Church decorations for a rustic style wedding
Often when organising a wedding and reception, most of the energy (and money) goes into preparing an imaginative arrangement for the wedding hall. We don’t know why the place and the moment when the people in love are supposed to say the sacramental yes to each other gets pushed into the background. This is a big mistake. Especially since church decor doesn’t have to cost a fortune
So how do you decorate a church?

When you are planning a rustic-style wedding, you can use herbs, cereals and field flowers to decorate the church. Natural bouquets hung by the pews look really great and emphasise the special atmosphere of the ceremony

Rustic wedding or boho style?
Boho and rustic style weddings have many things in common. Such weddings are characterised by greater freedom compared to traditional, classic receptions. Nature also plays a very important role in them. Wondering what the differences are?
A rustic wedding
Both styles are strongly connected to nature, but the rustic style, however, places particular emphasis on the beauty and simplicity of country life. Therefore, when arranging a wedding hall, antique cupboards, country clay pots, sheaves of grain and bouquets of field flowers are often used. Some people even go a step further and choose a barn adapted for this purpose as their wedding venue (or opt for an outdoor wedding, such as in a garden or vineyard). The characteristic colours for this style are white, green and various shades of wood. Popular materials include lace and simple, raw fabrics – jute, linen and unbleached cotton

Boho style wedding
The boho style combines rustic freedom and fascination with nature with elegance. This is because it retains many elements characteristic of classic and glamour weddings. Boho weddings are idyllic, casual. At the same time, they also have an elegant character with references to retro style and art. Characteristic colours for this style include white and shades of beige, which are usually combined with gold accessories and contrasting theme colours (the bride and groom have complete freedom here – it can be yellow, fuchsia, bottle green or royal blue). Characteristic accessories include lanterns, light garlands, bouquets of pampas grasses, feathers, tassels, macramé and lace
