Couples with the wedding style Dynamic, Rustic & Warm (DRW) have a love affair with the outdoors (and each other).  Wedding elements embrace the colors from nature, shades of burgundy, gold and green. This wedding style incorporates the natural world as a wedding venue and in the wedding florals and absolutely in the decor.

Your bridal party will embrace wedding attire like mismatched dresses and flower crowns for the bridesmaids and the casual wedding suits in tans or charcoal for the guys – shoes are optional. For this wedding style, brides may find their wedding dress in their grandmother’s closet or vintage store.  It will be free and flowy, with a multi-layered skirt, and romantic details throughout, like lace or delicate trim. The wedding hairstyle will be in the same manner, flowing, romantic, with flowers tucked into it and curls framing the face.

Wedding bouquet florals will be a monochromatic collection of a variety of flowers – creating texture and interest – using wheat, cotton flowers, and greenery as accents.  Wedding ceremony and table florals will have the same theme but just turn up the volume in size – think large wedding florals of pampas grass along the aisle or hung above the tables and greenery trailing off the table edges.  The wedding florals fit perfectly with the wedding venue of your wedding ceremony.

Ceremonies for couples in this wedding style are outside in nature, along the shore of a lake, on the beach, at the edge of a forest or next to a vineyard. You’ll time your vows to match the sunset, so you and your guests will be bathed in a warm glow as you say your “I do’s”.  For Dynamic, Rustic and Warm wedding venue examples, be sure to check out Waterfall Lodge set in the Santa Cruz Mountains against the redwood trees and Park Winters in Winters, California, set beautifully in the lush countryside.

At your wedding reception, your guests will be seated at long wooden tables layered in flowers and greenery.  Wedding elements in this wedding theme will include natural fibers like linen or woven grass placemats sitting underneath place settings, and chalkboard style place markers or menus inform the guests where to sit and what will be served. Your own crafted or locally made microbrew will be served to your guests during cocktail hour before enjoying a family-style dinner.  

With regards to wedding photography, you might create a collection of photos all in sepia tones.  You’ll definitely want professional wedding photos that capture the golden light of the sunset, the laughter and emotion of the days, and a bit of drama or fun to the styling.
