Mason jars filled with candles on top of a table covered in burlap and lace. The guests are seated on hay bails, and Old Crow Medicine Show’s “Wagon Wheel” is playing as your guests are enjoying their dinner. It feels like a moment borrowed from a simpler, more intimate time. Globe lights are strung overhead and vintage typewriters, suitcases, and dressers line the barn. 150 of your closest friends are gathered to celebrate the best day of your life, and everything is perfect.
This is a rustic wedding. And if you are planning a rustic wedding, you know that the vintage/country decor is only half of the equation.
The music is crucial.
The reason? If you want to create the perfect mood at your rustic wedding, you need the perfect songs.
We have created an entire wedding playlist for your rustic wedding. We are confident that you will find some gems in here that inspire you as you plan your rustic wedding. Feel free to use all of them as you like.
