Rustic Romance.....

 A Rustic themed wedding can be one of the most romantic wedding themes around. It's all about pairing classic pieces like silk,and pearls to Rustic, or natural elements like a wooden crate, or used barn. I must admit I didn't quite appreciate the Romance a Rustic wedding carries until I saw Bella's wedding that mirrored a Mid Summers nights dream. It was truly breath taking! From Her Elegant Dress to the hanging flowers I was in love. Here are some Ideas from dresses to cake on how to make your Rustic Romance come to life....


Flowers


So as I mentioned the key to a Rustic weddings is adding Classic Elegant pieces to Warn or natural pieces. For Bouquets Cream, Neutrals, and Pastels work the best. Take a full arrangement of traditional flowers such as roses and add wild flowers inbetween. Leave the Stems long (Remove any thorns). And Wrap a silk bow around the middle of the stems. The silk and roses add the elegant touches, while the stems and wild flowers bring in the perfect natural finish. Find A sash that was once your mothers or grandmothers for a thoughtful sentimental touch. Or even an old sash you used to tighten your old ballet slippers from grade school as a cute gesture to your parents.


For Center pieces you can choose several different types of flowers and place them in glass canning jars, Clear jars are my personal favorite but you can choose which ever you'd like or a mixture of a few. You can also place them in things like a steel watering tin, or old glass soda bottle, even glass milk jugs would work perfectly. Can't find the perfect rustic vase? Don't worry just opt for more wild flowers or a simple white porcelain vase atop a wooden table.

Cupcakes


So there are a few options you have of course. One Buttercream Rose Cupcakes in wooden or steel crates. This is beautiful and effortless. Or just scatter neutral rose petals and cupcakes on wooden table. If you like the more tradition Cupcake tier look, go for a while steel or porcelain cupcake tree. Butter cream rose cupcakes start at $2.75 with price breaks for larger orders. Please Call Scrumdidily Dollops for more details.


Cakes


My first thought it a cream unfinished stacked buttercream with neutral colored flowers on top. But why not mix it up a bit? Add a sheer fabric on top of your table and scatter roses and cupcakes like this. On top of the table with the sheer fabric is just a steel 1970's coffee table. You can probably pick up something similar at the thrift store. If not stack two wooden crates(One large, one medium) For a similar effect.

Or go for a buttercream cake with intricate pipping detail. Intricate piped cakes are stunning opt for a cream or ivory cake with matching piping on top of a worn steel base or wooden base.

Unfinished buttercream cakes start at $2.25 per serving with price breaks for larger orders. Intricate piped cakes vary upon complexity of design, Please call Scrumdidily Dollops for more details.


The Venue


Outdoor weddings are my favorite. Finding the perfect place can seem like a daunting task, but you have to have imagination! You won't find Bella's wedding just walking down the road. The majority of what made it so beautiful was the touches that were added not the actual venue it self. For a Rustic Romantic wedding, get creative! Look for small towns. A pond can be a great setting, a place with large Oak Tree's is perfect. An Equestrian Ranch would be beautiful as well. And of course if you have a relative with a nice piece of land by all means have at it! lol. In Santa Paula there a few great spots, First being "The Oaks" The Oaks is located to left of Ojai and got it's name for having HUGE Oak trees Everywhere! It's like stepping into Anne of Green Gables.

Opt for wedding chairs pictured on the left, instead of the white folded chairs pictured above. Add canning jars with lights for a fire fly effect. Or string flowers for a mid summers night stream effect.




Another  great place in Santa Paula is The Limonera Ranch, Have your wedding surrounded in beautiful lemon orchards? What could be pretteier. Since your flooring will be dirt, bring in more classic pieces like cream cotton table clothes. Instead of bear tables.







Another amazing option is a Vineyard. I adore the outdoor chandelier, Just stunning.


The Bride


When I think Rustic Romance, I think Lace and loose curls. Here are a few ideas for the big day....
