Fancy a Rustic Country Wedding in Somerset? Here are some of our favourite ideas for a DIY country-inspired celebration…
Milk churns
1. Use a milk churn for a stunning floral display
Fingerpost signs
2. Stencil your own rustic country wedding signs
Table plan
3. Use an old sash window for your table plan
Rustic ladder
4. Give an old ladder a new lease of life with some paint and use it as a display stand
Flower vases
5. Galvanised watering cans make great flower vases
Jam jars
6. Decorate mis-matched jars and bottles
Living plants
7. Use potted lavender (or any other living plant) for a low-cost table centre piece – simply wrap your pots in some fabric or hessian and tie with ribbon. As an added bonus, it’ll make your venue smell sweet!
Cakes
8. Have a ‘naked’ wedding cake, or a cheese tower instead of a traditional wedding cake
Table runners
9. Use strips of hessian for table runners on rustic wooden tables
Logs
10. Log slices make the perfect table centre piece for flowers, tables numbers or favours. They also make a great alternative to a traditional guest book
Straw bales
11. Use straw or hay bales as seating for an authentic rustic country wedding
Bouquets
12. Choose flowers that are in season locally for your bridal party’s bouquets
