Your country wedding should be just as memorable as the first night you met your spouse. If you love all things country, western, and rustic, why not let your wedding show off your unique style?
But if you’re stumped on ways to make it amazing, mentioned below are some of the genius ideas and tips for planning a rustic wedding and bring your western wedding to the next level.
Find the perfect rustic wedding venue
This may seem obvious, but one of the first steps towards a perfect western wedding is finding the perfect rustic wedding venue.
With thousands of wedding venues across the country, it can be really overwhelming to look through them. This is where a wedding planner can help narrow down your choices with their best creative wedding planning ideas.
Pick out a few requirements for the venue – pricing and location – and then decide upon a few items you really want in your venue.
For example:
- Country barn setting
- Classic chapel setting
- Indoor or outdoor ceremony areas
Make sure you also ask about parking, guest capacity, accessibility, restrictions on noise and alcohol, and vendors. Some venues only allow you to choose from their list of accepted vendors, while others accept pretty much any vendor for your event.
Finally, once you’ve narrowed it down to a few, take a tour of your top rustic wedding venue choices. That way you can get a better feel for the venue itself in person.

Capture memories with a classic instant camera
Keeping with the rustic theme, what’s better than instant cameras and instant memories?
Place instant cameras on each of your guest tables and encourage them to snap some photos throughout the wedding and reception. You could even implement this idea with your guestbook. Leave slots open for guests to place their selfies in, and then write a message beneath.
Snapshots and captured memories are best ways to make your wedding more memorable.
So, go around clicking and capturing memories!
