Winter Barn Wedding Tips

The ceremony set-up was simple, romantic and a little boho. In the centre of the huge horse arena, a tee-pee of patio lights was created. Using a 2x4 as a pole and many extension cords and staples, a perfect tee-pee was erected. An early evening ceremony sets the romantic tone.

HollyOaks Farm has acres and acres of outdoor land opportunities; a huge stable, arena, and barn, the property hosts endless options for weddings. There are not only beautiful horses but also chickens, low-line cattle and adorable Shropshire sheep.

Instead of focusing on a glamorous snow theme, I wanted the warmth and coziness of Canadian winters to be the over-all mood.

To continue with the theme, we set up a Spiked Cider Station in one of the stalls. Using hay bales, wooden planks and crates, we created a tabletop for the cider, decorating it with cut logs, garland and furs. A huge chalkboard was used as the sign and farm tools laid about the scene. Fox taxidermy made their friendly appearance as well of course.

In another stall, we created a vintage blanket station for guests to grab before they cozy up with their loved ones with a spiked cider in hand for a romantic and moody ceremony experience.

Horse heads poked in and out of the stall doors in curiosity creating an intimate environment mixing nature and glamour.

Asparagus fern was wrapped around the low hanging chandelier and centred over the long harvest table which was situated in the centre of the stable aisle.

The table decor was based around my personal collection of brass candlestick holders and a fabulous plaid fabric I sourced. I made napkins out of the fabric and found a winter/deer theme plate at Anthropologie that was just perfect!

Marsala, black, white, gold and contrasts of blue quickly became the colour scheme. Antique mixed with new seamlessly: brass goblets sat alongside glitzy gold + glass tumblers. Gorgeous gold-plated cutlery looked modern and as a final woodland touch, turkey feathers were placed in the centre of the gold plated bowls.

Leslie from Warehouse 84 provided even more brass candlestick holders and added quirky brass deer heads as decoration. Her beautiful antique chairs finished off the ends of the table as hay bales fit alongside as a rustic bench. Sheepskins lay atop the hay, making for comfy seating. Lastly, gorgeous deep coloured and textured fruits are scattered on the tabletop, inviting your eyes to dance from detail to detail.

A dessert station set up on a horse cart that comes with the venue at the opposite end of the stable. A naked cake decorated with asparagus fern was the feature dessert by Le Dolci. For the savory types there was a delicious cheese platter of blocked aged cheeses adorned with honeycomb, olives, figs and walnuts. A stunning deer head watched over them both.
