Frederick MD Wedding Planning - Rustic Decor Ideas

Over the years that we have been the Wedding DJ in Maryland, we’ve seen a lot of trends come and go. We get to visit many different wedding venue types over the course of a year. Hotels, Ballrooms, and Mansions certainly, but we also visit more country/rustic venues thanks to the many barns, and State Park venues in the Frederick MD and the Lancaster PA area.

These wedding venues not only present an opportunity to sometimes save on the overall cost of the wedding, they also allow a bit more freedom in terms of personalization.

As a DJ | Photo Booth | Lighting company, we seldom step out of our wedding lane and into that of wedding decor, but we thought the popularity of the rustic look is worth delving into.

Why?

Rustic weddings seem to make people more relaxed. It seems that as the formality is dialed down a notch or two, guests seem a bit more willing to loosen their tie, kick off their shoes and interact with each other on and off the dance floor.  

For couples on a budget, rustic is the perfect decor choice! The rustic decor option allows couples to create something gorgeous without spending a fortune.

There are several benefits to choosing this route for your wedding decor:

1.    It is very easy to make the wedding more personal and unique.

2.    For those who like to “go green”, this rustic invites recycling or re-purposing.

3.    For the non - traditional bride eclectic is nearly synonymous with rustic.

4.    It can be really simple and create an easy way to include friends and family who want to help you prepare for your dream wedding.

5.    You can save money for things that will add fun like a Photo Booth or Yard Games.

Cake, gifts, party favors, guest book’s: weddings provide plenty of surfaces for a rustic touch.

Rustic planks of salvaged wood can make evocative tables.

Wine barrels are another great choice for unique surfaces with a rustic vibe; they’ll add a hint of sophistication in addition to being useful.

Little touches can make the biggest difference.

Start small, and you may be surprised how simple accents can bring your wedding to life.

There are so many options for romantic lighting that really set the mood and give your wedding a rustic feel. Create the perfect ambiance with old fashioned Edison bulbs or a sweet D.I.Y. chandelier.

From table settings to party favors, mason jars are a central part in many rustic weddings. There are plenty of ways to incorporate them into your wedding, but this list will point you in the right direction.

Even if you don’t hire a bartender, you can still serve your drinks in ways that are stylish and perfectly suited to a rustic wedding.

Mason jars are perfect for this and you can make it more unique by offering a few of your favorite cocktails on the drink menu.

Burlap is another inexpensive and flexible material that, when well-used, will add texture and beauty to your wedding.

Looking for the perfect signs? D.I.Y. chalkboard designs and old shipping pallet’s, are just a few options that will complement your rustic theme.

You set the tone for your big day as soon as your invitations go out.
