Affordable Rustic Wedding Inspiration

Q. I would like to get married at my parents farm and have a very casual barbecue reception with swimming and dancing. However, my future mother-in-law thinks that is corny. What do you think? Any suggestions for affordable decorations Thanks!

A. Congratulations on your engagement! I think a barbecue country wedding would be a lot of fun. Decor for a country wedding is quite easy. Here are some ideas….

Gingham tablecloths with wild flower centerpieces in simple vases can create a charming homey atmosphere.

Create tables with large wood barrels and old rustic wood boards or doors.

One of the simplest ways to add a touch of fun to any wedding is with signs. Signs do not need to be the boring or traditional. I recently found some really cute vintage signs on an Etsy shop called Sauls Creative. I like these signs as they are hand painted on recycled wood. Here are a few of my favorites…..

This vintage Grill This Way Wood Sign would be perfect for an outdoor barbecue.

Hope You’re Living High On the Hog is an old Southern saying and would be charming for a rustic farm wedding.

This Vintage Wood Coffee Sign would be fun to display behind your coffee serving area. After the wedding you could hang it in your kitchen.

Add a touch of charm to your pool area with this distressed Life Is Better By the Pool Wood Sign.

Encourage your guests to dance the night away with this Da Wake Zone Wood Sign.

A farm wedding would seem naked without burlap, lace, and, mason jars…

Baby’s Breath is very affordable and just seems to go perfect with a rustic wedding.

Bales of hay covered with cloth can make fun seating areas.

****A very special Thank you to Sauls Creative for allowing us to use their vintage sign photos. You can view more signs here.
