It's all coming Together

One thing that overwhelmed me at the beginning of the wedding planning process was all the decor details. As I browsed theknot.com and Google image searched, I was overwhelmed by photos of real weddings that were full of little details that brought themes together.

I put much thought into a theme and how to make one happen. And slowly, over time, I've been finding ideas I love that fit our theme of rustic elegance.

With the wedding growing nearer, I feel that all those little details are finally coming together:

 Lighted tree branches in rustic containers,



Centerpieces of copper-colored lanterns with a candle surrounded by moss,


Mason jars with candles,

Escort cards displayed using twine and old wooden ladders decorated with flowers and candles ,
A cake stand made of a slab of wood,
Chalkboards as signage,
Mismatched wooden picture frames to display photos of us around the reception.


As it turns out, we don't have to have an outdoor ceremony or a barn reception to have a rustic wedding. It really is in the details.
