wondering how to plan a stunning farm wedding?

we’re breaking down the process of planning a farm wedding, from choosing a rustic barn wedding venue to finding the perfect vintage wedding dress.
choose the right farm wedding venue
the first step in planning any wedding is finding the location.
while it’s easier said than done, there’s a few top things you can keep in mind when planning a barn wedding.
since farm weddings particularly center around a rustic setting, you’ll want to make sure the grounds of the property exude natural beauty.
while the outdoors will ideally have beautiful landscape views, it’s also important that the venue’s amenities are equally as impressive.
looking for a local farm wedding venue with ample parking, a spacious bridal suite, and more will set you up for success on your wedding day.

embrace the rustic wedding theme
while a wedding venue doesn’t necessarily have to match your wedding theme, we do love when your ceremony and reception space pairs nicely with your decor!
for farm weddings, couples can really go all out and embrace the rustic wedding theme.
natural wedding decor such as wooden accents, burlap or suede table runners, dried flowers, greenery, and more can bring the rugged and rustic outdoor elements in.
if you love these rustic wedding theme ideas, but also want a pop of color, you could include wildflowers and local produce as well.

wear a romantic wedding dress
while your bridal wardrobe can go a variety of ways, we always adore a relaxed and romantic approach to farm wedding dresses. finding a rustic wedding dress that feels romantic and elegant is important.
common wedding dress details that work well at farm weddings include long sleeves, covered buttons, and shorter trains. fabrics such as lace, crochet embroidery, tulle, and chiffon, all compliment a rustic wedding venue very nicely.

use the entire farm wedding venue
keeping the separate farm wedding venue spaces in mind will not only help with capturing a variety of wedding photo backdrops, but also assist in the flow of the day.
oftentimes, the focus of planning a farm wedding can fixate so much on the barn.
use the entirety of your wedding venue grounds and make sure you keep temperature in mind.
having a backup plan in case of rain, chilly weather, and more can be key in creating a calm and cozy farm wedding experience.
