You probably know that having a barn wedding is not for everyone. Many couples want a traditional church wedding; complete with country club reception, music DJ and strobe light, and dancing until dawn. Chances are good that you have been to a few of those celebrations and had an enjoyable time. However, for those couples that wants a memorable wedding that is unique, and will be remembered for all the right reasons; consider the following 5 reasons to have a barn wedding.
1. Barn Weddings give couples an opportunity to create a theme oriented wedding celebration. Couples that love country music, easy living, originality, and the great outdoors, the barn wedding presents the perfect backdrop for your special day.
2. Couples that love this country style living can use this unique outdoor venue to make their special day a little more intimate, personal, and relaxed. Barn weddings can still have a great deal of formality, reverence, and sophistication in accordance to the couple’s wishes.
3. Barn weddings offer a plethora of opportunities for very unique and theme oriented design and decoration, in addition to some extra distinctive touches. Some couples have used a horse and buggy carriage to bring the bride and father to the center isle to begin the ceremony, as well as using it as the means of dramatic departure of the married couple over to the reception. Hay wagons, tractors, and even horses might become a fitting piece to a western wedding venue. Most photographers and videographers will love the opportunity to capture your wedding on film or on video. The contrasts between formal wedding attire and the simplicity of a crisp outdoor country living environment is striking as you can see by the links provided at the end of the article.
4. The reception possibilities of barn weddings are limitless. Most of the barn wedding venues available have on-site areas where the reception can be held. It offers a great opportunity to eliminate the need for your wedding guests to have to drive to another location in order to get to the reception. It also provides a great chance to theme out your reception by providing a line dancing, informal country western hoedown, complete with barbeque, red tablecloth, and sawdust. Some couples choose to use the informal setting of a barn reception location to provide the backdrop to a more formal and traditional reception style. The results are stunning and create a true rustic elegance.
5. Let your wedding ceremony celebrate your style, your love, and your desire for authenticity and originality. Your ceremony can include the same religious reverence, respect, and atmosphere as a church wedding. Chances are excellent that you will create a lasting memory for the two of you and all of the attendants and guests that attend as well.
