Burlap and Weddings: A Perfectly Rustic Combination
A natural or rustic wedding theme simply calls for the use of burlap. What could be more unique and give more of a country feel than beautiful centerpieces adorned in burlap, or floral bouquets with burlap bows, as opposed to the traditional ribbons? Add these looks alongside your favorite cowboy boots underneath your glamorous dress and you have the perfect rustic wedding! The opportunities are endless when it comes to incorporating burlap into your wedding theme, whether you want to go all out and use every idea or simply use one or two; here are some fun, unique ideas for you to use:
- Tie burlap to the back of the chairs instead of ribbon or using chair covers
- Use burlap bows to decorate the pews in the church
- Wrap mason jars with burlap and a small decorative item as a centerpiece for your tables
- Have faux burlap flowers made to place on your wedding cake
- Add a sash to your wedding dress that is adorned with burlap flowers
- Make your garter out of burlap flowers
- Use burlap to tie together your flowers, such as lilies, to use in place of an expensive bouquet
- Tie silverware together at each place setting with burlap rather than a satin ribbon
