Inspired by What A Host's stunning styling, this guide walks you through how to recreate a romantic rustic table look for your wedding, garden party, or outdoor celebration using products available at Mash + Mint.
There’s something effortlessly beautiful about a rustic outdoor table setting - wooden textures, flowing linens, soft candlelight, and natural florals all working in harmony. At Mash + Mint, we were so inspired by What A Host’s recent alfresco wedding table styling that we wanted to show you exactly how to recreate a similar look with products available on our site.
"We loved seeing how What A Host captured the essence of rustic romance in their outdoor table styling, proof that simple, well-chosen details can completely transform a space. We’re thrilled to stock many of the featured products at Mash + Mint."
Choose a Wooden Table and Neutral Linen
Begin with a raw wood or natural-style table as your base. Add a soft table runner or neutral-toned linen cloth, think muted creams, earthy tones, or a soft stone grey. This creates a calming canvas and sets the tone for the rest of your setup.

Layer Up with Elegant Tableware
For a look that’s relaxed yet refined, opt for warm-toned cutlery like the Lisbon Rustic Cutlery Set. Pair it with artisan-style plates and glassware, recycled glass tumblers or mismatched ceramics can add depth and character.

Light the Table with Candles
Tapered candles in simple holders or a mix of tealights will give your table that golden hour glow. Group them in varying heights for a natural, gathered look. The Margo Iron Rustic Candle holders make the perfect addition to your tablescape.

Incorporate Seasonal Florals and Greenery
Rustic tables shine when adorned with greenery and wild blooms. Drape eucalyptus along the centre, fill bud vases with meadow flowers, or add a bowl of figs, lemons, or berries to bring colour and movement. The stylish gold serving trays with handles are easily transportable to and from your table.
