Discover the Charm Of Barn Weddings

Non-traditional venues have been a trend among newly engaged couples in recent years. In between those trends you’ll find chalkboard signs, mason jars and vintage furniture. A bride’s wedding day should feel like a beautiful dream, and like home.

Why host a barn wedding?

Texas barn wedding

The rise of Texas-themed weddings has resulted in many couples wanting to express their identity through a barn wedding. And down here in Texas, barn weddings have been popular for decades. The property at The Grand Hall near Houston, TX provides the perfect backdrop for your country-themed wedding, and here’s why:

Rustic yet glamorous

Couples love the romantic yet laid back personal feel barn weddings provide. They are truly an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Barn weddings gives everyone a sense of appreciation for the simple things like nature, love, and family. The personalized decor, scenery, and furry animals make for a perfect way to show off the romantic charm of the barn setting. Interior shots can include barn pictures with your unique decor, and exterior shots can show the dreamy wildflowers and natural lighting.

A casual setting also puts the wedding party at ease — it is a more relaxed, fun atmosphere than a stuffy black tie gala.

A Blank Canvas

Couples can reflect their personalities through decor, catering, and flowers. Barn weddings are perfect for those who have a vision of their wedding and know exactly what they want for the most part.

There is freedom to decorate and express personal style and give a rustic chic wedding (kind of like Blake Lively did). DIY-decor also suits a rustic barn wedding theme, and it can save a lot of money when handwritten signs and personal decor are added. Many venues and churches have restrictions on what is allowed, but Texas barns usually have high ceilings and give you the chance to make your dream wedding a reality.

Plenty of Privacy

Having an entire venue to the newlyweds and their guests creates a more intimate celebration. This avoids interfering music from another event going on at the same time and curious people from other weddings trying to see what is going on at yours. Not only is your celebration exclusive to your guests, not worrying about how loud the music is late in the night can make for a more enjoyable party.

An all-in-one venue ensures convenience to guests and not having to worry about someone getting to the reception late. And the all-in-one location means more time for photos, speeches, and time for guests to mix and mingle.

Wide Open Spaces

Dancing space is an important aspect to take into consideration if a lot guests are expected. Barn weddings usually provide a large space that can accommodate everyone comfortably without compromising tables and chairs. This can be comfortable for furry friends from dogs to horses that can be a part of the ceremony and reception.

Parking is almost endless at barn weddings so no need to worry about someone getting a parking ticket! Bonus things that can be added also are exterior bars, lawn games, appetizer carts, and swings and slides for the little ones.
