Wedding Style - Raw Rustic

Ideas for embracing the rustic trend in a coolly contemporary way

Weddings are highly personal events, with everything from the dress to the decor hand-chosen in a style you love. But, of course, personal choice sometimes needs a little helping hand - especially when you have no idea what you want! This is where trends come in handy... Being able to predict what will be 'trending' in upcoming wedding seasons means you can plan your day knowing you'll be able to find inspiration and suppliers who can help create your bridal vision. Thanks to online scrapbooking Pinterest, who've reported what people have been pinning, sharing and searching this year, read on to be inspired by what's hot and happening...

RAW RUSTIC

The rustic trend is still going strong, but the modern way to embrace the theme is less shabby chic, more texture, rough edges and stripped-back beauty.

There's a move towards metallic and industrial spaces, and features such as exposed brickwork, textured wood and lush foliage. Florals in sumptuous colours will bring depth to the look, while feeding your guests from grazing tables or sharing platters beneath warm lighting or around a firepit will complete a bang on-trend party.

In keeping with the vibe, embrace a relaxed beauty look with loose tendrils of hair framing natural-looking make-up and don a boho-luxe gown in cream or ivory finished with golden accessories.
