Rustic Weddings are all the rave. And we can see why. They are beautiful and add a warm comforting touch to this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Putting together a rustic wedding isn’t always easy. Take these tips from Paula Ewers of Swank Soiree Weddings + Events to make sure your future rustic wedding is one to remember.
Many times when you think rustic, you think burlap, mason jars and lace which are heavily used. Â To shake things up, add bits and pieces of your style and fashion. Â Let me let you in on a couple of tips that I found useful for my bride besties!Â
1.  Procure a venue that exudes the beauty of your wedding vision.
Look into different types of venues that suit your needs. Be encouraged: you do not have to have your wedding at a farm or barn to achieve the rustic vibe you have in mind. Keep an open mind! Â
2. Slip in to a dress that embraces your curves and enhances your confidence.
Be patient in the search. Â Once you find your hidden treasure, hold on to it! Â Whether it be a lush princess cut dress or a vintage lace dress, the most important thing is that you feel good about what you selected.Â
3. Â Don’t be afraid of using pops of color or texture to make your wedding unique to you.
Brides at times can get lost in an earth-toned color palette.  To change it up, add a feminine elements to your wedding by utilizing soft hues, crystal or pearls.Â
4. Â May your bouquet speak for you.
Hire a florist who is willing to think outside the box with the size and types of flowers used for your bouquet.  Take a trip to the local flower market to obtain an idea of types of flowers you would like to use.  You may find things that you never expected.  Non-floral bouquets are an option too for those who are not in a floral frenzy and want something such as pine cone or cotton bouquet. Â
5. Calligraphy always adds a nice touch!
Using a watercolor or earth-toned agate stone as the background with a gold or bronze foil writing will give you the opportunity to personalize all your stationary in a way that sets you a part from the norm.Â
