Bye Bye Burlap!
Around 2008 rustic weddings became the biggest trend. Along with that came the baby's breath with mason jars and burlap. WOAH, did we just blow your mind? That means that people have been doing mason jars and burlap for over 12 years!!! So we are officially declaring the new 2021 season, "Bye Bye Burlap!"
Don't get us wrong, we love a rustic wedding and that’s kind of our specialty, but if you work with us we are going to take so much into count to create an amazing event for you and your guests. We really want to get to know you, the décor in your home, and your style. This helps us create a design that is current and truly you.
So is it possible to do rustic without these? UH YEAH!!! WE DO IT ALL THE TIME! Here are our top 5 tips to have a rustic wedding that does not look dated.
1) Adding to the venue: If you've selected a rustic venue, but that's as far as you want to go begin by choosing shapes and metals. You can do this with signs, containers, and stationery.
2) Furniture: Think about the space, if it needs a touch of wood finishes to bring in the rustic feel you can use chairs, tables, and other furniture to bring in the style.

3) When everything is wood: If your space has floor to ceiling wood finishes, consider linens and draping to soften up the space.
4) Don't be afraid to use color: Don't be afraid to soften or brighten the space with colors. Flowers and greenery can transform a space to help, bonus if it reflects the time of year.
5) The Great Outdoors: What can be more rustic than an outdoor wedding and letting the natural area be your rustic décor? Using the great outdoors as your backdrop allows you to bring in an elevated design inside your tent or outdoor space that can be both classy and elegant.
So, next time you think rustic, let’s take it a step further and get creative with the design to truly come up
with a design and event that reflects your personality, your story, and your style!
