With Summer weddings in season, I thought it would be appropriate to share some outdoor venue inspiration for upcoming brides.  With great weather on your side, any venue is the ideal location, but a barn or farm setting can be one of the best spots to utilize for the natural outdoor beauty surrounding your venue.

I love the details of this barn in beautiful Sea Ranch.  Everything from the vintage wood that lets the indoor warmth shine outwards from its cracks, to the giant wreath which indicates a celebration, to the three little white guest chairs paired to the left side.  All of these details add interest and character to what could be just considered an old barn.  These decorative accents and the glow of illuminating lights from inside the barn,  give it a warm, fuzzy, and inviting feeling.

Inside, I love that the couple invited their guests into a world that they never expected at first glance.  A warm, detailed design inside the barn dresses it up for your wedding and encompasses both modern and vintage touches for your reception. Cascading drapery, candles, and touches of favorite colors or flowers can add personalized touches that allow guests to forget they are still inside a barn.

I love the potted grass as centerpieces on the tables. It continues the feeling of being outdoors, somewhere rustic, and a touch of chic country for the reception decor.  Modern dishware and glassware also add an updated touch to a countryside venue.

Outdoor venues are truly gorgeous and can capture a couple’s presence in the most natural setting possible.  Barn weddings are equally chic and beautiful to any other venue and for the right couple, make for a truly memorable wedding.  I hope we’ve inspired you to further personalize your own venue space!
