How to Style a Rustic Bridal Outfit

istock-537635142

A rustic wedding celebrates love in a down-to-earth atmosphere.

Rustic implies a crackling fire and cinnamon candles with a snowy backdrop; it evokes aged wine barrels and rustling leaves beneath a warm summer sun; it gives us visions of repurposed mason jars, burlap-covered tables, and bales of hay on a sprawling farm.

This theme can be interpreted in different ways; generally, a rustic venue incorporates the rugged charm of the outdoors! Whether you’re getting married in a vineyard or the mountains, your backyard or a national park, this style of wedding is enchantingly pastoral with a family-friendly twist.

A simple, idyllic bridal ensemble completes an outdoorsy wedding theme. Discover the perfect accessories for your greatest adventure yet.

6 On-Trend Essentials for Your 2017 Wedding

My-answer-is-yes!-000108784591_Medium.jpg

Engaged? Congrats!

Getting married is, of course, about celebrating your love and commitment. Although weddings are steeped in tradition, having one doesn’t mean you need to feel like you’re in a previous century.

Modern ceremonies can incorporate everything from pop culture references to non-religious vows. Your celebration should feel special—a great way to do this is by incorporating the things you love best!

We’ve rounded up six ways to personalize your wedding in ways that are totally unique and modern. Scroll down for ideas that might work for you!

pouring-tea-at-a-garden-party-000043007540_medium

Own Your Colors & Theme

While the venue you choose influences the overall feeling of your wedding, the colors and theme you select make a huge impact. For example, if your favorite color is blue, represent it in your wedding! Or maybe you’re in love with a tea party theme because he proposed in a garden. From Star Wars to engineering to cupcakes—whatever your passion is, incorporate it into your décor and make the celebration truly your own.

Cup-cake-for-wedding-ceremony.jpg

Signature Food & Drink

Gone are the days of the standard, multi-tiered wedding cake. (If you want one, of course you can have one—anything goes!) Whether you envision a table filled with desserts or a donut bar, your favorite treats can find a place at your wedding. This goes for meals, too—it’s fun to serve family dishes instead of picking random courses from a caterer. Signature drinks for the bride and groom are trending, or you can feature seasonal foods and drinks. Pumpkin spice lattes, anyone?

Just-married-couple-on-top-of-the-mountain-taking-selfie-000103428107_Medium.jpg

Social Media or Unplugged

Some couples create a hashtag to collect photos from their guests, particularly from the reception. Other couples prefer to leave the work to professional photographers and videographers, so their guests can enjoy living in the moment. The decision of whether or not to allow cell phones is entirely personal. Connected weddings better include absentees and encourage sharing on social media. Unplugged ceremonies focus on in-person experiences and keep photos exclusive. Your call.

wedding-day-in-Budapest-000106862255_Medium.jpg

Dress To Impress

These days, what you wear at your wedding is up to you. While religious traditions hold an honored place in wedding ceremonies, wedding gown designers have created gowns for every style. Big trends right now include full skirts, removable layers, off-the-shoulder necklines, and exotic laces. Keep in mind that a room full of people will be watching—but your dress doesn’t have to cover every inch of your skin, either. Choose a gown that makes you feel beautiful, comfortable, and very much like you.

i-do-000074349385_medium-1

Personalized Accessories

It’s the little things that count. A sparkly belt, stunning shoes, a pretty clutch, or a silky shawl will make a big difference on the big day! Wear your favorite earrings, or maybe pin on a family heirloom such as a brooch. The point of something old and something new is not to fulfill superstitions, but to incorporate personal history into your wedding ceremony. Also, coordinating a pretty veil and headpiece will really make you feel like a gorgeous bride.

Rustic-Dining-Table-000075676933_Medium.jpg

Ethical & Sustainable Choices

From flowers to dresses, it’s easier than ever to know exactly where your stuff comes from. Modern weddings are all about positive choices: hire local businesses, order organic food, or gift eco-friendly favors. Reduce pollution by providing group transportation for guests. Order invitations printed on recycled paper (or go paperless). Consider asking for donations to charity on your registry. The giving-back trend focuses on doing good for the environment and your community.

How To Plan a Gothic Wedding

102416-1.jpg

With Halloween just around the corner, it’s tempting to let your imagination run wild.

If you were stranded in a zombie apocalypse and could only choose three items for your safe house, what would they be? What if you faced a witch who offered to show you your future—would you say yes or no?

More seriously, what if you met the love of your life and found out they were just as weird as you? And what if you both decided to plan an utterly fantastic Halloween wedding?

For all you non-traditional brides out there, or perhaps for lovers of medieval art and architecture, we’ve come up with six killer elements you need to style a wicked Gothic wedding.

102416-2.jpg

Archaic Venue

The best place for a Gothic wedding would obviously be a Gothic cathedral. According to Wikipedia, this style of architecture arose in France in the 12th–16th centuries and migrated to pre-Renaissance Europe. Castles and cathedrals overseas were often built with flying buttresses, pointed arches, and ribbed vaults. A few Neo-Gothic churches and universities in America have also incorporated these haunting yet beautiful features.

Dark Romance

Another meaning of gothic relates to 19th century literature characterized by desolate or gloomy settings with mysterious, supernatural events. These strange tales often incorporate romantic elements. A few prominent writers in this genre include Ann Radcliffe, Edgar Allen Poe, Mary Shelley, Robert Luis Stevenson, Emily Brontë, and Bram Stoker. You can pay homage to their literary talents with décor such as crows, cages, thick draperies, dark flowers, and quotes. Play up “’till death do us part.”

Horror & Mystery

Some gothic novels dip into the realm of sensationalism and horror. Stephen King and Anne Rice have dazzled brave readers with terrifying characters and plots. Add elements of mystery to your setting with candlelight and medieval table settings. If you’re hosting a macabre Halloween wedding, serve vampire-inspired foods and dark wines. Set up an old-fashioned photo booth and entertain your guests with a murder mystery game!

102416-3.jpg

Film Inspiration

Maybe your vision is inspired by modern Gothic films such as Underworld, Sleepy Hollow, Interview with a Vampire, Dorian Gray, or The Woman in Black. You can plan your wedding around an Underworld theme with elegant tablescapes set for vampires and werewolves. Prefer a rustic wedding? The Legend of Sleepy Hollow evokes a barn celebration with pumpkins. For a classy Victorian affair, make black lace your main fabric and decorate with black or red roses.

Bewitching Bridal Ensemble

To create a soft goth ensemble, play off a black and maroon color scheme, or even choose a black wedding gown! If you’d prefer a ghostly look, get a foldover veil and let it float around you with mysterious allure. Wear a sparkling belt or vintage-inspired headpiece for attention-grabbing style. You can accent your outfit by filling your bouquet with dark colors or autumnal touches. Add ribbons or an antique brooch to complement your theme.

Vintage Dress Code

The most deliberate way to style a Gothic wedding, apart from period-inspired décor, is by asking guests to come dressed accordingly. The word gothic can mean barbarous or uncouth—enter counterculture movements—but typically this means medieval clothing. You can alternatively use a black tie dress code or ask guests to wear dark colors. Take inspiration from your favorite Gothic tale and let your imagination fill in the rest.
