18. Adopt a Rustic Attitude

Some people mistake attempting to transform their backyard wedding into something more exquisite while pretending that it isn't taking place in their parent's backyard. While making a backyard wedding glamorous, leaning into the rustic ambiance is sometimes a better strategy. When looking for wedding inspiration on Pinterest, use terms like country, rustic, or cottage wedding.

Most of the time, adopting a rustic aesthetic also entails significant cost savings. You can see in the photos that some of these people used slabs of wood as serving trays. Logs were also used as a makeshift holder for lovely candle arrangements. You may also have other rustic items on your property, such as pitchers and buckets. If not, you may quickly find them online or at stores like At Home or Home Goods.
