We all know about the standard things– plenty of flowers, balloons and other small decorative pieces. Yes, it’s not a wedding without all of these, but some couples actually go for more natural materials and decorations like tree branches and wooden wedding invitations and rings. Here is a Melbourne rustic wedding of one of the members of Paul’s Removal Services that draw inspriaton from nature and mainly from wood and trees. Here are the elements they used:

Wooden Wedding Invitations. Imagine a flat piece of wood and your names engraved in it. You can shape it and paint it however you like. The carpenter of your choice will help you design it. It is fairly easy to make yourself if you are crafty and have the tools needed. It is a cool and original idea, because we know that love grows and becomes stronger with the years. Just like a tree. A wooden invitation not only will help you imply that, but will be preserved for much longer. Hopefully, like your love. Wooden weddings will also last longer and will not wear that easily.

Wooden Wedding Arches. You have always dreamed for a wedding outside, during a warm sunny day. You are walking down the aisle and approaching your husband-to-be. It is amazing, how much freedom you have when designing and building-up your romantic arch.

Wooden Wedding Rings. Some couples go even further by designing their own wooden wedding rings. They are eco-friendly, just as pretty and very unorthodox. If you want to surprise everyone at your wedding, this is the way to go.

Wooden Wedding Souvenirs for Guests. Some couples decide to make their wedding souvenirs themselves. A little handmade something can leave a lasting impression and show a personal touch. However, not all couples are that handy. My creations will probably look like something made by a 5 year-old. For that reason you might go with your ideas to a professionalist, or you are crafty enough you can make your handmade little wooden figures. Doves, hearts, rings are just some of the examples to sparkle your inspiration. You can go for whatever symbolyzes your relationship best!

So, if you think you’ve seen it all at other people’s weddings you probably haven’t seen this yet. Give freedom to your imagination, express yourself and make your special day even more memorable.
