28 Rustic Wedding Centerpieces That Will Inspire Your Own

If you're planning a rustic wedding in the countryside, chances are you want that theme to carry over onto your reception tables. Luckily, interpreting the rustic aesthetic with fresh flowers is as pretty as it gets. Earthy color palettes and unexpected accents, like fresh fruit and vegetables, all help transform floral table arrangements into rural-inspired pieces of décor that are sure to fit your vision—whether you're getting hitched in an actual barn or celebrating in the heart of a city.

Just take the following rustic wedding centerpieces, for example, which all brought pastoral vibes to tabletops. While no two arrangements are the same, we did notice some overarching motifs that you might want to pass onto your floral designer as you brainstorm your own tablescape's adornments. First up? Transitional foliage. While the rustic isn't always aligned with the autumnal—a rustic centerpiece can absolutely feature summer blooms!—fall shades, like burnt orange, yellow, and ruby red play right into the style. While keeping it all-green can still read as rustic. All you have to do is swap out pine or eucalyptus for colorful branches, instead.

But one of the most interesting on-theme accents has nothing to do with a centerpiece's floral components. Ultimately, the vessel you choose impacts the style of the arrangement just as much as the actual flowers. Ahead, you'll discover how different bases, like wooden urns, vintage enamel water jugs, tiny clear vases, and burnished bronze bowls, can all bring your tabletop displays to new, thoroughly rustic, heights. Click through to discover all of these bucolic centerpieces—they just might inspire your own.
