How to Create The Rustic Barn Wedding Without an Actual Barn?

The most significant wedding trend is to get as far away from the traditional wedding venue as possible. We’re no longer getting married in hotels and banquet halls. Couples are going back to basics, breaking with years of tradition, and starting their lives together in the rustic, romantic setting of a barn. Make no mistake though, the barn wedding is still super chic, despite the rustic and downplayed decor. You also don’t need a barn to create a barn-themed wedding; all you need are the right decorations.

One of the main takeaways is the popularity of the barn wedding trend. Almost 15% of the couples got married in a barn-themed setting. Whether it was an actual barn or another venue made to look like a barn, one thing was for sure, exposed wood and mason jars were (and still are) a big hit on the wedding circuit.

Making Your Venue Look Like a Barn

You don’t have to find an actual turn of the century barn to get married in a barn. Some essential wedding decorations will make any venue feel rustic and earthy. Think of all the elements that you associate with a barn, and then work with a wedding rental company to transform your venue into a romantic barn wedding.
