Rustic wedding theme

A rustic wedding theme is a popular choice for couples who want to get married in a relaxed and natural setting.

This wedding style often takes place in the countryside or at a barn venue.

The decor for this type of wedding is usually quite simple with lots of natural elements such as wood, greenery, wildflowers, and vintage pieces.

A rustic wedding aesthetic is for couples looking for a relaxed, natural wedding vibe.

How to pick your wedding colors?

The first step if you already have your venue should be to look at what colors will work with your venue. Then think about the season and theme of your day.

If you have a favorite color or one with special meaning this can be a good base color to start with and build a palette with the points mentioned.

10. Minimal rustic color palette

Mixing aesthetics is a great way to make a wedding or event truly unique and personal! Minimal and rustic can in ways seem so far apart but with this neural simple color scheme followed through with the styling it could be a super sleek rustic wedding theme.

11. shades of wood

Is it even a rustic wedding without a wood slice? I must admit I try to push couples away from the typical wood slice centerpiece for a rustic vibe. Wood is a great texture though to use in interesting ways. This color palette pulls all the colors from wood making it the perfect rustic color scheme.

12. Peach, rust, and green

This palette is great for fall/autumn and winter weddings. It is a perfectly balanced palette with sage green and peach lighting the moody tones.

13. Dusty blues

Possibly still my favorite color to use in events, dusty blue. Mixed with soft blues and grays and lots of lush greenery it creates a stylish rustic aesthetic.
