There are lots of ways to decorate a wedding aisle in the rust wedding theme. One of which would be to create a dreamy aisle lined with earthy florals such as wildflowers and lush foliage to tie in that rust-compliant look.

Rust Wedding Decor For the Reception

Centerpiece In Rust Wedding Colors

One of the major elements to consider when putting together your rust table design for a wedding is the centerpieces. For that elegant and yet rusty look you can get wooden lantern pieces and fill them with fairy lights to give off that enchanting feel.

You could combine these with wood crate centerpieces to act as flower boxes that can overflow with abundant arrangements of seasonal blooms. These wooden crates can be replaced with Mason jars if you prefer. They can be left transparent or wrapped in ribbons in colors of deep orange or nude.

Table Decor Ideas

Consider adding a rusty chic vibe to your wedding reception venue with slabs of wood or wood slices. They can be used as bases for decorative arrangements, be it florals, candles or even lanterns.

Some other element that is sure to stand out is neutral copper tones that would only enrich the rusty look. Copper tableware paired with chargers or glasses in fuchsia or amber hues, alongside copper mugs, would add warmth to the aesthetic. Combine with rattan lanterns for texture and canopies of bougainvillea, eucalyptus, and roses for some pops of fresh and contrasting color.

Seating Place In Rust Colors

Design your wedding reception seating places in rusty colors in keeping with your rust wedding decor theme. If you are having an outdoor ceremony or wedding reception, you can tie in your design with nature. Go for minimal-style seating with wooden bistro chairs and amber pillows with the backdrop of birch trees or an olive grove.

If you need decoration for your seats, you could consider golden and amber-dyed bunches of wheat tied to the back or side of each chair. This alternative to the usual floral blooms could make your seating décor stand out in a most unique way.

Rust Wedding Decor Lounge Zone

For a decor piece that will truly stand out, you could go with a wine barrel or several wine barrels for a bar table. Arrange the barrels side by side and set a wooden slab on top of them. A unique and focal point that would definitely draw the attention of your guests. Decorate with amber hued dried flowers and garlands of greenery, and it is set.

Your lounge can have unique signs as well. Create wedding signs out of wooden hoops and ribbons in your theme colors, for truly adorable decor.
