If you are planning a country or barn wedding, you need a wedding dress that screams rustic chic, not expensive boutique. The perfect rustic wedding dress will blend country romance with a dash of boho princess. Pick your perfect outfit by following these rules.

Look Lovely In Lace
Lace combines all the elements needed for the perfect rustic wedding dress. It combines floral shapes, with a sheer lightweight fabric. The fabric is so versatile, that provided you opt for a warm cream tone, and dress shape that flatters you, you can't really go wrong. For maximum romance choose a chantilly lace, or for a floaty fairytale finish choose a lightweight tulle. To combine modern styling with a vintage country look, a traditional strapless corset dress can be trimmed with a lace overlay and lace capped sleeves, which adds a degree of modesty typically found in country-style dresses.

Natural Earthy Tones
For a nature-inspired wedding choose earthy tones for your dress or accessories. Colours need to be selected with great care. While soft peaches and blushing pinks create a relaxed, romantic look, they don't work with every skin tone and can make brides with paler complexions look washed out. If white or cream is your preferred dress colour, consider adding a simple coffee coloured satin ribbon to the waist, or pale pastel fabric roses around the skirt.

Load Up With Layers
If you hanker after a traditional wedding day meringue, create a layered look with sheer fabrics. Classic wedding dresses lay an opaque fabric over a netting underskirt to create volume. You can get the same puffy style, with a gentler, more romantic finish by layering a semi-transparent fabric like tulle, chiffon or organza. For added glamour consider using different shades of the same colour fabric for each layer, or decorating the top layer with fabric embellishments like chiffon roses, or silk bows.

Maximum Boho Chic
If you are having a boho wedding, or festival inspired celebration, choose a maxi dress. Your outfit could use multiple layers and fabric textures to add glamour and visual impact, or stick with one fabric and use as much of it as you possibly can while retaining the capacity to stand up.

Finishing Touches
Rustic wedding dress adornments should add depth and texture rather than sparkle and luxury. Fabric roses, tiny bows or even a simple hessian sash will all add a new dimension to your ensemble. Steer clear of too many crystals, silver, and if you're adding in a statement jewellery piece, make sure that it reflects your personal style and choice of dress. Choose pearls over diamonds for a classic, vintage look.

Choose What You Love
If you are planning a rustic wedding, chances are you have a fairly solid sense of style, and a love of romantic dresses. Trust your instincts and buy a dress you love, whether it's a 'proper' wedding dress or not. Some of the most beautiful rustic wedding dresses, aren't really wedding dresses at all.

A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day I heard about the DR.
