Outside of the big city, there are plenty of romantic places to have a rural wedding, but if you have your heart set on getting married in NYC, you still have great options to pick from. The first thing you'll need to do is decide on the location. Either find
rustic wedding venues in NYC that are already set up and decorated for rural weddings, or book a flexible event space or warehouse that you can transform into the perfect rustic setting with creative decorating ideas.
Keep things fairly simple and natural-looking, decorating with lots of greenery and flowers. Hang string lights from the ceiling or drape them along the walls to create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Line the aisle with burlap, or use it to create table runners. Take advantage of mason jars to decorate tables or stand as centerpieces with flowers and candles. Chalkboards are perfect for signs or seating charts, and wooden signs can add a personal touch to the venue.
With the right decorations, you can create the perfect rustic atmosphere to turn any space into a farm wedding venue. Alternatively, to replicate the atmosphere of a farm with less effort, choose an
outdoor venue set in a green space like Central Park, Prospect Park, or Wave Hill, which all provide a stunning backdrop for your big day.
