    What is rustic style?

    Rustic wedding style emphasizes proximity to nature. Guests relax and have fun in the atmosphere of rural life; they admire the beauty of forests and fields. The French word “rustique” translates as “rustic,” “simple,” and “rough.” This style came from the U.S. Civil War times and European countries of the late XIX century when people were not up to lavish ceremonies – weddings were organized quickly and frankly.

    The main features of such family holidays include the simplicity of the decor and deliberate rudeness in materials and design. But this is only a superficial impression: wedding rustic – gentle and refined style, without unnecessary details; all the elements are very harmonious, and every touch – a real design find.

    Basis of rustic styling:

    • Natural materials
    • Wildflowers
    • Wood, moss, burlap
    • Outdoor Weddings
    • Classic colors: white, cream, brown, green, blue and blues
    • Natural colors: cornflower, sky, sand

    Characteristics of rustic bouquets

    In floristry, the rustic style implies the use of wildflowers. The bridal bouquet should look uncomplicated and careless, as if the flowers have just been plucked in the meadow. Dahlias, daisies, cornflowers, sweet peas, poppies, astilbe, and bells are good options for a wedding in this style. Shades of colors should be natural, pastel, and fresh. You can tie the bouquet with linen or twine to emphasize the style.

    Flowers for rustic bouquets

    Wedding bouquets are made in a natural color scheme. For this purpose, flowers of calm, non-shouting shades are used: white, cream, pink, blue, green, and gray. The accent can be yellow or purple flowers, but not too bright.

    Field flowers, such as poppies, cornflowers, bells, lilies of the valley, fragrant peas, dahlias, and lilacs, are suitable for the bouquet. Rustic wildflower wedding bouquets allow you to achieve the effect of a bouquet plucked right in the meadow. Do not fit cultivated flowers that look as if from a greenhouse. If you want to use roses, it is better if it is a peony rose, no less fragrant and beautiful than the usual.

    Rustic design

    The more green color in the bouquet, the better. The bouquet is decorated with twigs, small flowers, spikelets, ferns, and even berries. For example, gypsophila, ruscus, or asparagus will look good in the bouquet. These details will make the composition lively and natural, give it a lush shade, and highlight the leading flowers. Fluffy cotton will add tenderness and fragility to the bouquet.

    Spikes of rye and decorative greens help to give the bouquet a free, disheveled form. Traditional bouquet balls – an attribute of the classic wedding; they are not suitable for the celebration in the style of “rustic”.

    Bouquet decoration

    Do not use pearls, beads, rhinestones, sequins, and other bright and flashy details for decorating a rustic wedding bouquet. It is usually decorated with slightly coarse materials: twine, linen, burlap, or more delicate lace. All the charm of a rustic-style bouquet lies in its soft, natural style. If you want a multifaceted composition, it is better to turn to a florist. The professional will consider all the peculiarities, select the freshest flowers for you, and create your ideal rustic wedding flower bouquet.
