Rustic-Chic Wedding Design

I am simply obsessed with this gorgeous rustic-chic wedding! How fab is this design inspired by Kristy Rice of Momental Designs?! I just adore the natural, earthy tone inspired color scheme with accents of gray. My favorite detail has to be the antique farm door used as a table top and placed on top of painted buckets!

Put together with mainly created or found items, this whole design concepts total expenditure was $153... can you believe it?! The things you can do with a little creativity and a flea market, LOVE!

Rustic Love Bird Inspiration

Wedding Ambiance

When it comes to lighting for your wedding, I suggest leaving the Christmas lights for Christmas and going with something a little more chic! Which brings me to one of my lighting obsessions, Italian Bulb String-Lights! These lights bring a perfect element of charm and style, ideal for any shabby-chic wedding!

Try stringing the lights over the reception area and for added romance string across the dance floor.  Check out the patio section at your local Target, Walmart, or home-improvement store to purchase.

Milk Jar Centerpieces

I recently found and fell in love with these antique milk jars. How perfect would they be to use as centerpiece vases?!


Interested in using milk jars for your own shabby-chic wedding?! Look for antique milk jars at local antique stores and flea markets.  Milk jars come in varying sizes and can typically be purchased in bulk, perfect for a wedding! I suggest using as floral vases, candle holders, or for added charm use the jars as drinking glasses! Also try tying fun ribbons or burlap around the neck of the jars.
