After years of perfecting my technique of doing a smooth buttercream, I have a bride that doesn't want it smooth. She said she wants the icing to look more rustic and not so stiff. Anyone have suggestions on how to do this or have pics I could look at?

Maybe look up "homestyle iced"...I actually LOVE doing it and love how it looks. You can use a knife or spatula or spoon and just ice it with gentle swirls or whatever.

Here's one example out of many:
