Produce
If you're getting married on a farm, an abundant bouquet featuring fruits and veggies can add to the rustic, natural theme. This arrangement features artichokes, cabbage, and berries, but you can add your favorite produce, too—just make sure they're hardy enough not to wilt or rot!

Branches
Twigs and branches lend a natural, yet modern and architectural vibe to a rustic bouquet.
