This beautiful rustic-chic wedding took place at Cypress Creek Event Venue in February 2020. While sticking to a classic rustic theme, the decor was all upgraded to give the feeling of being at a formal event, while being at a rustic barn in the rural Florida countryside! Key decor elements were: tall centerpieces with baby's breath floral, burlap and lace runners on round tables, long rustic farm tables, and crystal chandeliers!
1. Ceremony
A beautiful outdoor space is so important for a rustic wedding ceremony! This wedding took place at Cypress Creek Event Venue's Pristine Pond Background site. The backdrop of the timber bridge, pond and fountain make for a romantic setting. The custom wood arch and white wedding doors bring out the rustic aesthetic!

Hand painted wooden signs line the path to the ceremony. The large live oak trees provide the perfect amount of shade!
The ceremony aisle began with a set of white wooden double doors, with grapevine floral wreaths hanging from each door. In front of the doors were several wooden crates, decorated with simple baby's breath arrangements, small grapevine wreaths and pine cones!
The aisle was lined with wooden logs alternating with shepherd's hooks, both holding baby's breath floral. The rustic wooden benches gave the feeling of outdoor pews under the canopy of oak branches.
Cypress Creek Event Venue's custom ceremony arch was decorated with a center floral arrangement, a crystal chandelier and a white tulle drape. Along with the arch, the backdrop of the bride, fountain and pond make this ceremony feel straight out of a fairy tale!
2. Flowers
Cypress Creek Event Venue includes floral in both the all-inclusive and design-only package options. With a rustic-chic wedding, white floral with lots of eucalyptus greenery is perfect! You can go high-end like the upgraded floral, with silver dollar eucalyptus and garden roses, or you can keep it simpler like the casual afternoon package and opt for white hydrangeas and baby's breath!

The ceiling was decorated with Cypress Creek Event Venue's crystal chandeliers, white ceiling drapes, string lights, and hanging floral arrangements on grapevine wreaths. The barn's wooden trusses and backdrop provide the perfect level of rustic to offset the elegant decor items.
While the wooden farm tables were left bare, with the exception of the centerpieces and greenery, the round tables were draped with white linens and burlap and intersecting burlap and lace runners.
4. Centerpieces
Cypress Creek Event Venue's wooden farm tables were decorated with alternating centerpieces made up of baby's breath and hydrangeas. A tall vase containing large baby's breath arrangement sat centered at each farm table, with a burlap and lace ribbon around the glass vase. On each side of the tall centerpiece was a shorter centerpiece made up of three hydrangea arrangements of various heights, sitting atop a wood slice. Between the centerpieces was a greenery runner, made up of seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus. Silver votive candles and geometric candle holders provided the final accent to the farm table decor.
The round tables' centerpieces consisted on a tall baby's breath arrangement in a glass vase, surrounded by hydrangea arrangements of various heights. Small wooden logs provided a rustic touch and elevated some of the vases. A greenery ring made up of seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus surrounded the arrangements and a geometric candle holder provided the final touch!
5. Food and Cake
Instead of a full dinner, the couple opted for a grazing table with a few larger entrees.
A three tiered cake with semi-naked icing was the perfect desert option for this rustic-chic wedding! Sat atop a barrel table, with wooden crates as the cake stand, the cake table was decorated with a hand-painted sign and the couple's initials. A curtain of fairy string lights and a sheer white drape created the ideal backdrop for this beautiful cake!
