Gray and gold rustic wedding ideas

Fall and winter are perfect for rustic weddings and if you are still lingering on what theme you should choose for your wedding, do take this one into consideration!

Generally speaking, people associate rustic weddings with less elegance and class, but the truth is that choosing the right color theme can change everything for you. Switching from pink and red to gray and gold will add style and femininity to your rustic wedding and it will look absolutely amazing! Here are some of the best gray/silver and gold rustic wedding ideas to take into consideration:

Gold and copper can work wonderfully together and they will both add that “vintage” and “rustic” feeling. You can incorporate them in almost everything at your wedding: from the flower vases to the flowers themselves.

·         Also, going for a golden rustic tiara will look amazing. Simply get a tiara made out of leaves or dried flowers and have it sprayed with gold – you’ll look like a beautiful daughter of Mother Nature!

·         You can have your bridesmaids dress in gold and gray as well (you can either settle on one of the colors and its various shades or on both of them – which works especially well if you want to distinguish the maid of honor from the other attendants).

·         Your wedding cake can be gold or silver as well – it will surely add class and elegance to your rustic wedding!

·         You can have centerpieces made in the same style as the tiara mentioned above as well. White roses and golden roses will look stunning, but this works with wilder flowers and with twigs and branches as well (especially for the winter weddings).

If you want to have a wedding that brings together elegance and the beauty of nature as well, Flourtown Country Club is the place to be at! Come pay us a visit and you’ll be left in awe at the marvelous beauties surrounding our location!

Using Arbors at Your Wedding

Every part of your wedding needs some decor, and that includes your ceremony. One of the most popular choices for wedding ceremony decor is to use an arbor. These come in a variety of styles and can suit any wedding theme.

The more traditional styles of arbor will use flowers to create a frame for your ceremony. You and your fiance will exchange vows under the arbor, or pass through it as part of the ceremony. This can allow you to use the same flower types as you are using in your bouquet or centerpieces.

Arbors can also be dramatic and modern, though. Metal arbors can be used to hold floral arrangements, candles, or as decorative pieces on their own. With different metallic tones available, you can convey rustic charm or glitz and glamor with your choice of arbor.

Along with being beautiful, a wedding arbor can also be a nod to tradition. Many cultures use arches and canopies in wedding ceremonies, and you can honor these traditions with your arbor.

The perfect arbor for your Pennsylvania wedding will reflect your wedding’s style and suit your venue. If you’re looking for a fantastic venue, check out what we offer at the Flourtown Country Club today!

Including Arbors in Your Wedding Venue

For anyone who’s planning their wedding day, it can really be helpful to carefully consider all options in terms of decorating the venue—whether you choose to have an outdoor or indoor wedding. Since the decoration of your ceremony and reception plays an important role in setting the mood, you will need to come up with some options so you can make your wedding an interesting place. One way you can achieve this is through a wedding arbor. 

Traditionally speaking, wedding arbors are designed as a rectangular structure made out of vinyl, wood, or metal. Depending on your chosen location, the material you use for the arbor will play an important role. For example, in an outdoor wedding, you will need to use a sturdy material for your arbor so that it does not fall down due to a strong wind. This is why most outdoor weddings make use of either wood or metal arbors.

On the other hand, you can use a vinyl arbor for an indoor wedding so that it will be lightweight and easy to set up. Other arbors are also available as an arch instead of the typical rectangular shape.

When it comes to designing the arbor, you can simply choose to decorate it according to the theme you have selected. Using materials like linens, flowers, beads, tulle, vines, and others, you can create a beautiful wedding arbor to use at your wedding day. When the event is over, you can still re-use the structure as a decorative piece in your garden at home.

Having an arbor at your wedding is a great way to make an entrance, especially if it is situated just near the entrance to the ceremony. Flourtown Country Club has a beautiful view for both outdoor and indoor wedding options. Give us a call so we can give you a tour of our facility. You’ll love it here!
