Rustic Wedding FAQs
When it comes to finding the perfect rustic wedding venue or wedding barn, there are a few questions you might have. Here, we've rounded up some of the most common with answers from Hitched's Assistant Editor, Lydia Mormen.
How do I find rustic wedding venues near me?
What makes a rustic wedding venue?
"The word rustic really can be defined in so many different ways! For us it's typically about using natural and organic elements within a countryside aesthetic. We've handpicked venues that have barns with exposed wooden beams and stone floors or scenic surroundings with forests or manicured gardens.
"Rustic weddings are the antithesis to modern, glamourous weddings and it's the perfect vibe for couples that love nature and being outdoors."
How do I decorate a rustic wedding venue?
"When it comes to decorating a rustic venue think of natural elements that you can incorporate like wooden furniture, natural fabrics and greenery to bring the outdoors in. For the flowers, opt for wild flowers and sunflowers and even hay bales with blankets for outdoor ceremonies.
"The lighting also plays a huge part in creating a cosy, magical feel. Candles are a great way of adding soft light, as well as fairy lights and lanterns."
Can you have a rustic wedding indoors?
"Absolutely! Rustic weddings indoors are perfect for the colder winter months and if you pick the right venue you can still nail the vibe. Choose a barn, lodge or cottage for a cosy feel and with the right decor you can really amp up the rustic charm."
What's the difference between a boho and rustic wedding?
"While rustic weddings focus on simplicity and natural textures for a countryside feel, boho weddings tend to be more eclectic and vibrant with a mixture of patters and bolder colours. For a rustic wedding think earthy tones and elements whereas a boho wedding could be more whimsical and artsy."
What colours suit a rustic wedding theme?
"Our favourite colour schemes for rustic weddings include earthy neutrals like browns, rusty orange and sage or pastel colours including lavender, mint or peach."
