Rustic wedding venues have become more popular in the last few years as more outdoorsy couples seek a venue that reflects their interests and values.
Even if you’re not the most avid hiker or bird-watcher, rustic venues often offer picturesque scenery that is perfect for photo opportunities. Additionally, you can keep the décor simple with wood accents and natural Earth tones.
