DIY Rustic Wedding Accessories

by Rustic Crafts & Chic Decor - Renee

Over the weekend we celebrated my oldest daughter's wedding. Her reception was quite rustic and I made all of the decorations for it. She didn't want too much fluff so I was limited....dang! But I was able to get a few fun things in. Luckily I have another daughter getting married in October!

Wonderful idea with the old suitcase! The advice box of hearts, etc. All that's needed for the complete wedding ensemble is the tin cans on strings...
