Ranches can be awesome venues for weddings, such a venue guarantees that you’ll get a cozy and sweet rustic space for the ceremony and reception, close to nature and maybe even with cute animals like horses. Choose a ranch that you like and decide if you go for an elegant wedding or a cozy and sweet rustic one. Let’s see some of the coolest ideas to incorporate into your ranch wedding.
Ranch Wedding Ceremony Space
Ranch weddings usually have outdoor ceremony spaces – somewhere in the fields or hills nearby. Rock a gorgeous wooden wedding arch with greenery, flowers and candles, and as for fabric, we’d recommend burlap. Make doors that lead to the aisle and decorate them with wreaths, greenery and garlands, cotton and candles. There are even amazing arched wedding aisles that stand out, ask your vendors for such a piece. Keep the whole decor sweet, simple and rustic, with buckets, burlap and baby’s breath, embrace your space!
Use rustic doors, leaves and greenery for the welcome doors and there can be nothing better than a naturally beautiful backdrop.
Ranch Wedding Reception
Create a gorgeous wedding reception outside if the weather allows. Incorporate cute rustic details: burnt wood slice table numbers, lace and burlap, greenery and simple wildflowers or just colorful rustic flowers. Opt for many candles, mason jars, birch bark, faux cow skins and whatever else fits your wedding style. If it’s chilly, opt for a wedding reception in a barn and take the advantage of the space: there are often hearths and fireplaces, which will add coziness to your reception. If you want a super elegant wedding, opt for ethereal fabrics, greenery and neutral blooms and forget about burlap and buckets for centerpieces.

Embracing The Venue And Style
Embrace your wedding venue and style with a couple of touches in your wedding looks, for example, wearing cowboy hats by the groom and groomsmen or the bride. One more idea is rocking cowboy boots – wear them yourself or offer them to your flowers girls; as for hairstyles, there’s nothing more rustic than braids of any kind, so choose what you love. Take the advantage of your venue – if there are some gorgeous horses, take them for a walk with you. Get more ideas below!
