Add Country Charm To Your Wedding With These Ideas

Posted October 12th, 2011 | 3:00 pm | By Bailey Spagat | No Comments

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.

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!

This picturesque view of Vermont is the ideal scenery for a Fall wedding.

Wow. I can’t believe that summer has come and gone–so quickly too. But, I’m such a fan of the Fall season that I’m not sad to see summer behind us.

Of those half are e-newsletters that I’ve subscribed to over the past few years, and for some reason just don’t have the heart to unsubscribe (or I’m too lazy to click the unsubscribe button–I know it’s a bad habit). However, one e-mail that I do look forward to reading is Vera Wang‘s e-newsletter. Read the rest of this entry »
