Add Country Charm To Your Wedding With These Ideas
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.

Photography courtesy Mimmo & Naz.
I’ve had couples come to me with a last minute request for the wedding invitations for many different reasons; planning their wedding on a short timeline, a friend was supposed to do them, and they just plain forgot!
Whatever the reason you need to get these invitations out two months before the wedding and if that date has already passed, then as soon as possible will have to do! Read the rest of this entry »
