Rustic Weddings, Country Weddings

1

Couples are always worried 'country' can be interpreted as 'hillbilly'.  You can do rustic with comfort food in a sophisticated way.  Just remember the charm is in not taking yourself too seriously and having fun!

My favorite picks around the web:
Frilly Milly Events did a "Lumber -Jack & Jill" themed event.  Sliders, fries in pretty paper cones, corn on the cob on a stick, tiny jars of baked beans.  The s'mores cupcakes with fruit kebobs for dessert.  The gingham backdrop with silhouette couples pictures in the back tie the decor together.  The simple sunflowers balance out the grass and burlap tablecloth.
If you're going to do 'country' why not do WINE country?

Hinako and Reflection's wedding was set at a rustic inn in Napa, California.  They used tomatoes from the bride's mother's garden as a theme.

The fields of the inn made a pretty backdrop for the outdoor reception.

Rich chocolate desserts were served on top of wine crates...
