The countryside often has a rustic meets vintage feel that you can easily mirror in your wedding style. Food undoubtedly enters our eyes and a wedding candy table is a must if you are planning a countryside wedding. It has a very rustic vibe. Try glass jars, baskets, wooden containers to create overlays. The best trick is to place the tallest jars on the back of the table and leave what we want to highlight in the middle.
Bring In The Greenery

Nothing is more beautiful than having nature as the background of your wedding. Infuse greenery and flowers plucked straight from the hills in a beautiful backdrop like this one. Or use a combo of brown-green-white to have all the feels of countryside charm. Use locally sourced blooms and greens to elevate the natural setting or just let nature do its wonder.
