Hay bales, burlap, cedar shavings and bare wooden walls accented with scuffed up wine crates, countless mason jars, and a dilapidated wheel barrow you found in the neighbor’s shed. Sound familiar? We’re giving you the recipe to create a barn wedding with an underwhelming color palette of brown, beige and BORING!!

So how might you add a little style, sophistication and pizzazz to your barn wedding?

Option 1: Take out your wallet, roll up your sleeves and start adding 32 million DIY Pinterest-inspired details. (Make sure you’re prepared with tissues, ibuprofen and a backup bridesmaid… tears, headaches and broken relationships are almost guaranteed with Option 1.)

Option 2: Follow Bucky and Ashleigh’s lead by adding a brilliant pop of contrast and texture to your wedding reception with silver Chiavari chairs.  (Note: no tissues or ibuprofen necessary for Option 2.)

Now, please enjoy all these beautiful pictures of Ashleigh and Bucky’s GORGEOUS October barn wedding at the Britt Angus Farm in Hartwell, Georgia. We totally adore the non-boring color palette– peachy pinks, coral, ivory, and navy blue accented with pops of brilliant silver and champagne.

The couple chose to rent a mix of farm tables and 60″ round tables with centerpieces of varying heights to add visual interest to the large reception space. Five farm tables were connected to make the 30-foot, u-shaped head table for the wedding party. To soften the rustic look of the barn, we decided to add silver chiavari chairs, custom cafe string lights, chandeliers, and greenery across the farm tables.

Thanks to Logan Potterf Photography of Athens, Georgia for all the beautiful images! Enjoy!
