DIY Rustic Wedding Centerpieces

If you are looking for DIY wedding centerpiece ideas for your fall wedding, consider replicating these. Emily from Once Wed created these fabulous rustic wedding centerpieces using both natural materials she gathered and inexpensive store bought items.

These rustic centerpieces would even work great as Thanksgiving centerpieces!

I love that these look really elegant but are made up of just a few inexpensive elements. This makes them great rustic wedding centerpieces for DIY weddings.

Also, since they don't require any fresh flowers, you can make them well in advance of your big day. This is a major plus! I once designed flowers for a large wedding (in addition to being the Maid of Honor) and it was such a stressful last minute race to get them all done. (If you're curious, see the wedding here.)
