Photo zone in rustic style? – options [2019] for a DIY wedding & photos

For a themed wedding, it is advisable, in addition to other details, to organize a photo zone in a rustic style to get interesting photos.

This can be done without the help of professionals - just select the details that suit the chosen style and arrange them in a harmonious composition. As a result, future newlyweds will save the family budget and at the same time receive unusual photographs that no one they know has had.

Why do you need a separate place?

At most weddings, all the photographs are of the same type - the newlyweds hold hands, kiss while shouting “Bitter!”, and in the evening they head towards the sunset. Previously, such photographs were truly original and romantic, but now they are considered banal at best. To stand out from the crowd of newlyweds languidly looking into each other’s eyes in photographs, a photo zone is organized.

This is a specially designed corner for a photo shoot, which is located not far from the banquet area, but not too close to it so that the tables do not fall into the frame. To isolate this sector from the rest of the space, wedding screens or other festive accessories are used. For example, if the celebration is held outdoors, you can hang fabrics on trees or even organize a small tent. Here are more ideas for decorating a photo zone.

A photo zone is also needed to highlight the chosen wedding style. When decorating a corner for a photo shoot, thematic details are used, with which you can take interesting photographs. If desired, the bride and groom can prepare additional props for photographs, for example, small bouquets of flowers decorated in the desired style, accessories for women's and men's looks, or themed treats.

In addition to the fact that the photo zone allows you to take interesting and vivid photographs, it also serves as a kind of entertainment for guests of all ages. At a wedding, you need to think about a variety of leisure activities - both active and calm, and a photo shoot refers specifically to the latter. Individual and group photos will occupy some guests for a long time, so you don’t have to worry about the atmosphere at the celebration.

The convenience of a photo zone is that everyone present at the wedding will be able to take photos on their own without distracting the photographer. The necessary atmosphere has already been created - all that remains is to sit against its background and ask someone you know to press the button on the camera or phone. As a result, each guest will go home with their own photographs, which they will not have to wait several months for from a professional photographer.

Interesting! Rustic style also makes excellent invitation cards and a beautiful wish book.

DIY design features

Europe is considered the ancestor of elegance and taste, so now many wedding traditions are borrowed from these countries. Rustic is the style of a French village, where a calm and measured life flows in harmony with nature.

A rustic photo zone indoors or outdoors stands out thanks to the simplicity of accessories, warm colors and natural materials. A celebration in this style does not look provocative and elegant, and its organization does not require large financial costs.

All the same principles apply to individual details for a celebration in a rustic style, including the photo zone. Instead of a screen, in this case you can use a fake wooden fence or even old, shabby doors.

If the celebration takes place outdoors, fabrics hung on trees and collected in the form of curtains will look cozy. A fence will fit harmoniously into the celebration, but there should be enough of it to create the feeling that the photographs were taken in a real village.

A photo zone for a wedding in a rustic style is made in warm shades - beige, brown, cream. It is better not to use pure white color - against the backdrop of a calm atmosphere it will look flashy. Bright accents can be created with the help of wild plants, but you need to know when to stop so as not to make the atmosphere colorful. There should be a lot of living and artificial greenery to emphasize unity with nature.

Groom's clothes

Groom image

As for the rustic image of the groom , it could be as follows:

brown trousers made of linen or cotton without creases, slightly rolled up at the bottom;
black lace-up sports shoes;
white short sleeve shirt;
brown butterfly;
suspenders to match the trousers;
brown cap.

Another clothing option is gray pants + white long sleeve shirt + brown belt. To this should be added a watch, a tie and a gray vest of the same color. It is better to choose cowboy shoes, in the form of rough lace-up boots, into which you will need to tuck your pants. Suitable headwear include a cowboy and gangster hat, bowler hat, farmer's cap, cap, pork pie, trilby, fedora.

Patent leather shoes with a pointed toe, top hats, caps, trousers with creases, tailcoats and jackets will not fit into the framework of a rustic wedding. They are more suitable for "shabby chic".

The final touch is a boutonniere, which can be made from dandelions or chamomile. No need to use glamorous roses. You can add sprigs of rowan, lilac and “bells” to the composition.

What elements can be used

A rustic wedding photo zone will look interesting if you use the following decorative elements:

wildflowers, cereal ears, sunflowers;
haystacks;
real or fake wooden carts, wheels, spinning wheels;
tree cuts, massive stumps;
hanging swing made of board and rope;
wicker baskets with gifts of nature - fruits, berries, vegetables or mushrooms;
old wooden windows;
balls of thread;
bags of apples;
garden figurines of gnomes or rabbits;
candles in candlesticks and without them;
paper garlands and lanterns;
wooden boxes stacked on top of each other in the form of shelves;
LED garlands with warm yellow light.

It is advisable to install a wooden table with two chairs in the photo zone. It can be left in its natural state or covered with a tablecloth made of linen, cotton or burlap. Lace suits the rustic style well, so it is also used to decorate furniture. The table is set with a tea set, an antique lantern, a vintage alarm clock and candles. If desired, you can choose a different theme for decorating a photo zone in a rustic style.

The photo above is a good example of decor. You can also decorate it in the form of a book. It will turn out no less attractive.

Comparison

The following flowers are used to create bouquets for a photo shoot:

chamomile;
cornflowers;
bells;
lilies of the valley;
snowdrops;
sunflowers;
asters;
anemones;
craspedia;
chrysanthemums.

Pastel shades of pink, blue, peach and lilac in the design of the photo zone will make it ideal for vintage, retro or shabby chic themes. A classic wedding can also be decorated with a similar corner for a photo shoot if it takes place outdoors in a modest atmosphere with the closest people.

If you want to make bouquets of classic wedding flowers, then it is better to use small peonies, eustomas or spray roses in pastel shades. You can add cereal ears, twigs with berries, or even succulents to the composition, made in a deliberately careless manner. It is better to tie bouquets with lace braid or regular twine.

Additional Tips

A photo zone in a rustic style can be designed not only in the form of a tea party against the backdrop of a screen. For example, details characteristic of the theme can be placed on a blanket laid on the ground, simulating a picnic. In this case, ribbons, fabrics, bouquets, candles, antique lanterns and other attributes are hung on the trees to complement the romantic surroundings.

Interesting! Consider other options for decorating the area for a photo shoot. For example, in Provence style or Marsala color.

Instead of furniture, you can use original ideas. For example, a table can be replaced by a cable reel, chairs can be replaced by a kind of sofa made of hay and straw. Future newlyweds can get creative and build suitable furniture in a rustic style from ordinary wooden boxes.

To organize a touching, romantic atmosphere in a rustic country style, nature on the river bank, a stylish wooden cottage with an elegant entrance staircase and a spacious veranda are ideal.

A modern wedding in a rural style involves the use of natural materials and antiques. A massive white door decorated with roses, nearby boxes as stands for flower bouquets, lace fabric, carelessly spread burlap on an antique sewing machine - an ideal composition that allows you to create a natural ambiance of a green area for a photo shoot.

The general concept of thematic design is complemented by a wooden staircase leading to the veranda, along which flower arrangements are placed on wooden boxes. The seating plan for guests in the form of numbered cards with names, decorated like a landscape painting on an easel, gives a vintage feel to the interior.

On the veranda, guests and newlyweds will be greeted by a romantic corner with large white candles in transparent flasks on wooden rectangular stands, a neat table covered with burlap and lace material. Wooden window frames hung nearby, decorated with flowers, decorated bottles of champagne with candles on the table perfectly reflect the style of the celebration and can serve as a backdrop for photography.
