Burlap – Use Burlap. It fits the rustic theme and looks beautiful. Decorate chairs with burlap and lace (example here)
Use the burlap to make your own banner décor. I love this “fall in Love” Banner. You can use burlap and lace strips to decorate. There are also great burlap and lace garland strands you can get that are gorgeous. save on flowers by making your bouquets out of burlap and lace, and this idea to bring lights and burlap together would be great for decorating your cake table, welcome table, and gift table!
You can use simple tablecloths to cover your tables and then make your own burlap table runners. Paint your names, table numbers, wedding dates, etc on them.

Cheap Wedding Reception Ideas
Skip the Alcohol – If the weather is cool skip the alcohol and have a hot chocolate bar. Alcohol is one of the most expensive parts of a wedding and even having a bar option where guests pay for their own carries a fee that can be saved by doing a hot chocolate bar.
Make the Favors – If you have a smaller guest list (and if you are looking to save money you really should) then consider making your own wedding favors.

Make a picture frame from twigs and decorate it with acorns (another twig idea is this Easy Twig Letter Decor). You can also take a picture frame and make a picture frame from acorns. Both these ideas can then be painted to match any décor.
Pumpkins – Don’t leave out the pumpkins! From big to small they have many uses, use small ones for table markers, use big ones to line the aisle then move to a table for centerpieces to make them do double duty! You can even paint them if you want to and I show you how with this Mercury Pumpkin DIY.
