Rustic Glam
From the bride: My husband, Aaron, and I really wanted our wedding to be relaxing and fun, but still have some sophisticated elegance. The juxtaposition of a rustic barn with ‘glam’ details appealed to us.
Unique seating idea
In order to accommodate our 210 guests for a sit down feast, a 40 ft x 100 ft tent was erected on the meadow near the barn. Inside the tent, we served a family style dinner and had guests seated in a unique table formation of X’s and O’s.
Neutral colors
My color pallet was very neutral with gold accents. I chose a simple ivory dress and veil that were appropriate for my church wedding but also felt at home inside the barn. The bridesmaids wore taupe convertible dresses and the groomsmen purchased Navy blue suits.
It's all in the details
Offering good food and fun music were really important to us. An extended cocktail hour was held in the barn with several appetizer stations. One station was a rustic bread bakery set-up to offer guests a variety of freshly baked breads and dipping oils.
We put on our DIY hats and revved up our thrifting excursions. In order to make the barn more glamorous, we used large suspended florals, strung with warm lights. We created a comfortable lounge area in the hayloft using borrowed leather couches, an Oriental rug and various vintage mirrors and accessories.
