Rustic Industrial Wedding Ideas

Whether you are early or late to the trend, there is no question that weddings in industrial lofts are “in” right now. These chic, romantic celebrations afford couples the opportunity to adapt their personal style to raw industrial spaces — and the photos are amazing! But it isn't easy to find a historic, industrial venue that is suited to the task. The Art Factory in Paterson, NJ, just 12 miles from New York City, will surprise and delight engaged couples who are searching for the industrial wedding experience.

Our experts at The Art Factory have decades of experience planning truly remarkable weddings. We are a frequent film and photography location, so our added experience with set design and prop creation means we can set up your industrial or rustic wedding venue exactly the way you want it.

So, what exactly is an industrial wedding? “Industrial” venues vary and their authenticity is subjective. Some properties are actual former factory or farm locations, while others are simply buildings constructed in the industrial style. They may be modern or historic, but they share a few key aesthetic similarities. 

• Exposed brick or bare white walls
• Open ceilings with exposed beams
• Large, open spaces
• Sizable windows
• Wood or concrete floors
• Caged or simple hanging lights
• Minimal decoration
• Silver, gold, and other metallic colors
• Décor influenced by reclaimed or refurbished materials
• Visible metal piping, wires, or other “factory” elements

One reason industrial wedding venues have become so popular is because elegant attire and simple pops of color contrast beautifully against these austere spaces. They are also adaptable and customizable and can be more affordable than a traditional wedding venue. If you are interested in an industrial or rustic wedding venue in New Jersey, call The Art Factory today. 

Rustic and industrial wedding venues are similar in simplicity, but they are far from identical. Some of the features that define rustic wedding events include, but aren’t limited to:

• “Bohemian” or “boho” fashion elements such as casual clothing, braided hair, and bare feet
• Natural touches such as greenery, unfinished wood, and wildflowers
• Simple handmade decorations made from found objects
• Muted colors
