Modern Rustic Weddings

Marrying couples have different ideas as to what would make their wedding day special.  Some would want a dignified event while others want their wedding to be as laid back and casual as possible.  There are also those who prefer a more rustic type of wedding where there are horses on carriages and barn raising at the reception.

Modern rustic weddings have real charm especially for couples who like to brave the outdoors and just have fun.  Planning for this event will require a lot of work especially since it will be held outdoors and there is a required participation from horses and possibly other types of animals.

Rustic Horses

One of the most exciting and challenging phases in the preparing for a modern rustic wedding is picking out the horses for the carriage.  If you have a designated wedding planner, this will be very simple however, if you plan on doing all the planning yourself, there is a need to do a little research especially since there are only a few carriages for rent available.

Ranch Venue

Ranches are very hard to come by when you live in the city which means that you can either choose to get married in the countryside or find a venue which can be decorated according to the theme.  Mostly, you have to look for an outdoor venue as it is the most practical type of space for this kind of wedding.

Modern Rustic Wedding Favors

As a way of thanking all your guests who came to celebrate your special day, you should spring for wedding favors that are consistent with the theme of the wedding.

Some of the items that you can give as parting gifts for your gracious guests are cowboy shaped home made cookies, Spurs shaped meringue desserts, boot shaped fridge magnets and post it holders.  These things might seem very basic but they are awfully cute and useful.

Modern rustic weddings are expected to be more casual so it would be acceptable for the bride and groom to wear jeans (denims) at the wedding ceremony.  Yes, this would qualify as one of the very few times where it would be acceptable for brides to not wear flowing white gowns.

You see, in weddings, as in life, it is all about making choices that you are most comfortable in.  If you feel as though you and your spouse would be better off celebrating this way, then by all means get things ready so you can take your romance to the Rodeo.
