Starting with the aisle and ending with the chairs, the wedding ceremony is a very cool place to be decorated according to the environment it is taking place in. You can use tons of flowers and other natural details accordingly with your location. A beach wedding cannot be decorated exactly like a forest wedding, while using a tent or not raises other problems and solutions. You can spread all over the aisle petals and confetti in all the colors you can think of, but if this happens on a beach, larger blooms in strong colors should be your first choice. If your event is surrounded by green, pink, mauve or red flowers should be everywhere arranged in bouquets, arches and garlands.

After the ceremony follows the reception, where you can show off all of the wacky or extra classy ideas you might have in mind. The guests ought to be greeted by beautiful flower arrangements with all the glitter you can think of, but try to stick to very strict color palette not to overcrowd the place. If you are partying on the beach, candles in the sand and taller tiki torches are a must and you can mark and decorate with rope and long pieces of white fabric flowing in the wind.

Rustic Country Wedding Decoration

Everyone thinks a wedding should be very sumptuous with lavish accessories and a very stiff attitude, but there are some people that want to keep the elegance and the festive feeling and add a touch of fun and modernism to the whole mix. If you wish to keep your wedding simple, but very comfortable for all it is not imperative to lose all the fancy items you might have thought of, but adopt a more rustic theme.

You can start using this main idea even from the ceremony. Instead of the normal chairs you can use big tree logs cut in small chair like pieces or as long benches. To decorate them, you can take some watering can, metal buckets and milk containers, fill them with flowers and place them at the end of each row. Don’t use roses, lilies or calla lilies, but take some time to find field flowers that have a much more country appeal. Other fancier ornaments can be done out of wheat or even hay placed in strategic piles and held together by rope made out of lightly colored fabric and flowers. As a funny detail you can use instead of pillars for the altar forks and shovels adorned with details such as tulle and blooms.

We begin with the ceremony, a part of the wedding event that needs to be more elegant, simple and traditional, rather than extra creative and fun. You can stick to the classic flowers and fabric combination or you can try to add some more modern accents such as a calla lily on each chair or an altar made out of rope (braided flowers and fabric). People usually bring into play roses, in colors related to pink and red, but you can make it unique and opt for dyed roses in more vivid shades, for example blue and dark purple. You can buy them or produce them in your own home by leaving white roses in water mixed with color pigments. For fancier results try finding more explicit instructions.

Passing on to the reception, now and there is the place and time to make a statement. To have a successful party with a great look, you start by choosing a color scheme and a wedding theme and include those in everything.  Try to keep everything comfortable and interesting at the same time to capture your guests’ attention, but not to displease them in any way. Starting from the entrance and ending with the hall, you got to show them why they are there and highlight this by adding very wedding like symbols such as panels with the names of the couple, bells and ring representations. The hall’s/tent’s ceiling can also be adorned with balloons, hanging flowers or simple straps of fabric. Other embellishments can be nets made out of small light bulbs and great arches composed of flowers.
