Rustic Weddings

Think simple and crafty; very DIY, so if you fit this category and want something other than the standard hall rental, you will really love planning this style of vintage wedding.

The first thing you are going to want to look into when planning one of these themed weddings is going to be the location!

Rustic or barn weddings are great when planned outdoors, so you have to be certain that you are going to have fairly nice weather...look for spring, summer and fall seasons.

Great locations to think of using for this kind of themed wedding are anything outside, in your backyard, in the country and especially around barns and farms.

Check online for local venues/businesses that cater to outdoor weddings or get in touch with a Wedding Consultant who can help you locate the perfect place for your wedding.

What you can also do is ask your local farmer if you can rent space for the day at his/her farm.

If you do this, make sure that you put your agreement in writing as to how much will be paid, what is included, the date and length of the wedding and be sure to have your Wedding Insurance in place to protect yourself in case anyone gets hurt or property damage.

When you start to think of planning your wedding in this rustic/vintage wedding style, be sure to let your guests know the kind of wedding that you will be having by sending them out Rustic Wedding Invitations.

You can also start thinking of what kind of colors to use for your wedding and wedding party. Some great color combos are:

• bronze, forest green and black
• mint, seafoam green and salmon pink
• rust, copper and aqua
• wine, mauve and blush
• orange, cream and steel
• lilac, butter yellow and mauve
• khaki and blush
• maroon and apple green
• gray and sage
• gold and light blue
• chocolate, mocha and cream
• turquoise, moss and apricot
• cantaloupe, honeydew and pistachio
• willow, powder blue and eggshell
• oxford blue, amber and dove white
• midnight blue, purple and vintage rose

And don't forget to incorporate some lace in your wedding as in Lace Wedding Accessories and even Vintage Style Wedding Dress or a Lace Wedding Dress.

Add some lace accents to your reception tables or table runners in your wedding colors and don't forget to use some really simple Rustic Wedding Centerpieces with simple glass containers, jars or even mugs with simple flower arrangements or even a single bloom.
