Simple Rustic Floral Wedding Centerpieces

To be honest, people sometimes overthink their weddings. Yes, you want it to be beautiful and perfect. But that doesn't mean you can't have simple decor. It doesn't have to be over the top with doves flying around. Sometimes, best is something like theses Simple Rustic Floral Wedding Centerpieces.

They were the centerpieces at a festival we were at recently, and I thought they would be perfect for a rustic wedding.

The festival was at a park, and we actually had our rehearsal dinner at a park, so a park is super special wedding location (to me anyway).

For a park, you want some nice decor but also stuff that can hold up to the outdoor elements. Wind, rain, sun ... it all needs to be taken into account when you're planning your decor.

That's why these centerpieces are great. They're inexpensive and work well for the outdoors.

Simple Rustic Floral Wedding Centerpieces

What You'll Need:

• Flowers
• Flower vase
• Burlap table runner
• Gingham tablecloth
• Scissors

What You'll Do:

Lay the gingham tablecloth out on the table.

Measure the burlap table runner the length of the table, plus a bit of overhang on both sides, and cut it.

Fill the flower vase with water, then add the bouquet.

That's it.

If gingham is a little too picnic-y for your style, you can choose a solid color tablecloth instead. I highly suggest you sticking with vinyl or plastic disposable ones, though, so you can just toss them after the reception.

Wedding Signs For Flower Girls & Ring Bearers To Carry

Before you go ahead and order flower petals for your flower girl to toss as she skips down the aisle, check with your venue to make sure that's actually allowed.

Our church said it was a no go. That was fine for us because we actually didn't have a flower girl, but it was the first time I heard something like that. The priest said that they don't have anyone who was responsible for cleaning up the petals after the ceremony, so they just don't let you have them.

No worries. There are alternatives. I put together a list of super cute wedding signs for flower girls and ring bearers to carry. Yes, I included the ring bearers because, as you may remember from our ring bearer post, they don't actually carry the rings.

Wedding Signs For Flower Girls & Ring Bearers To Carry

1. Last Chance To Run Sign

2. Daddy, Here Comes Mommy Sign

3. Here Comes The Bride Banner Sign

4. Personalized Here Comes The Bride Banner Sign

5. Too Late To Run ... Here She Comes Sign

6. Here Comes The Bride Sign

7. Circle Monogram Sign

8. Custom Here Comes The Bride Sign

9. Happily Ever After Starts Here Sign

Last Chance To Run Sign

Weddings don't have to be so serious and rigid. They can be light and fun ... just like this Last Chance To Run sign. It's a really funny sign for a runaway groom. Plus it makes for some funny photos too.

Purchase here.

Daddy, Here Comes Mommy Sign

If you and your fiance already have kids, you definitely will get adorable photos if you get your child(ren) to carry this Daddy, here comes Mommy! sign. Our friends had their daughters carry something similar and I just thought it was the sweetest thing.

Purchase here.

Here Comes The Bride Banner Sign

This sign is fun because you have options. You can pick up a Here Comes The Bride sign ...

Personalized Here Comes The Bride Sign

... or you can get a personalized version with your names and wedding date. They're the same sign, but they come from different websites, depending on what you want. I would pick the non-personalized one because then you can lend it to a friend after.

Purchase the non-personalized one here or the personalized one here.

Too Late To Run ... Here She Comes Sign

Here's the other funny sign on the list: Too Late To Run ... Here She Comes! I can see this really working at a lot of weddings, especially ones where the bride was a little more forward about wanting to get married than the groom.

Purchase here.

Here Comes The Bride Sign

If your flower girl or ring bearer is small, pick up this Here Comes The Bride sign. Many of the reviews mention its petite size, so keep that in mind when you're looking at this tin sign. One reviewer mentioned that it fit perfectly on the wagon her flower girl was being pulled down the aisle in, so that should give you help with the sizing.

Purchase here.

Circle Monogram Sign

I really love this Circle Monogram sign. I didn't change my last name, so it drives me crazy when every monogram has a shared letter for your last name. I understand that's common, but it's not everyone. So this monogram, where you just put the first letter of each of your first names, has a special place in my heart.

Purchase here.

Custom Here Comes The Bride Sign

If you're having a pair of flower girls, a pair of ring bearers, or one of each, think about getting this Here Comes The Bride sign. You'll need one on each side to get this sign down the aisle. You can pick it up in a variety of colors, so you can have it match your wedding colors. Personally, though, I think black letters on a white background is the easiest to read though, so keep that in mind.

Purchase here.

Happily Ever After Starts Here Sign

I saved my favorite for last, this Happily Ever After Start Here sign. I saw it and it just stopped my heart. It's so true. Your wedding is when that chapter of your love story starts, so this is just a beautiful and perfect sentiment. Plus, this would be so cute for you to hold in your wedding photos after the ceremony is over.

Purchase here.
