If you are having a casual celebration like an outdoor barn wedding or a reception at a mountain lodge, you need the perfect rustic informal wedding decorations. The entire mood of your wedding can be changed by how you decorate the space. These are some of the best ideas for great decorations for casual outdoor weddings.
It is fun to utilize less common blossoms in your wedding decor, especially for a casual affair. Anything natural and interesting is great to work into rustic outdoor weddings. For instance, instead of formal cherry blossom branches, create centerpieces out of cotton branches. The cotton is so white and clean looking and it is also a bit offbeat. Fruits and vegetables are also wonderful for rustic weddings. Footed glass urns with fresh lemons and limes will look cool and refreshing for a hot summer wedding. It would be sweet to surround them to a hydrangea wreath. Fresh picked fruit like crisp Macintosh apples look great for decor and are also tasty to eat after the wedding.
It always looks terrific to fill a birch bark vase or wooden box with seasonal fruits, vegetables, and casual blossoms. Create a beautiful rustic centerpiece for a fall wedding at a barn using pinecones, mums, and gourds. If you were having a casual spring wedding, it would look fantastic to line clear square vases with stalks of asparagus. Add a bouquet of springy peonies on the top to complete your stunning centerpieces that will have everyone talking.
Give careful thought to what kind of table linens you will choose. If your style is sort of a country elegance, you might opt for a tea length lace wedding dress with simple bridal jewelry. Crocheted pieces on shabby chic style painted furniture would be a charming place to display the wedding favors. Bring textural fabrics into your wedding decor for another layer of style. Create a lounge area with artful draping of fabric like linen or dupioni. Wheat colored table overlays in a slubby fabric make a nice neutral backdrop for your table decor. Swiss dot table linens would be absolutely charming for a spring or summer wedding. One of the great things about an informal wedding is that you can do anything you want for your tablecloths.
No wedding is complete without the flicker of candlelight. Candles have an added advantage of being quite affordable. Use lanterns and enclosed candle holders to protect the flames from a breeze. You could use pale blue pillar candles in hurricane lanterns for a casual beach wedding. Tall spike candleholders can be put into the ground to line the walkway around your wedding site. Suspend small birdcages filled with candles over the tables, or use them to line the aisle. Create an inviting and festive wedding with the decorations you choose for your casual wedding.
