One of the hallmarks of a barn wedding is the celebration of nature’s untamed beauty. Choose a hint of wildflowers such as daisies, cornflowers, lavender, Queen Anne’s lace, and delphiniums to capture that organic charm. These flowers bring a sense of whimsy and casual elegance to your arrangements, bouquets, and centerpieces.

2. choosing your color palette

Choose your color palette. Opt for a soft and romantic color palette that complements the barn setting. Think blush pinks, lavender, pale yellows, soft blues, and creamy whites. These delicate hues evoke a sense of serenity and blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Or go for a bolder and brighter color palette that sets your wedding apart and leaves a lasting impression on your guests. It reflects your bold and confident style, showcasing your personality as a couple.

Create a stunning focal point for your ceremony or reception with a floral arch. Adorn the barn entrance or outdoor ceremony space with an arch covered in cascading blooms, greenery, and natural accents. This serves as a picturesque backdrop for exchanging vows or capturing memorable photos. Consider a free standing arch or a ground arch that can be easily repurposed after your ceremony.
