Theme: Rustic Elegance

Dreaming of vintage-inspired rustic elegance for your special day? This beautiful wedding has all the personal touches you'll want to include for your wedding.

.

. 

The burlap banner and paper fans add a personal vintage touch to the venue.

.

If you are having cocktail tables, use table cloths that drape the floor and tie them with wide burlap ribbon. It offers an elegant feel with a rustic touch.

Guest Escort Cards

.

.

We just love how this bride used such personal titles for her guests. This was such a special touch! Notice all the details here: the display of the cards, mini clothes pins, twine, and tags with striped ribbon. This is such a fun and unexpected way to display the escort cards at a wedding!

Guest Tables

It is so rare to see colorful patterned plates at a wedding reception. This detail offers such a personal touch to the guest tables.  All the vintage inspired elements at each table were warm and welcoming. Notice the cloth napkins rolled and finished with twine and a button. Each vintage inspired vase at the tables were different. Details really do matter, and Traci's finishing touches are really what made this wedding come together.

Each guest table looked a little different! The vintage tins Traci used for the flowers offered a unique detail. The flowers are absolutely gorgeous and the color scheme perfectly complimented the theme. From the burlap runners, to the rolled cloth napkins, and the centerpieces, this wedding is nothing short of breathtaking. It is possible to have a rustic wedding feel elegant - it's all in the details! 

.

Head Table

The perfect spot for a perfect couple. Cozy, intimate and elegant. Don't get caught in the trap of wanting everything to be uniform. It's the unexpected details that allow a venue to feel more welcoming. The different styles and sizes of flower arrangements here are beautiful!

Sweet table 

All the sweets at this table were made by family! So sweet! Renting vintage items is the perfect way to create a warm and inviting space without breaking the bank. Like this serving table for instance, it is the perfect table for all the sweets and adds to the theme! It is a stunning display!

 Extra Details

Traci added vintage items throughout the venue. This old suitcase painted with chalkboard paint served as a sign to the reception. It is surrounded with galvanized tins, paper flowers and fans, and vintage vases.

.

.

The ceremony aisle was adorned with these burlap wrapped paper flower cones. Who knew paper flowers could be so gorgeous! 

.

.

Traci filled the shelves with tons of vintage items!  The photos are of the bride and groom's family - soooo cute and personal!!  Guests were able to use this typewriter to leave them a message on their wedding day. 

.

.

Such a cute little detail!! Keep the dancing going by providing comfortable shoes for your guests. 

.

.

This wedding was impeccably designed by Traci and no detail was left out. Vintage inspired with a rustic flare and no skimping on elegance! Rustic doesn't have to mean casual and informal. Keep it classy and dress up your wedding with thoughtful, personal and on theme details! 

.

We are looking forward to sharing more wedding inspiration over the next few weeks! Stay tuned to see what style we unveil next.
