Wood is the foundation of rustic weddings. The definition of rustic is relating to the countryside or constructed in a plain and simple fashion. Wood is simple yet beautiful with each piece looking a little different from the other. Use wood as centerpieces, cake stands, or anything else you want! It’s the necessary rustic touch.
