2. Tree stump decor
One of the most beautiful features of the rustic wedding theme is the way nature is incorporated. Sprinkle tree stumps among your decor as coasters or cake stands.
3. Mason jar lighting
Mason jars have a way of making everything feel country and cozy. Put tea lights in them to light up the night! If that’s not your style, they also make great glasses or favor containers.
4. Cowboy boots
These are a western wedding staple! They’re the perfect footwear for bridesmaids or groomsmen, but they also work well as decor.
5. Bonfire
If your country wedding is outside or has field access, having a bonfire is a great way to relax at the end of the night with your guests. It’ll bring back camping memories and presents the opportunity to make s’mores!
6. Hayrides
This transportation option fits the theme much better than a traditional limo. Bonus: let your guests go on hayrides during the reception. It’s as fun for adults as it is for kids!

7. Wildflower bouquets
Using a bouquet that could’ve been plucked from your garden will be fitting for this ode to nature.
8. Burlap decor
Burlap can add just the right touch of rustic simplicity to your decor. It’s also incredibly versatile – check out these 10 ways to use burlap in your wedding.
9. Flannel bridesmaid shirts
Wearing matching outfits while you get ready for the big day makes for a great photo opp. Plus, button down shirts allow you to change without ruining your hair and makeup.
10. Wooden signs
Direct your guests to the dancing, bar and dinner areas with painted wooden signs.
