When it comes to wedding décor, there are basically no strict rules. In styled shoots we share with you on our blog we often see lots of unexpected details that somehow blend in oh-so-great with the rest of the décor. For example, a canoe is usually a boat people use for little cruises on the water, but in weddings it gets much more no ordinary functions. What is more, it's almost a rustic symbol already, because more and more couples tend to use it for lots of purposes. Can imagine what can those be? Well, we've gathered the best ways of using a canoe at your rustic soiree in the gallery below.

If we just try to narrow down the list of things you can do with a canoe for your wedding, you basically get 4 most common ways:

1. Drinks display. It's one of the easiest ideas to make a canoe a part of your rustic wedding. Simply fill it with beverages and ice and celebrating will get much better.
2. Food bar. Except drinks you can actually place your food in a canoe, including your wedding cake and desserts. It's much comfier that it might seem at first, because a canoe has different sections, where you can place your delicious treats.
3. Installations. You can let your imagination run wild and think of some décor ideas with a canoe. For example, you can fill it with flowers and place it (hang it) at your venue. This kind of detail surely won't get out of sight, causing lots of wows from your guests.
4. Seating chart. If you turn your canoe upside down, it may serve well as a seating plan. Hang your cards on it so that your guests could figure out their seats fun way.
