This is a trend that can be followed by both the bride and the groom and is a great way to add a vintage touch to your upcoming nuptial ceremony.

Rustic Props and Decorations

The word rustic refers to anything that is rugged and primitive, and a rustic wedding will reflect just that. A rustic aesthetic is very much inspired by the countryside and nature, so you can expect to see rustic props, decorations and even furniture and table settings. The decorations are often made from natural materials like wood and twine, and feature blossoming flowers and plants, especially those growing wild like lavender and sunflowers. Some other rustic wedding decor ideas include vintage ornaments, earthenware or wooden plates, wooden utensils, jars, and vases. You can also go for tree stumps or large wooden boards as table settings, or place a barn door as a wall decoration.

More Decorations: Bouncy Castles and Slides

If you want to make your wedding a kids-friendly affair, you can go all out and plan decorations that will appeal to all ages. Things like bouncy castles, slides, and even temporary tattoos or face painting are sure to keep your guests entertained and nostalgic.

You can also go for themed decorations, like a retro arcade or carnival-themed wedding to keep the younger folks engaged and entertained. Temporary tattoos are a great way to make your wedding guests feel like kids again without having to build a giant inflatable obstacle course. You can have your wedding logo, your names, or even your wedding date tattooed on your guests' arms.

Touch of Greenery

If you want your wedding to stand out from the rest, you can go for a touch of greenery. From greenery-covered tables to bouquets made of some of your favourite leafy greens, you can go all out with this trend. You can even create a floral centrepiece with a variety of plants, including ferns and lavender. To enhance the greenery-heavy look of your wedding, you can go for a colour palette that is dominated by greens and yellows. A colour combination like that of green and yellow can be very eye-catching and will give your wedding a very distinct look.

Vintage Wedding Dresses

If you are a fan of vintage clothing, you can go all out with vintage wedding gowns and attire. From wedding gowns to headpieces, you can go for old-fashioned gowns that have their roots in vintage fashion. Many people choose vintage gowns because they are not as popular as other styles, making them a unique choice for your big day. You can also go for vintage accessories like shoes and handbags. Vintage accessories can be the perfect finishing touch for your vintage wedding gown. Choose accessories in colours like red, blue, and black.

Natural-Looking Makeup for Brides

The trend for natural-looking makeup is one that is gaining momentum, especially amongst brides. If you prefer a more organic approach to makeup and bridal aesthetics, you can go for a natural-looking wedding look. A natural wedding makeup look will focus on enhancing your natural beauty and keeping it as authentic as possible. The look should be as subtle as possible, with eyeshadow and blush tones being kept to a minimum. You can go for a dewy finish that is achieved by applying a light dusting of highlighter and setting it with a loose powder. If you want to sport a more dramatic look, you can always go for a more synthetic look. However, the trick is to not go overboard with it.
