Barn venues are really becoming a hot commodity lately for the big day and we are not disappointed one bit! We love the rustic ambiance and the endless opportunities that each barn provides.
Take a peek at these MAGICAL photos below that reveal the rustic charm of this barn and the beauty of the decor that brought this wedding vision to life!
Do you feel like your wedding will be just like all the others at that same venue?
Not to fear! I promise your vision is unique and so distinct to your personality that the same barn will feel like a whole new world. We have visited the same venues year after year and yet each wedding is so new and exciting! It gives us great joy to assist in making that vision that has been dreamt of for months, (or years even!) come to fruition.
Below are 4 WAYS to turn the same old barn venue into your very own magical masterpiece!
So no worries, you can take full advantage of your beauty rest, check another thing off your list, and KNOW that your venue will be spectacular and special to you and your family.
Things to think about when creating your magical masterpiece:
1. Use extra decor material around your barn to tie everything together
There was extra garland left over so instead of wasting it, we put it to good use! We lined the curtains and placed it on tables to complete the greenery look and give the venue more texture and dimension.
2.COLOR ! !
Color can change the aesthetic of an entire event. Choose a color that stands out to you and best represents your personality!
The gold table runner added just enough color for a great contrast against the clean, crisp look of these white linens.
3. Lighting
Strung with care, these lights were complimented with a garland that changed the ordinary to extraordinary! Using the garland not only gave the ceiling another color, but it gave length to the barn giving it the illusion that it is more spacious, yet still romantic.
4. Make a S T A T E M E N T
Lastly, you want something that stands out upon first arrival. Whether that be a big sign, a picture, decor lining a walkway or something else! Make sure it represents you as a couple and I promise your guests are going to love it!
The curtains to the entrance of this reception provided elegance and grace to the rustic charm, while still giving it the statement the barn needed. The vision that was dreamt of for days finally came to reality and was yet again another wonderful wedding that was like none other!

What do all these things have in common you may ask?
A THEME.
It starts with a theme. Brides that give their wedding a theme not only have an easier time planning and making decisions, but it also gives their day a full story, from beginning to end. Check out this wedding that was a full feature film as if it was straight from the movies!
It started with the Invites. From the first invite received, this wedding was sure to be full of adventure, story, and a love just like the movies.
The movie theme continued right into the ceremony decor with this creative "NOW SHOWING" film poster letting the guests participate in the full experience of The Wedding Day movie they were about to witness {the ceremony}.
The moment we've all been waiting for..........the KISS!
Continuing right into the next scene was the romantic movie afterparty. Filled with gold hues and endless candles, the celebration was just beginning!
This romantic film had all of the guests talking! Filled with lots of love and laughter throughout the entire night, it was sure this movie would have a happy ending.
We all know that any good romantic movie will give you thefeels and this one had us hooked from the opening scene!
We gave this one a 5 star rating with so many great details from the invitations all the way to the end credits!
This recently opened farm venue north of the Twin Cities was the perfect place for a styled shoot. The day was spectacular, and the people involved were just as incredible. The atmosphere of this setting was a great space for trying out some new rustic ideas with a sweet, elegant undertone. Filled with greenery, lavender hues, and soft grey chiffon, the historic ambiance of the barn was complimented well. Check out some of our favorites shown below!
We love complimenting a draped arch with other decorations like these hanging glass ball vases with fresh flowers!
And to top it all off, the shoot even had a horse! This day was nothing short of greatness!
From start to finish this bride was ready for her day, as most brides are. The rain tried to dampen the morning by making an appearance but did not keep this bride from walking down the aisle of her dreams. She made a quick change in ceremony sites, added some cafe lights and a chandelier, and had the comfiest, cozy ceremony, which was nothing short of greatness. With an umbrella in hand, and her dad at her side she was ready to walk through the curtains and down the aisle to the man she would soon call her husband!
With the rain drizzling down behind them and the soft glow of the lighting, they had a ceremony that would be remembered forever!
The simple chandelier that Elizabeth chose gave them such a great focal point and centerpiece for their first kiss as husband and wife!
Simple white curtains only added to the comfy feel of their ceremony and provided a great backdrop for the couple at any time of their beautiful day!
As the evening goes on and the party continues, the lighting only gets better! The cafe lights began to make their appearance and soften the evening even more with such a sweet, romantic glow.
