Add Country Charm To Your Wedding With These Ideas

Country Charm

If you’re a country girl at heart you’ll love this collection of rustic ideas for your rural-themed wedding. Drawing inspiration from your own backyard, use natural greens and browns as your colour scheme incorporating the textures of burlap, pine cones, and grass into your linens and floral arrangements. Take advantage of the comfortable theme of your wedding and choose sensible footwear like flats or cowboy boots and have your bridal party follow suit. Surprise your guests with unique DIY projects like homemade desserts and handmade favours for a charming wedding inspired by the country.

A tent was placed right behind the hostess’ house, allowing the guests to enter through the front of the home, pick up their place cards within, and then be lead to beautiful set of french doors which opened upon the unsuspecting beauty within the pavilion. Read the rest of this entry »

Summery Wedding Decor

I seriously love this time of the year (although the weather over the last few weeks has been sort of odd). Regardless, I’m always so eager and ecstatic to see what other home decor stores are busting out for the summer. Decor stores are actually where I get a lot of my inspiration from. Pottery Barn in particular always has some amazing ideas, and although they are for the home, I can easily see their items being implemented into wedding celebrations. For example, I went online to check out a birthday gift for my mom (Happy Birthday Mom!) and thought that a potted plant is a pretty a neat alternative to having floral centrepieces. There’s something so earthy and calming about them. Another great idea would be adorning your tables with these chic and beach-like lanterns.
