This is the most comprehensive collection of barn wedding ideas available, including centerpieces, wedding cakes, aisle decor, wedding signage, and so much more! These barn wedding ideas are both inexpensive and simple to create.
Barn Wedding Ideas
Now, before you go all puffed up on me, take a moment to think about it. Barn sites are typically less expensive to hire than luxury reception halls, and the barn may double as a wedding and reception destination, avoiding the need to decorate two distinct venues…already a significant cost reduction. Depending on where you live, you may know someone who owns a barn that you may rent for your wedding.
Barn weddings are really popular right now, so you’d appear to be very cutting edge to your friends and family, instead of being broke! Are you beginning to see why a barn wedding could be a fantastic idea? Hold on to your cowboy hat, because the ideas to make your wedding the most memorable in memory are about to arrive!
Barn Wedding Style
Consider why you want to get married in a barn before you pick a site or hire a BBQ caterer. What is the overarching theme that comes to mind when you imagine your day?
If you picture twinkle lights and chandeliers set against a palette of deep hues, opulent textiles, and lace embellishments, an elegant barn wedding might be your style. Combine rustic and elegant elements for stunning results.
If the country is more your taste, consider a wedding party dressed in cowboy boots, a rich decor accented with metal, copper, and leather, and a dusty blue or pink rose color scheme.
For a lovely environment, shabby chic blends handcrafted components or vintage-inspired touches. With diverse textures, chalkboard-style or whitewashed accents, and a blend of florals and lace, combine rustic touches in a laid-back, yet classy fashion.

Barn Wedding Decorations
Consider the surrounding nature and gorgeous panoramas as your canvas if you’re having your ceremony and reception at the same site. Strike a balance between your decorations and the scenery, and you’ll be able to stretch your decor budget.
Barn venues can handle a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to wedding decor. Take advantage of the situation! Allow the beauty of the location and barn building to show through by keeping your design basic.
Backdrops
Pallets can be used to create a wood plank wall. For a photo-worthy focal point, hang wreaths or cover the wall with twinkle light strings, flowing fabric, or floral garlands.
Vows can be exchanged beneath an arbor made of flowers, leaves, vines, or branches.
Then, as the backdrop for your big moment, use wooden doors, either open or closed. Select the one that best fits your theme: Barn doors, weathered farmhouse doors, glass-paned doors, and shutter-style doors are also options. Look for doors that speak to you in salvage yards, estate sales, and flea markets.
Natural Aisle Accents
A border of lanterns packed with candles, fairy lights, or rich green ferns could be used to decorate the aisle.
Use hay or grass under your feet instead of an aisle runner. Candles or floral arrangements can be placed on cut log stumps.
Hang canning jars or vintage lamps from each of the garden hooks at the end of each seating row. Flowers or candles can be placed in them.

Table Centerpieces
If roses aren’t your thing, fresh blooms are still a lovely addition. Keep your expenses in mind by collecting wildflowers from the grounds and arranging them in glass containers.
Consider an edible centerpiece, but take it a step further with a cheese and charcuterie board that extends the length of each table. It’s lovely, and it’s a nice addition to cocktail hour. Breads, crackers, cheeses, sliced meats, pickled vegetables, olives, grapes, dried apricots, apple slices, figs, and spreads should all be available. For different heights, use cutting boards and platforms.
So your centerpieces aren’t flat, use wooden crates or wine boxes to create levels while also adding texture. Greenery, apples, or pumpkins can be used to fill them. Use each crate as a platform for vases, candles, or lamps instead.
Encourage your guests to snack on edible centerpieces constructed with gleaming red apples, luscious peaches, vibrant red pears, or delectable berries. Fruit can also be used as a non-edible centerpiece.
Entrance
While your overall theme may be simple, the front entryway is the one place where you can make a statement. Set the tone with wooden barrels, outdoor chairs, artfully draped linens, giant rustic wreaths, twinkling lights, or lanterns before people enter the venue.
Have fun with your portraits, and don’t be afraid to get those one-of-a-kind shots. Hay lofts, barn doors, big windows, rolling hills, tractors, farm animals — have fun with your portraits, and don’t be afraid to get those one-of-a-kind shots.
Barn Wedding Dessert and Cake Ideas
Set up a farm-fresh ice cream sundae bar so visitors may add sprinkles, candied almonds, fruit, maple syrup, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream to their favorite flavor.
Instead of a traditional wedding cake, serve mug cakes that guests cook over an open fire. In a tin camp mug, pre-mix the dry ingredients and let visitors add sprinkles, chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit. Pour in the wet ingredients, then cook the mug cake on the grill or over an open fire. The camp mug can also be used as a wedding favor.
