1. Rustic wedding ceremony arch
Your wedding photos will be amazing when you say your "I dos" under this rustic arch. It's not a country wedding unless you have some beautiful wood included in your wedding decorations. The good thing about wood is it goes with any color palette and numerous wedding themes from rustic to boho.
2. Rustic wedding table
Table decorations are one of the easiest ways to add some rustic touches. Use a burlap table runner or tablecloth down your wood table and keep it simple to make your wedding centerpieces pop. You can even use a wood slice as a base for your place cards. Add some fresh flowers to the mix and that's all you need for a beautiful table on your wedding day.

3. Hay bales for ceremony seating
This is such a fun option for an outdoor wedding, especially a farm wedding. Put some blankets on the hale bales and it's easy seating for guests during the ceremony. You could even repurpose them as some outdoor lounge furniture for the reception. Talk about country chic! These will obviously go with all kinds of wedding colors so you don't have to worry about whether or not they will match the decor.
