Your decor is one of the most noticeable aspects of your wedding because it creates an atmosphere, an experience, and sets the tone for your big day! Your guests will notice the details, as they cohesively blend throughout your wedding.
We are loving the current use of rugs as a big foundation to your wedding day design. Rugs bring warmth to a large, open space, outside. They bring color and texture to an industrial space. They provide a foundation to a woodland wedding setting; any ceremony site looks spectacular with a large, beautiful rug.
Rugs liven a space, whether you're having an indoor or an outdoor wedding; they add that something extra to the aesthetic of your design. Think about the rugs you choose to warm your living spaces at home. They may be colorful or muted, they may be large or small, but they are the elements that tie the room together and make it the room you enjoy spending much of your time in. Read on for some of our favorite ways to include rugs in your wedding day design and decor.
Boho Wedding Inspiration:
Choose rugs that are colorful, eclectic, or mix and match colors to create a walking path, your aisle, and designate your ceremony area. Be sure to choose colors that work well together. Boho-inspired weddings are so popular right now, allowing you to be less formal, while including muted florals in orange, tan, ivory, blush, peach, and rust! Add a touch of teal or blue, and you've created a beautiful color palette to weave throughout your big day.
Backyard Beauties:
There's not a more perfect location to add rugs than to your backyard wedding. Whether a few layered together, or one at your ceremony site, repurposed to a lounge seating area, you're sure to realize the thoughtfulness that has gone into creating a cozy lounge while including rugs.
City/Industrial Sleek:
In many industrial spaces, you're working with plain walls and sparse accessories. We love how a single rug can totally change the feel of the space to create that eye-catching dynamic, and bring the guests focus to the couple and the wedding party! Your intimate ceremony becomes one of understated elegance with a few simple decor pieces such as cylinders holding pillar candles, or encircling the couple with lots of brass candleholders. Using a simple backdrop is key to a cohesive industrial look, and we suggest a copper arbor, industrial grates woven with florals, stand-alone florals, or architectural salvage in the form of doors, pillars, vintage columns, or a moon-gate arch.
Following the ceremony, the site became a sweetheart seating area for the grooms while speeches and family photos took place. Vintage lighting, the copper arbor, seating, gold side table, and the vintage Aubusson rug all were chosen specifically for this after-ceremony celebration from our vast collection.
Intimate Elopement:
Using an aisle rug for your simple elopement ceremony bring color to the room, defines the aisle, and is a simple way to complete your design inspiration.
Wedding in the Pines:
A very intimate wedding in the pine trees is the perfect elopement-styled celebration to bring color and warmth to the outdoor, woodsy setting. Give the floor of the pine forest a colorful foundation, bringing your eye directly to the couple celebrating their big day.
Elegant Barn Wedding:
Who doesn't love a romantic barn wedding, where a few rug runners bring some pretty color to the aisle, and another oval beauty at the ceremony site! We love these soft pastels in the light-filled luxury barn venue, Providence Vineyard, in Hebron, IL.
Rustic Barn Wedding:
A beautiful lounge seating area overlooking the lawn and reception space was the perfect area for family photos, bride and groom photos, and a place to spend a few quiet moments together with friends and family.
Outdoor Mansion Wedding:
Using rugs as the foundation piece for your sweetheart table package is a great way to incorporate color and warmth to your seating area.
Intimate Outdoor Mansion Elopement:
With a handful of guests, and a gorgeous backdrop, our couple chose a rug for their ceremony area, along with additional decor to complete their Boho inspiration.
Indoor Lounge Seating:
Create an inviting spot for guests to gather near the dance floor, or near the bar! Everyone gravitates to a cozy lounge area, and adding a rug just warms up the space even more. Using like colors and styles is key to make the look cohesive with the rest of your decor.
No matter where you choose to celebrate, whether indoors or out, in a rustic venue or a sleek-industrial site, a backyard celebration or at the beach, the addition of a rug at your ceremony site, along the aisle, at your sweetheart table, or lounge seating area, brings a warm invitation to your guests, and anchors the setting with colors and texture to match your aesthetic.
