Rustic Wedding Decor 🌿🌺

Rustic wedding themes have been a trend for years now. The natural elements in this style exude a calm and romantic aura. And the best part about a rustic theme is that it doesn’t usually cost a lot. Here are some DIY decor ideas:

  • Flower crown station Create a flower crown station where guests can create their own crowns using fresh flowers. You can display flowers in repurposed vases or mason jars.

  • Hanging planters Hanging planters can turn empty spaces into pretty focal points. You can use a mixture of succulents, ferns, and air plants and hang them on either side of the ceremony aisle.

  • Wooden signs You can DIY your wooden signs with found items from your backyard. Use reclaimed wood, a wood-burning pen, and a bit of creativity, and you’ll have charming wooden signs that add a rustic touch to your wedding.

Modern Wedding Decor 💡🎨🖋️

If you’re planning a modern wedding, the decor should coordinate with the clean lines and muted colors associated with this style. You could also opt for a minimalist approach where less is definitely more. Here are some ideas:

  • String lights With the twinkling lights’ warm glow, they can transform your reception venue in just minutes. Hang them around the venue to add a modern flair.

  • Acrylic signage Acrylic signs look great no matter what type of design you want to put on them. For a modern wedding, choose simple black or white letters on a clear background.

  • Table number photo holders This DIY idea is perfect for a modern wedding! You can use black or white photo holders and add a metallic touch by spray-painting them with shiny gold or rose gold paint.

Garden weddings are elegant and romantic, perfect for couples who want to be surrounded by nature. The key to creating beautiful garden wedding decor is to pick florals that match the overall garden vibe. Here are some decor ideas:

  • Hanging floral installations Hanging floral installations are an amazing idea for a garden wedding. Create your floral installation using tulle, floral foam, and a variety of blooms in different sizes and hues.

  • Greenery table runners Greenery table runners are easy to make and are perfect for a garden wedding. Use fresh ivy and eucalyptus leaves that cascade over tables’ edges and add small arrangements of flowers.

  • Floral arch A floral arch is an excellent idea for a garden wedding. Use a combination of greenery and flowers that matches your overall color scheme. To make it stand out, add pops of color with giant blooms in pink, peach, and yellow.
