Rustic/Nature Theme Anyone?

Any other brides doing a "nature" or "rustic" theme out there? I'm looking for places to get some good ideas for decorations. I'd love to hear about any websites that are good for reception decor ideas for this theme, or if you'd be willing to share any of your own ideas, that would be great as well!

I used a lot of bird motifs and flower designs to create a nature theme... Our flower arrangments were really heavy on the greens and we used "garden" type roses. We got married outside in a park and then our reception site had a lot of wood and was an old building. Those are the things we did... hth

Try these links...this site has great inspiration ideas...

Thanks girls! There are so many different ways of doing a "rustic" theme, but the mustloveweddings forums were great. JuneBride, I love the idea of the bird motif - I've been seeing some really fun things done with it lately!

Im not sure what your colors are but here are some "rustic" inspiration boards to get your creative juices flowing! :)

I was aiming for a fall rustic feel. I don't have any websites to share but a tip for how to make rustic themed decorations is to use spices. Hot gluing cinnamon sticks to tea candles or even larger candles and hot gluing spices to other glass decor. I saw this on Get Married on Lifetime. I havent tried it myself, but it looked easy and rustic.

I love the rustic look..
