In the heart of nature, where landscapes become the perfect backdrop and tranquility embraces every moment, rural weddings emerge as an idyllic option for couples dreaming of a unique and memorable union.
At UAUU, we are experts in transforming these dreams into reality, orchestrating celebrations that capture the essence of authenticity and the elegance of the countryside. If you are looking for a wedding that speaks of you, your story, and your love for nature, a rural wedding is, undoubtedly, your choice.
Why is a rural wedding the perfect choice?
Opting for a rural setting to celebrate your marriage is much more than a trend; it is a philosophy that embraces the beauty of simplicity and the richness of nature. The advantages are countless and result in an unparalleled bridal experience:
An unbeatable natural setting
Imagine saying “I do” under a canopy of trees, with the gentle murmur of the wind as a soundtrack and the aroma of wild flowers. The country estates, farmhouses, and rural houses for weddings offer landscapes that adapt to any style, from the most rustic to the most chic, providing a natural canvas that needs no great artifice to dazzle.
Guaranteed intimacy and exclusivity
Unlike conventional event halls, many rural spaces allow exclusive rental, ensuring that your day is truly yours. This fosters a more relaxed and personal atmosphere, where every guest feels part of an intimate and special celebration. Privacy is a luxury that rural weddings offer generously.
Unlimited creative freedom
The versatility of rural environments is one of their greatest strengths. You can design every corner to your liking, from the table arrangements to the choice of spaces for the ceremony, cocktail, and banquet. This freedom allows your personality and your love story to be reflected in every detail, creating a wedding that is authentically yours.
A weekend-long experience
Many rural estates offer accommodation for guests, transforming the wedding into an extended celebration. This not only facilitates logistics for those coming from afar but also allows for more quality time with your loved ones, creating memories that go beyond the wedding day.
A farewell brunch or a welcome dinner can be the perfect end to an unforgettable weekend.
Rural wedding decor: blending rustic with elegance
Decorating a rural wedding is an art that consists of enhancing the natural beauty of the surroundings, adding touches of sophistication that elevate the atmosphere. The key lies in the harmony between the organic and the refined. Here’s how to achieve it:
Natural materials: the essence of the countryside
Wood, wicker, linen, cotton, and rope are your best allies. Use bare wooden tables, country-style chairs, woven baskets with wild flowers, and soft-textured fabrics. These elements not only provide warmth but also integrate the celebration with the surrounding landscape, creating a sense of continuity and naturalness.
Color palette: harmony with the environment
Opt for a color palette inspired by nature: beiges, olive greens, off-whites, earthy tones, and mustards. These colors create a serene and welcoming atmosphere. To add a touch of contrast and depth, you can incorporate accents in garnet, indigo blue, or even subtle golds, always maintaining coherence with the rustic chic style.
Lighting: creating magical atmospheres
Light is a transformative element. As evening falls, warm string lights, hanging lanterns, candles in glass jars, and small light points strategically placed among the trees will create an intimate and magical atmosphere. Adequate lighting can turn an outdoor space into a fairy tale, perfect for dancing and the night celebration.
Personalized details: the soul of your wedding
Rural weddings are the ideal setting for craftsmanship and handmade details. From a seating plan designed on an old blackboard or a wooden pallet, to centerpieces with recycled bottles and seasonal flowers or jute napkin rings. Every small, carefully chosen detail adds a personal and emotional touch that your guests will remember.
Special corners for rural weddings that will enchant your guests
Creating unique and functional spaces is essential for your guests to fully enjoy and feel comfortable throughout the celebration:
Chill Out Zone
A corner with wicker sofas, natural fiber rugs, plush cushions, and wooden side tables invites conversation and relaxation. You can complement it with an artisanal cocktail bar or a vermouth station, offering a relaxed space for enjoyment.
Natural and creative photocall
Take advantage of the surroundings to design a photocall that integrates with the landscape. Wooden structures adorned with wild flowers, a vintage swing, an old bicycle, or even a restored tractor can be original elements that serve as a backdrop for unforgettable photographs. The natural beauty of the countryside will be your best ally.
Charming welcome area
Welcome your guests with a warm and personalized message. A wooden sign with your names and the date, an arrow indicating the way to the ceremony, or a blackboard with the day’s program are not only practical but also set the tone for the celebration from the very beginning.
Practical tips for impeccable planning
Organizing rural weddings, though magical, requires meticulous planning. At uauu.cat, we accompany you every step of the way, but here are some key tips to ensure the success of your rural weddings:
- Integration with the environment: instead of trying to transform the space, adapt your decor to the existing natural elements. An ancient tree can be the perfect altar, a stone wall, the ideal backdrop for the banquet. Nature is your best decorator.
- Stylistic coherence: maintain a clear and coherent visual line in all areas of the celebration. From stationery to floral arrangements, through furniture and lighting, everything should follow the same thread to create a harmonious experience.
- Communication with suppliers: fluid and detailed communication with florists, decorators, caterers, and, of course, your wedding planner (uauu.cat) is essential. Share your vision, your inspirations, and your budget so that everyone works in sync.
- Less is more: the beauty of simplicity. The charm of a rural wedding lies in its authenticity and the beauty of nature. Avoid overloading decorative elements. Sometimes, a well-chosen detail has more impact than a profusion of ornaments.
- Local and seasonal gastronomy. Surprise your guests with a menu that pays homage to local gastronomy and seasonal products. A caterer who knows how to reinterpret traditional cuisine with a modern touch will be a sure hit. Think of themed food stations or a family-style banquet.
- Live music: the soul of the party. Live wedding music adds an unparalleled touch of warmth and personality. An acoustic duo during the cocktail, a soft jazz band for the banquet, or a folk group to liven up the after-dinner can create magical and memorable moments. And for the party, a DJ who knows how to keep the energy going until dawn.
