Board #189: Urban Rustic

The initial inspiration for this board was the beautiful ethereal photo in the top left corner. The pale light and dry ivy in her hair made me want to a combine a clean, minimalist lines with rustic brown details. I think this wedding could work easily in both winter and fall, in a barn or a bare white studio. Louis Ghost chairs paired with heavy wood tables might work. You could ask guests to dress in winter white and shades of brown. After dinner, set up slightly worn antique love seats and chairs for guests to lounge in, and serve miniature desserts. An orchid bouquet wrapped in raffia creates an interesting contrast, or maybe white garden roses mixed with brown oak leaves. What other ideas do you have for combining modern urban style with rustic country style?
