Rustic Wedding Centerpiece Ideas

Rustic wedding centerpiece ideas don’t have to be complicated or expensive. Use tree stumps, mason jars, or wooden boxes to create beautiful and simple centerpieces that will give your wedding a rustic feel.

Tree Stumps

Tree stump centerpieces are an easy DIY option for rustic weddings. Their natural look creates a sense of nature, and you can make sure that they fit your wedding’s theme by decorating them with flowers and greenery in unique ways. It’s important to note that tree stumps will have bark on them; if this isn’t something you want in your centerpiece, sand the top before decorating.

You’ll also want to figure out where you’ll be using your tree stump centerpieces before you start decorating them. If they’re going on tables beside food and drinks, consider painting the bark white so it doesn’t get stained or dirty when people touch it!
