How Do You Style Your Barn Wedding?
Barn weddings normally have a rustic feel with their exposed oak beams so you want to avoid anything with too much beading or bling and it might be best to stay away from sequins, metallics, and satins, that might look out of place in a barn setting. The look most brides look for is slightly rustic, maybe boho, and definitely country chic.
Barn Weddings are all about being elegant and luxurious yet with a casual feel. Elements that you add to make your barn wedding your own unique style. Exposed old oak beams, with inspired details to pull together your theme with locally sourced cocktails for your wedding guests in trendy jars with lots of candlelight all help to communicate the laid-back vibe you’re going for.
Barn weddings hold so many possibilities for great wedding photos with all the details you planned to make your wedding day in a barn complete. With most Barn wedding venues there’s usually more to planning a rustic feel wedding than meets the eye but let your mind wander and look around places like Pinterest for ideas that you can use for your own barn wedding.
