Ideas For Seating Place In Rust Colors

Design your wedding reception seating places in rusty colors in keeping with your rust wedding décor 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 White Ideas In Wedding Décor

Rusty colors are great to combine with white when designing the décor for a wedding. White is a neutral canvas that can work with all types of colors and hues.

For your wedding seating, you can consider wooden or metallic bistro chairs with off white chair pillows on some chairs, and amber hued pillows on others.

Your guests would also love to see elevated lanterns and string lights hovering over the tables in a glow. This idea would work for an outdoor or indoor wedding, rustic, vintage or even a traditional wedding. The lanterns can be alternated, one brown and the next white, in line with the rust white theme. Add some wreaths and greenery for some pops of color and an ethereal vibe that would only make your event feel more special than ever.
