While nature’s majestic beauty takes care of some of the details, there are still a lot of decisions to be made when it comes to the theme for your big day. Brides-to-be have so many options for coordinating wedding decor with the rustic, natural elements provided by the mountains.

Nature’s gifts can be incorporated into just about any element of your wedding decorations. Tie-in the simplistic beauty of the outdoors in your table decorations and bridal bouquets with foliage, small branches, or local wildflowers. The lush greenery compliments any style, and it’s eco friendly and compostable. The simplicity of the floral bouquets this bride chose look like they were plucked right from the woods behind them. The delicate white flowers, wrapped in a variety of different greenery, are just the right pop of color against the rich blue bridesmaids dresses and the lace bodice of the bride’s gorgeous dress.
In with the Old Out with the New for a Rustic Theme
A popular trend with wedding decor is the rustic look which fits perfectly with a mountain wedding. Incorporating a rustic theme puts the focus on handmade details, rugged accent pieces, and repurposed vintage items. There are so many creative ways to be unique in your style. These adorable flower girls carried dreamy fragrant rose petals in natural looking, well-used gardening boxes, complete with a handle made of branches from a honeysuckle vine wrapped in white ribbon. The vintage lace hems on their ivory dresses give the look of a delicate, handmade style. The handmade touch adds a personal feel to your mountain wedding.
