Country Weddings

A country wedding can be a beautiful and unique event. But, just like any successful wedding, it requires good planning.

You’ll need to keep a few things in mind to make sure everything goes smoothly, and we’ll help you out with them today. Here are a few ideas to help you plan the perfect country wedding!

• Rustic Signage

Rustic signage is a great way to add country flair to your big day. From welcome signs to directional arrows, there are plenty of ways to incorporate rustic signage into your ceremony decor.

Try making your signs using chalkboard paint and wooden boards for a DIY project. Or, for a more polished look, hire a local calligrapher to create custom signage for your big day.

• Potted Plants

Potted plants are perfect for adding some greenery to your ceremony site. Plus, they can be easily repurposed as centerpieces or wedding favors.

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance option, succulents are a great choice. And for a more colorful option, try potted annuals or perennials.

Simply choose your favorite plants and pot them in colorful ceramic pots or galvanized buckets!

• Shepherd’s Hooks with Hanging Lanterns

Using shepherd’s hooks as décor requires skill, but with a professional wedding decorator helping you, it can be pulled off!

They add height and interest to your ceremony site and are perfect for hanging lanterns, signs, or flowers. Why not hang the mason jars or vases filled with flowers, too? And shepherd’s hooks are relatively inexpensive.

• Draped Fabric

Draped fabric is a simple yet stunning way to decorate your ceremony site. It’s perfect for creating an intimate setting or hiding unsightly views. Plus, it can be easily customized to match your wedding colors.

• Greenery Garlands

Use greenery garlands to add some color and interest to your ceremony site. They’re perfect for draping over an arbor or hanging from shepherd’s hooks

Greenery garlands can be made using a variety of greens, from ferns to eucalyptus. Of course, add flowers to your garland too!

These all sound great, don’t they? And would you like your country wedding to have as much flair and color too? Then, come to our exciting shows and meet talented wedding planners, decorators, and other professional wedding vendors to plan your wedding!
