How to Plan & Style Autumn Sustainable Wedding Decor at a Rustic Barn Wedding

 This is probably one of the most timeless and versatile of wedding styling themes for your wedding and one of my personal favourite’s – as it is so versatile and can be adapted for any venue. It can be as eclectic as you wish or rustic and include modern touches. In fact I think the combination of all three is perfect to create a style just perfect for you.

Tips to design a cotswold sustainable wedding

We all need to our bit to help the environment and create more sustainable weddings by reusing, repurposing and recycling this is achieved when you hire wedding decor and hiring wedding props and by using seasonal and locally grown flowers and foliage where possible. decor and hire props you areither a large budget or small budget the best option is to hire your props and accessories as we have a fantastic range of unique vintage and modern props from the UK, France and India and accessories to create this look on any budget and for a fraction of the cost of buying new. You also are doing your bit for the environment by re-using. 

The larger the budget the more you can hire and have a larger budget for the flowers. Equally on a low budget add more tealights and also some home grown flowers or some from you family and friends gardens. You can supplement the florist’s table decorations with pots, jars with your flowers add tea lights and candles. 

Personal touches make all the difference, Style your table plan with shutters and pretty pots, greenery hoops, use an old window frame or pallet to have name places on, and of course the ever popular ladders with flowers, wellington boots filled with flowers.

Vintage linen, gauze table runners, chiffon table runners or cheesecloth table runners all help to add to the look or keep it very rustic with wooden trestles, foliage garland runners and vintage seating and lots of lanterns and tea lights.

Decorate wedding ceilings with muslin drapes, festoon lighting, floral or greenery hoops or cart wheels.
