Hey there, rustic-loving brides and grooms! Looking for some inspiration to achieve the perfect balance between earthy and elegant for your big day? Look no further, because I’ve got all the rustic chic wedding ideas and trends you need to know!

Décor: From wooden accents to greenery galore 🌿🌸

When it comes to a rustic chic wedding, you want to create a cozy, warm atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and laid-back. One of the easiest ways to achieve this is by incorporating natural elements into your décor.

Think wooden accents, like farm tables and gnarled branches, paired with soft, billowing fabric and plenty of greenery. A beautiful backdrop could consist of a suspended floral wall!

You’ll want to use organic, neutral tones as your base and add in pops of color with flowers; mix and match greenery like eucalyptus, ferns, and olive leaves. Softly illuminate the space with string lights encased within neutral colored lanterns. This will help create a subtle ambiance, especially at night!

Fashion: The perfect rustic chic look 👔👗

Obviously, you’re doing the fashion thing for your rustic chic wedding, and let’s be honest, here; you’re going to have to look beyond the timeless tux/ white wedding dress look for this particular theme.

For the bride, an off-the-shoulder gown with delicate lace details is quintessentially rustic chic; keep the makeup minimal and fresh. Grooms can try lighter fabrics such as seersucker or linen, paired with a vest and perhaps a bowtie.

You can even throw in custom elements to your wedding fashion like booties instead of classic heels, or a rustic style hat and belt for the groom!

Food: From farm to table 🍴🌽

What else screams a rustic chic wedding then farm-to-table food? You sure want to feed your guests moderately but with the perfect rustic ambience. Locally sourced ingredients and less formally presented dishes are a great way to emphasize the rustic vibe.

Individual charcuterie boards can be used for cocktail hour, family-style platters for dinner, and perhaps a s’mores station or unique pies presented for dessert! Trust me, you’ll have more happy guests this way than a formal sit-down meal.

Stationery: A touch of earthy elegance 💌🌱

Start building the anticipation with stationery that compliments the beautiful garden-style feel of your celebration. Ontrend typography and natural outline graphics can add a clear touch of rustic elegance.

Think earthy colors like olive and dusty blue, with details like floral motifs, letterpressing, and natural-fiber paper. Give your guests a little sneak peek of the decor of your big day so they have a fair idea of what their in for!

Wedding Favors: In line with your theme 🎁🧁

Lastly, why not surprise your guests with something that speaks to them and stays true to your beloved theme? Planning season-dependent favors can be an excellent way to steer away from the typical wedding favors, such as personalized wine bottles or writing pens.

You could gift your guests with handmade, organic honey or homemade candles with a scent that goes well with the overall rustic atmosphere of your celebration. Confectionery like rustic cakes or cakesicles, and soup mix, honey, or herb jars could also make for absolutely lovely wedding favors!
