A traditional rustic wedding can bring you back to the basics while still looking stunning. Karin of Heart Love Always describes a rustic wedding as “heartwarming, sweet, diverse, creative and oh-so-much more.” It’s a style that embraces vintage design, textures and natural organics. It’s also spectacularly beautiful.

If you love rustic style and you want your wedding to show it, you’ve come to the right place! Sign Art Etc has helpful tips on how to plan a pastoral wedding that shines.

Colors
A rustic wedding is a way of getting back to the basics, so no need for too many different colors. Stick with simple monochrome decorations and earth tones.

Decorations
Remember that simplicity and down-home feeling are key here. Think about including some of these elements:

• Twine
• Burlap
• Chalkboards
• Wooden signs
• Cowboy and cowgirl boots
• Mason jars
• Simple bouquets

Pick a bouquet that looks like it was just freshly picked from a meadow. Serve drinks in mason jars, and direct your guests with signs made from chalkboards or wooden planks. A barn would be a perfect setting, but if that’s not possible you can hold it outside and decorate with strings of simple outdoor lights.

Your rustic photo booth
While you may be veering more towards a simple, low-key aesthetic, you can still have fun with your photo booth pictures. You can customize a banner to match your wedding theme. You can select one of our many templates and add your names and the date of your big day, or you can use a barn image or simple wood paneling, perfect for your down-to-earth nuptials.
