We absolutely adore this time of year. The evenings are getting longer, the days, brighter and the temperature is finally starting to pick up. Yes, we are still cautiously bringing our umbrella and gloves with us, and we all know even if you pick a wedding day in the middle of the summer, you can’t always be guaranteed sunshine, let alone at this stage in the year, but we can dream. Because, weather permitting, we adore the thoughts of an authentically rustic outdoor wedding.
We love the idea of a rustic outdoor wedding, especially given that Ireland is one of the greenest and most beautiful landscapes, perfect for outdoor weddings, especially if you do get the weather for it.
Think farmland landscapes and lush green fields for your backdrop. If you’re going outside for the whole occasion, think rich wooden chairs, benches and signage and rustic burlap decorations.
You don’t have to stop there either. Give your stationery, table numbers, your flowers and even your bridesmaids a rustic, countryside look with some natural greenery.
A rustic wedding is the perfect thing to consider for this time of year even later into the summer when the weather keeps getting warmer. You might even be able to have the whole affair outside, especially now that it is legally possible to get married outside in Ireland. And there are plenty of stunning venues that can accommodate your dream rustic, outdoor wedding. Check out our top five outdoor wedding venues here.
