Rustic Wedding Decor For NJ Weddings

If you’re looking for a wedding style that combines both nature and romance, then rustic should be at the top of that list when tying the knot at the Sterling Ballroom located at the DoubleTree Tinton Falls. Rustic-themed weddings once thought to be outdoor or barnyard themes have now become a popular option for couples all year long both inside and out. Planning a rustic wedding? Here are some beautiful style and decor ideas to consider.

Color Schemes

When it comes to choosing a color for your rustic theme wedding, there are plenty of choices. Sticking to lighter hues and earthy tones are ideal. Peach, dusty rose, cobalt blue, eucalyptus, sage green, and lavender are just a few options one might consider.

Floral Arrangements

Flowers are a staple for any wedding. However, for a rustic wedding theme you want to go with a plethora of wildflowers as opposed to one or two types. Adding lots of greenery to the bouquets, arrangements, and centerpieces give them a more country-living barnyard vibe.

Chalkboard Signage

Signage is commonly used at weddings as a way to send messages to friends and family, give directions, and provide information to those attending your wedding. To give it a more homey feel you can create signs using chalkboards and chalk.

Lanterns and Mason Jars

You can’t have a rustic theme wedding without incorporating lanterns or mason jars. You can add them to wedding ceremony decor or add them as centerpieces for your reception tables for a southern, romantic feel you and your guests will love.

Imperfectly Perfect Wedding Cakes

Traditionally, couples opt for an elegant tier cake frosted with fondant and decked out in everything from lace and flowers to ribbons and more. If your theme is rustic, however, the cake design should be simplistic, imperfect, yet perfectly made for you. Barely-there frosting, berries, and other minimalist decor are best for your cake.

The Perfect Backdrop

Last, but certainly not least to tie in your theme, opt for a background that screams barnyard love. You could take photos in front of an actual barn or opt for some woodsy, outdoor area for your bridal photos. Luckily, the Sterling Ballroom is located just minutes from several areas that would be perfect. Ask the Catering Staff for their local suggestions!

Rustic weddings are timeless, classic, vintage, and very popular wedding themes. If you and your spouse to be are considering a homey, simplistic, yet elegant wedding, hopefully, these photos have given you some inspiration on how to tie it all together.
