The Venue
If the weather permits, an outdoor setting can add a lot of flavor to a country style wedding. There can be nothing more romantic than saying your vows and celebrating your union in the midst of beautiful flowers and trees. Look for an open field of wheat or daisies or a farmhouse meant for hosting events. Alternatively, if indoors is the only option, a renovated clean barn decorated with strings of twinkling lights can be great idea.

Wedding decor
Since it’s country themed wedding, incorporate woodsy, nature inspired elements to the décor. Use items like raffia, twigs, and corn on doorways, arches, and aisles. You can also create a wooden archway and adorn it with pumpkins and apples. If yours is an evening wedding, line up the aisle with lanterns or votive candles placed in mason jars. For the reception, consider mismatched dinnerware, distressed wooden chairs, and wooden signs or chalkboards to guide your guests.

Wedding invitations
Invitations have the power to set the mood for an event. Flower prints with a warm background like forest green or sunshine yellow can lend your invites the ultimate rustic look. If possible, handwrite your invitations on a recycled paper for that eco-friendly, rustic feel. You can also create your invitations using a picture of the wedding venue as the backdrop. Rest assured, your friends and family will know that this wedding is not to be missed!
Planning a country theme wedding is fun and often inexpensive. Work around with these tips and suggestions to create a memorable, rustic event.
