Are you pining for a barn reception? Country chic, barn receptions are the bees knees for many brides.
If you’re lucky enough to have a barn in your neck of the woods that’s available for weddings, you might be looking for some ideas on how to decorate the barn. Although some barns are wedding-ready, others are more like this one:
If so, there’s no need to fear! There are plenty of ways to transform this space into something beautiful.
Drapery
Drapery hung loosely from the rafters of a barn can work wonders on creating an inviting space.
String of Lights
A few strings of lights hanging from the beams and rafters will instantly warm up a space.
Paper lanterns
Hang paper lanterns throughout the barn and go from drab to fab!
Chandelier
Sometimes all you need are a few simple chandeliers.
Are you planning a barn reception? I’d love to hear about how you plan on decorating!
