Are you looking for an effortless way to add in a hint of rustic charm or countryside simplicity to your reception décor? Start with choosing themed table numbers!

For a beautiful, rustic inspired wedding, using materials found in nature wherever possible is key to the outdoorsy and down-to-earth 'feel' of your special day. 

Almost any venue can lend itself to the rustic theme, don't be fooled into thinking that you must get married in a completely natural setting to bring in natural elements - Even the dressiest of venues can be humbled slightly simply by using a rustic and creative table number. Take a look at our suggestions on how to bring natural beauty to your reception.

Wood Slice Table Numbers

Wood brings so much warmth to a table – pairing these with green glass jars filled with fresh herbs (such as lavender) or flowers will really bring some freshness to your wedding reception. These natural wooden trunk slices, on which numbers are engraved rather than hand-burned, add a down-to-earth and natural, yet elegant feature to your tables.

Wagtail Silhouette Table Numbers

 These colour customisable British wagtail shaped table numbers are perfect for adding a natural touch to your wedding décor. Precision cut by laser, these little guys nest amongst your centrepiece for truly unique table numbers that your guests will love.

Bird Named Reception Tables

Naming your tables after British Birds is a creative way to bring a little natural charm to your tables.
British Garden Birds in particular are beautifully dainty and well-loved by all.

Ideas for 10 guest tables:

• Robin
• Nightingale
• Wagtail
• Greenfinch
• Bluetit
• Goldfinch
• Nuthatch
• Chaffinch
• Wren
• Song-thrush

and for the childrens table, how about naming it 'Baby Birds' or 'Fledglings'? How sweet!

A fantastic bird top table name is 'Turtle Dove', (a dainty and beautiful dove with chestnut coloured mottled wings and a gentle 'coo' that is evocative of summer days!)

Chalkboard Table Numbers

Easy to DIY, chalkboard table number signs really bring a relaxed and homely vibe to the Wedding reception. Use your own handwriting or borrow a relative (a Grandma with beautiful cursive handwriting would be perfect!) to write out the numbers in chalkboard ink to add a personal homely touch.
Do you have kids? Get them to write out the numbers in their own handwriting for real adorability! 
Natural wildflower floral centrepieces are a great pairing to complete the rustic vibe.

Create Your Own Table Numbers with Creative Fonts

Using font websites (we found this gorgeous one on Fontspace.com), print your own table number cards using your home printer and the perfect wood carving style font. Handmade, kraft or textured card would really compliment this font - just remember to use paper or card over 220GSM or your table number cards will not stay upright!
