Rustic weddings are very popular and charming. They usually feature a combination of farmhouse, vintage, and rugged elements, such as wood slices, burlap, baby’s breath, mix-and-match vases, barrels, and galvanized metal1. You can also add some elegant details like chandeliers, greenery garlands, candles, and string lights to create a classic rustic wedding style1.
Some rustic wedding ideas include:
- Choosing a barn venue or a tipi for your ceremony or reception2.
- Having alternative desserts like homemade pies, doughnuts, waffles or pie pops1.
- Using succulents as escort cards or favors3.
- Carving a heart on a wood slice as your guest book
- You should consider the capacity of the barn and how many guests you want to invite1. Some barns may have a limit on how many people they can accommodate comfortably and safely.
- You should also think about the location and accessibility of the barn23. How far is it from a popular airport, nearby accommodations, or your home? Is it easy to find and reach by car or public transport? Is it safe and secure?
- You should check what services and amenities are included in the barn venue4. Some barns may offer full-service packages that include catering, decoration, coordination, entertainment, etc. Others may require you to bring your own vendors or rent equipment separately.
- You should also be aware of the potential challenges and costs of having a barn wedding56. For example, you may need to obtain permits, insurance, or licenses for certain activities. You may also need to pay extra for heating, lighting, cleaning, etc. You may also want to provide some comfort items for your guests like flip-flops, blankets, umbrellas, etc.
