Weddings

Weddings are the area in which we are seeing the Rustic trend flourish most.

Rustic wedding locations are on the rise- barns, tipis and marquees are the most in demand venues and have soared in popularity since 2018. These venues all have nature in common, with couples wanting to incorporate the outdoors into their big day. The earthy tones of rustic furniture compliments this theming beautifully.

Parties

Where else to insert the homely connotations of a rustic theme, than when celebrating with your nearest and dearest. A welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, will invite your guests to let their hair down, and this timeless theme will appeal to all ages. Rustic furniture is famously sturdy in design, and is therefore suitable for both indoor and outdoor events in a multitude of venues.

Festival

When better to incorporate a theme famous for its use of durable materials, than when your event is going to be attended by thousands of people? This is a time when your furniture is going to be in constant use, and a no-fuss approach is needed. Rustic furniture pieces are the hard-wearing option that you need, but they also don’t compromise on appearance, and exude a bohemian vibe.

Combine a fire pit, sleeper benches, lanterns and some soft furnishings. Form an orderly queuing system around your entrance with some Rustic Rope and Post that doesn’t look uninviting.

Corporate Events

Using simple and minimalistic furniture is stylish, and a great way to let your event venue do all of the talking.  In the case of corporate events, the earthy and neutral tones of rustic furniture will allow your brand messaging to stand out, creating contrast and impact, and escaping the cold and clinical feel that many corporate venues impose. Incorporating some rustic theming into your next product launch, sales meeting or trade show will also help to give your brand some character. The word ‘rustic’ is synonymous with the countryside, and this is a great way to help you achieve the ‘Cotswold aesthetic’ that is currently very in demand.
