Elegance Meets Charm: The Perfect Rustic Wedding Inspiration

A luxe twist on a neutral colour palette

Rustic weddings are an aesthetic that, while always evolving, will never really go out of style. It's hard not to fall in love with the sweet and simple charm of rustic style. And with neutral, earthy hues and textures that are endlessly versatile, and it's easy to see why so many brides and grooms opt for cosy, nature-inspired vibes for their wedding day.

To help you achieve the perfect wedding look we've put together a rustic colour palette combining a whole host of beautiful organic elements.

We combined a rich green palette with pretty neutral florals and foliage paired with raw, rustic wood details for a look that's both refined and relaxed. The perfect wedding inspiration for a laid-back pair of lovebirds who would love to say I do under the trees in the great outdoors...

How to bring this chic and elegant rustic wedding inspiration to life...

  • Stationery: For a truly rustic wedding look, choose wooden invites. The perfect way to set the tone for your celebration.
  • The Style:  For the bride, a romantic and floaty gown paired with fine jewellery and a softly styled up-do would be perfect. For the girls, choose mismatched bridesmaids dresses in neutral tones. Add a little sparkle with beaded and embellished fabrics. Grooms and groomsmen look great in tweed, which ties in nicely with a rustic theme.
  • Flowers: A monochromatic palette of blooms helps keep the look elegant and timeless. Pair frilly cream peonies, cream roses, dahlias and ranunculus with laurels, Italian ruscus, ferns and eucalyptus. The key to perfect rustic arrangements is to keep them loose and undone - the beauty is in the imperfection. Bring nature into your space with lush ivy, ferns and mixed foliage garland as a ceremony backdrop or on the ceiling for a lush organic feel.
  • Decor: Decorate your space with wooden chairs and neutral linens or bare wooden tables and benches. Accessorise your tables with brass taper candlesticks, vessels and mercury glass votives around your beautiful floral displays. Use log slices to create some height. And for a simple yet sweet touch that won't blow the budget, add a fern or eucalyptus sprig at each place setting. Rustic signage with pretty handwritten fonts are perfect for showing your guests the way to the ceremony and reception.
  • Cake: Choose a simple buttercream frosting cake with mini vines or a sweet drip cake with salted caramel and fruit.
