Nature loving brides will fall in love with the forest themed wedding trend. Any couple planning a woodland wedding will soon discover that their event can be created as a rustic wedding, with simple natural elements, like greenery and neutral colors, or can turn enchanting and whimsical, like a midsummer night’s dream, just by adding stunning elements themed on the dazzling beauty of nature. This gorgeous woodland forest wedding has high impact design elements that are affordable and easy to create. Ready to get inspired for your own gorgeous woodland wedding? Come and take a walk through the woods.
A Palette Based on Nature The forest wedding trend focuses on woodland colors, those found in nature, and relies heavily on greenery. Flowers can bring in a gorgeous dose of color, but should be limited to deep rich tones, rather than bright or bold colors. We selected deep coral and burnt orange roses, along with moody maroon flowers, offset by crisp white hydrangeas. They're laid across a stunning tablescape on a moss table runner, piled high with Natural Moss, Large Wood Slices, branches, Moss Balls, and Mercury Glass Votive Holders. The mini copper lanterns filled with moss and orb shaped fairy lights further echo the theme and are enchanting for an evening wedding in this foresty theme. 
Handmade Elements Enhance Today's wedding trends are filled with ways to personalize your big day, from unique wedding favors to personalized escort cards like these. These Forest Themed Placecards are created from forest art cards, and hand lettered in calligraphy with a gilded paint pen. While the technique is simple, as you can see, in a woodland setting, these escort cards take on a natural magic. 
Whimsy and Light in the Woods Brides considering a bohemian style wedding in the woods or forest might be concerned about the lack of access to electricity, but this can easily be addressed by employing battery operated lighting solutions like this easy DIY Forest Chandelier. The warm white LED lights twinkle like fireflies in the evening sky, and within each carefully suspended glass globe resides a small cluster of orb shaped fairy lights. They sparkle and add a romantic ambience that rivals even candlelight, or starlight. 
The Beauty of Nature Speaks for Itself Wedding favors for a forest wedding are quite simple to achieve, and can be very affordable to make on your own. Chocolate Dipped Pecan Shortbread with Edible Flowers is one inexpensive wedding favor that requires no cooking or refrigeration. Edible flowers are a charming surprise that guests of a woodland wedding are sure to find utterly charming. 
Surround Yourself in Nature and Love A forest themed wedding in the woods is the perfect way for nature loving couples to celebrate their love with family and friends. Our sweetheart table features romantic elements like candlelight, glowing lanterns, fresh flowers and whimsical moss. A rustic frosted cake topped with a simple spray of flowers and adorned with greenery, and a bottle of champagne is practically all you need to create a stunning wedding in the woods.
