Affordable and Creative Ideas for a Rustic Farm Wedding

Attire

Printed dresses — with pockets! Cowboy boots for the ladies and a hat for the men — These twists to your attire will provide the perfect level of fun and formality for the occasion. Select jewel tones for your theme – teal, purple or rose for your colors! This color palette fits in perfectly at any country wedding.

Bouquet

Sunflowers are a cheerful and affordable choice; add some lavender for contrast. A rustic bouquet filled with a bold arrangement of wild flowers is purposely imperfect. Choose an arrangement that looks like you could’ve plucked it right out of the garden. Keep the stems of your wildflowers loose for a more relaxed vibe. Shades of white combined with loose greenery reflect the more laid-back vibe of a rustic wedding. Also, we have a wonderful photo opportunity idea to show off your attire and bouquet – place your bouquets in your cowboy boots! Another affordable option –  Instead of bouquets, give each bridesmaid a mini vase of baby’s breath in a twine-wrapped Mason jar to carry down the aisle.

Dessert

Display your dessert options on tree trunks or tree trunk platters – Lily Farm Fresh Event Center and The Bridal Pantry have many low cost and creative options! A tiered cookie cake, for example, is a wonderfully homespun take on the classic wedding dessert. Donuts, cupcakes or homemade candy can be a fun and unique way to show your guests how sweet you are!

Centerpieces

There are so many low cost and creative options to create the rustic farm wedding ambiance for any country wedding! Create a “cage” out of twigs, and decorate it with flowers, berries, and candles. Utilize branches, ferns, and moss in a simple vase. Add a pop of color to a burlap-wrapped vessel with a personalized bright colored ribbon. Stack burlap-wrapped Mason jars atop tree trunk slices. Keep it simple with Mason jars and contrasting flowers. Top a wooden box with an eclectic mix of bottles wrapped in twine and burlap. Top your farm tables with flowers inside milk buckets. Wine bottles repurposed as table numbers pop against the neutral hues of the burlap table cloth and tree stump centerpiece. Place your centerpieces in cowboy boots instead of vases! So many wonderful options!
