Relaxed Vibes

There is so much fun and flexibility when you’re planning a barn wedding. You can play around with so many elements, and the down-to-earth aspect of it can help your wedding guests feel more at home. While weddings can have all types of atmospheres, the cozy feel and ambiance of a barn wedding will be both classy and homey. This is a great combination when bringing everyone’s families together for the first time.

Yard Games

The ample grass and farm available around the barn mean there is so much opportunity to play fun yard games. Many weddings focus on dancing and food, and this can be fun for many guests. However, some may feel left out because they aren’t comfortable dancing for any variety of reasons. Yard games give wedding guests another chance to mingle outdoors. Creating a spot for corn hole can allow for a friendly bride vs. groom round, for example. Guests of all ages, from children to grandparents, would all be able to participate in fun yard games. Other yard games include horseshoes or even a game of giant Jenga.

Wedding Music Themes

There are so many great playlist ideas for your barn wedding! Bluegrass staples or a live acoustic guitar player for dining music or the ceremony would give an authentic appeal to your barn wedding.

Cute Decorating Ideas

Rustic chic themes are welcome, as well as more traditional elements. Think fresh-picked table settings wrapped in twine, mason jar candles, or other crafty DIY decorations. Plaid tablecloths for the refreshments table would also be on-trend.
