Want an eco-friendly wedding with plenty of handmade components, but you don’t necessarily want it to *look* like it was cobbled together by a gang of amateur crafters?
Rustic chic is the look that you’re looking for. A rustic chic wedding emphasizes vintage and natural materials, and a simplicity of construction that both makes the projects more do-able, and keeps them from looking overdone. With rustic chic’s additional emphasis on salvaged, one of a kind components over mass-produced commodities, it’s also a look that works well with modest budgets.
