What is The Rustic Look?

The rustic look embraces the use of natural materials like wood, lace, and hessian, accompanied by country flowers, grasses, and foliage. It’s especially favored for barn weddings, as it exudes rustic charm and sets a romantic ambiance. Signature elements include bare wood tables, rough linen napkins, greenery, and muted colors, all working harmoniously to craft a warm and inviting atmosphere. This timeless and beautiful style is perfect for couples seeking a laid-back, nature-inspired wedding.

How To Style Rustic Dresses?

Nature-inspired Accessories: Opt for accessories that reflect the beauty of nature. Consider adorning your hair with a floral crown or a headpiece featuring leaves and blossoms. Choose jewelry with nature-inspired motifs like leaves, flowers, or animals to complement the rustic theme. Boho-chic Belts or Sashes: Elevate the look with a bohemian touch by adding a beaded, macramé, or leather belt to define your waistline. These earthy elements will enhance the rustic charm of your dress. Rustic Hair and Makeup: Embrace a natural and effortless hairstyle that complements your dress. Soft curls, loose braids, or a tousled updo work well with rustic dresses. Keep your makeup soft and natural, enhancing your features without overpowering your look. Rustic-friendly Fabrics: Select fabrics that align with the rustic aesthetic. Soft tulle, lace overlays, or textured chiffon can enhance the natural and romantic vibe of the dress. Rustic Footwear: Wear simple sandals or cowboy boots. These footwear options add a relaxed and down-to-earth touch. Nature-inspired Bouquet: Complement your rustic dress with a bouquet featuring wildflowers, greenery, and rustic elements like twigs or berries. The bouquet should effortlessly blend with the overall theme.
