A rustic theme for your wedding gives you the opportunity to add a lot of beautiful touches to your event, and the theme is ideal for brides and grooms who want a unique wedding venue. If you're considering a rustic theme, here are a few unique wedding venues to consider for your nuptials.

Country Farm

Some farms rent out their barns and a portion of their outdoor space for weddings. This type of venue provides a bit of flexibility when it comes to wedding planning, as you can use the outdoor space to hold your ceremony, host an outdoor picnic reception, or hold a photo shoot for your wedding party. The farm's barn, if available for rent, can serve as a rustic yet slightly more formal place to host your reception, and it provides shelter should the weather be less than ideal on your wedding day. Some fun additional touches to this type of venue would be to arrange for hayrides for guests and a horse-drawn carriage or buggy for the bride and groom.

Campground

If you and your future spouse are outdoorsy types, you might want to opt out of a formal wedding and go for something a little bit more comfortable for you. Consider hosting your wedding at a campground, and work with your wedding planner to make sure the venue can support everything you want to do for your big day. You can have a simple rustic wedding in a clearing in the woods followed by a picnic, or you can hold your reception on the bank of a nearby river or stream for a beautiful backdrop. If you want to provide your guests with access to more modern amenities, look into renting the campground's dining hall for the dinner reception.

Hunting Lodge

Hunting lodges combine beautiful rustic elements with a touch of modern comforts. If you want to host an outdoor wedding but still give your guests an indoor reception, a hunting lodge may be the right option for you. These buildings are often crafted to resemble grand cabins, and they sometimes have large dining halls, which can be rented out for your reception. For the ceremony, locate a spot outdoors that is perfect for you and your future spouse, and be sure to make arrangements to use the interior of the lodge as a backup ceremony location in the event of bad weather. If the hunting lodge also has a connected hotel, consider reserving a block of rooms there for your guests to stay the weekend and enjoy all the amenities the hunting lodge has to offer.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to choosing a venue for your rustic wedding. Consider looking for an outdoor venue like DEER MOUNTAIN EVENTS with potential access to an indoor facility so you can have the wedding you want while giving your guests access to a few modern comforts.
