Barn Weddings: In or Out?

This made me laugh. Made me think of something my mom said while I was looking for a venue.

"If you aren't going to give me a church wedding, at least don't make me attend a barn wedding!"

I'd have to say out, especially if you're using it as a trend. Now, if there's a connection to your life or perhaps you chose it because it was easier on your wallet, then sure! I'm personally not a fan of the rustic barnyard trend, but would much prefer the modern barnyard look haha

Not or me! Church wedding all the way!

If it goes with the style of your wedding, then I don't see a problem with it. There are many beautiful barns.

I wanted nothing to do with anything rustic for our wedding. It's just not my style.

Ooh, I think that's really interesting, EllieRose. I feel like a lot of people imagine places like barns as their venues and then end up at churches. Are you having all of your wedding at the church or are you going somewhere else for the reception?

I'm a Pastor's Kid so there was never any questions as to whether or not it would be in the church! I'll be the fourth generation of my mom's family to be married in our church! We are having the reception elsewhere! An all inclusive venue was ideal and while the church ladies can put on a mean dinner we opted for something a little more formal!

This was our first choice but it didn't work out. Simple yet beautiful.

What type of venue did you end up getting married in, Rica?

In, just not for me.

Out. So out.

What type of venue are you getting married at, Erica?

It's a combo! So the indoor space has a ballroom and a foyer. The outdoors has a garden, patios & water fountains! I actually found it here on Wedding Wire. I wanted something unique and was able to find it using WW site . It's called The Spring House

I don't think this one will ever look dated. But it's probably dying out as a "trend".... personally though I think if it fits your style & vibe, do it!!
