The South African Wedding Guide

Posted: 22 November 2010

With so many romantic elements that can be incorporated into your rustic wedding, you can transform this day in to a charming occasion.

An old barn convert would be the perfect venue, especially if surrounded by fields or located on a farm - nothing screams “rustic” more than this.

I can e across some lovely rustic ideas that can be incorporated into your wedding. I just loved the barn wall behind the main table adorned with framed mirrors of all shapes and sizes. This adds such a unique touch. Another idea that caught my eye was the cake table - instead of having a traditional tiered cake, the couple opted to have cupcakes on a tiered metal stand. Next to the cake they had a big black board with chalk writing indicating the different cupcake flavours. I loved was the use of an old wagon where guests could place their gifts.

With a rustic wedding theme you really can get away with minimal flowers. Use country bunches and different types of flowers to make up rustic centrepieces, and place your vase on a stack of old books in the centre of the table. You can also use hessian table overlays if you really want to enhance the rustic feel.
