Rust Wedding Suits
A groom’s suit for a rust wedding is often unconventional, definitely not the classic tuxedo. However, it is always an amazing and refined ensemble. A rust wedding suit can be a combination of any elegant choices of rust colored top jacket with a white shirt and matching pants, to a three piece suit of the same combination. For something more informal consider a black or burgundy turtleneck with a rust suit and black shoes or boots.
Choose between full monochromatic shades or find contrasts with black or white for that outstanding wedding look.

Rust Wedding Cake
Rust wedding cakes can feature dark rust colors such as burgundy or brighter ones such as orange.

Adorn the cake with florals, greenery, foliage, or glittery accents such as gold leaves or glam toppers. You could also dig deep into those autumn vibes and get a cake painted in watercolor brushstrokes or a buttercream creation of white ruffles and rust-hued sugar flowers cascading down the side.
