Beautiful, Rustic & Elegant Barn Wedding Receptions
/filters:no_upscale()/filters:strip_icc()/images/sa8KoOZcaSNEgwrhy4ih.original.jpg "Barn Wedding Receptions")
As the rustic wedding trend continues to rise in popularity (and shows no signs of slowing down), we looked to some of our favorite wedding events that each took place at the ultimate country-style venue: a barn! With unique entryways, impressive wooden beams, and a neutral space filled with character of which to add décor, barns are the perfect locations to host rustic wedding receptions.
Whether you're a city slicker or a cowgirl at heart, transporting guests to a serene ranch or farm for your nuptials is the perfect way to celebrate the start of your new life as husband and wife. Consider having an outdoor ceremony in the fresh air, a cocktail hour on a wood deck outside the barn, and a stylish wedding reception with a rustic-elegant theme inside the barn. Hang string lights or chandeliers from overhead wood panels, suspend luxurious drapes from exposed beams, and choose stylish floral centerpiece arrangments with a rustic flair to create a refined wedding design worthy of a ballroom celebration.
