Are you planning to get married soon? Does the thought of walking down the aisle dressed all in white send a chill through you? Or are you simply the kind of bride and groom who doesn’t seem suited to a large church wedding with a puffy, princess-style dress?
You aren’t alone! In the last 10 years, there has been a trend of brides and grooms opting for different outfits for their wedding day, aside from the tux and flowing gown. These are more suited to those who are fans of breaking tradition and simply don’t want to wear what’s in the latest issue of Vogue!
If you want a wedding that is different from the rest, then read on, as below, you will be walked through five different looks to consider for your big day.
Barn Elegance
Many people are opting to host their wedding in a barn or other open-air venue, which adds a rustic theme to the day. These venues are typically decorated with wooden tables, as well as string lights and even burlap runners. The floral arrangements can be wildflowers or simply greenery wrapped in soft, colored fabrics.
As for what the bride and groom wear, the bride usually opts for a skater-type wedding dress, which is short and often paired with chunky boots. As for the groom, depending on his personal style, he may want to wear Ariat cowboy boots or even match his bride with the rocker theme.
Boho Rustic
If you are planning to have your reception and your wedding in a city, you can opt for Boho rustic. This allows you to use earthy tones such as terracotta, sage green, and blush in the decor whilst also using pampas grass, vintage rugs, and wooden furniture.
What will you wear? Many brides opt for lace or crochet dresses in pretty much any color they like and loose bridal hairstyles, which are adorned with flowers. The grooms may opt for matching-colored blazers with plain T-shirts.
Woodland Enchantment
If you are a fan of greenery or simply love the woods, then it can be the perfect idea to hold your wedding ceremony in a forested area or a garden. You can incorporate wooden arches that are covered with moss and climbing roses, as well as place ferns on every table.
Interestingly, when it comes to clothing, there are two ways to dress for such an occasion. Some brides and grooms opt for something resembling the outfits from Lord of the Rings and others opt for an authentic rustic vibe, which is often similar to the clothing worn in a barn wedding ceremony.
Vintage Country
Many people associate a country wedding with the traditional flowing white gown and a church, but this is not so! You can dial it down and incorporate vintage-inspired decors such as lanterns, lace tablecloths, and even mismatched china plates, with hay bales for seating and plaid or floral covers.
This does have a somewhat boho vibe to it, and it is perfect for those who are looking to incorporate unusual accessories into their wedding reception, such as antique gramophones and bronze typewriters.
