Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Gather Equipment
First things first, I head to my storage area to gather all the lovely rustic decorations. I pull out burlap fabric, Mason jars, fairy lights, wooden pallets, twine, vintage crates, lace doilies, flower bouquets, wooden signs, candles, tablecloths, centerpieces, feathers, succulent plants, burlap table runners, and wooden slices. This is going to be so much fun!
Step 2: Create a Cozy Atmosphere
I start by laying down the wooden pallets as the foundation for the seating area. They give that country charm I love! Then, I spread out burlap fabric over the pallets to create a cozy atmosphere. I make sure it hangs nicely and doesn’t sag too much.
Step 3: Decorate the Tables
Next, it's time to set the tables! I take my tablecloths and cover each table. Each table gets a burlap table runner in the center. Then, I place vintage crates on the tables for that extra rustic touch.
Step 4: Add Centerpieces
Now, I take the flower bouquets and arrange them in the Mason jars. I tie twine around the jars to add a nice finishing touch. I place them in the center of each table as the focal point. They smell amazing!
Step 5: Lighting Setup
In order to create a magical feel, I string fairy lights around the seating area and across the tables. The warm glow will be stunning as the sun sets. I also place some candles around in the Mason jars for an enchanting ambiance.
Step 6: Personalized Touch
Using the wooden signs, I write sweet messages and names for the guests and place them around the venue. It adds a personalized touch that everyone will appreciate!
Step 7: Feathery Details
I scatter a few feathers around the tables and in the centerpieces. They add a whimsical touch and tie in with the natural theme beautifully.
Step 8: Final Touch with Succulents
Lastly, I pot some succulent plants and place them around the venue. They’re beautiful, easy to maintain, and add a lovely green touch to the rustic decor.
Step 9: Admire the Revamp
With everything set up, I take a moment to step back and admire my hard work. The rustic wedding decoration looks absolutely stunning! I can't wait to see the joy it brings to the big day!
