Rustic Wedding Table Decorations
First up, let’s take a look at rustic wedding table decor. When it comes to a rustic wedding theme, perfectly undone is the look. Natural materials, earthy tones and rough edges are all going to help you to achieve a rustic style.
1. Rustic Hessian
Hessian is a great, inexpensive fabric to choose. Use hessian as your table runners to add a rustic touch.

DIY & Budget Wedding Table Decor
If you are looking to keep to a smaller budget for your wedding tables, don’t worry! It’s totally possible to achieve a stunning look for less. Cut back on the number of flowers, bring elements from home, hire items and get your craft on to save. Shop second-hand and ask loved ones for help in sourcing bits and pieces too.
