Rustic with Classic Influence couples with this wedding style type infuse romance with their love of nature and the outdoors in all their wedding elements.  While the wedding colors may be muted or rich, for this wedding theme they’re all colors from nature in greens, browns, roses, and creams.  

Wedding attire for gentlemen is often dark wedding suits, chocolate or navy, or tuxes.  Bridesmaids will wear coordinating wedding attire with romantic details like chiffon skirts, lace accents or sheer overlays.  This wedding dress style embraces the classically romantic look of lace, subtle beading, long flowy skirt, and real ethereal beauty. A flowing romantic wedding hairstyle, natural makeup and just a hint of sparkle with the jewelry complete the look for this wedding style.

Wedding florals are a mix of the traditional, roses, peonies, and hydrangea, with a bit of the wild, branches, wildflowers, eucalyptus and fern.  Dark, rich greenery and pillowy, romantic pastels create beautiful wedding bouquets. Because this wedding style most typically have outdoor weddings, in a field, along a shoreline, or in a garden, the wedding florals look like they sprung right from the same spot.  Trailing arrangements lead to a wooden arch draped in flowers, creating the ultimate romantic spot for saying your “I do’s”.  For classic inspiration, Hacienda De Los Flores is a phenomenal example of classic wedding venues with its strong architecture contrasted against its beautiful garden, but for more of the rustic wedding venue influence, be sure to check out Waterfall Lodge set in the Santa Cruz Mountains against the redwood trees.

As soon as the wedding ceremony is over, the focus shifts to good food and good music for a wedding reception your guests will never forget.  A fantastic band plays while the bar serves craft IPA’s and local wine. Long wooden tables are set with full floral centerpieces, draped linens, and a touch of sparkle with gold chargers, candlelight or sparkling crystal are ideal for this wedding style.  All that, plus market string lighting overhead, creates the ultimate romantic wedding atmosphere under the stars.  

Wedding photography embraces the warm tones from the market lighting, candlelight or sunset.  Golden hued, you may want an album all in sepia prints. You want professional wedding photos that capture the personal, the candid, and the love of the evening, so you remember the feeling of your wedding night for years to come.
