Farmhouse weddings celebrate rustic warmth, natural materials and handmade detail, which makes them perfect for DIY. These 15 easy DIY farmhouse wedding decoration ideas use affordable supplies such as mason jars, timber, burlap and wildflowers, with tips on preparing them ahead so the day itself runs smoothly.
| Item | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Months ahead | Wooden signs and seating charts |
| Weeks ahead | Jar lanterns and table numbers |
| Days ahead | Burlap runners and bunting |
| Day before | Fresh flower arrangements |
