If you’re planning a rustic country wedding, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve got tons of ideas for decorating your barn or venue that won’t break the bank. From hanging fairy lights on beams and twine in the barn, creating a makeshift bar with rustic barrels and crates, using reclaimed wood to create signs and table numbers, covering empty wine bottles with lace and ribbon–there are so many ways to incorporate country chic into your special day without spending thousands of dollars. So let’s get started!
Hang fairy lights on beams and twine in the barn.
Fairy lights are a great, inexpensive way to add a little extra magic and ambience to your wedding. You can hang them from beams and twine in the barn or use them outside on the patio for lighting. Either way, it’s easy to create an outdoorsy atmosphere with fairy lights!
Here are some ideas for how you can use fairy lights in your barn wedding decor:
- Hang them from beams, rafters or trusses
- Use twine to create an outdoor “wall” of light that can be hung around windows or doors
- Use them as part of a garland (use small hooks)
Create a makeshift bar with rustic barrels and crates.
Create a makeshift bar with rustic barrels and crates. Why not create an actual bar? You don’t have to! If you’re on a budget, and/or are having your wedding in an unconventional venue (like the barn), then you can still make your guests feel like they’re at one of those classy city bars. Use reclaimed wood to create signs and table numbers. Cover empty wine bottles with lace and ribbon. Place candles in mason jars or colored glass bottles for a more rustic look.
If you want to get really creative, use burlap table runners on all your tables instead of cloth ones!
Use reclaimed wood to create signs and table numbers.
As you know, reclaimed wood adds a rustic feel to your wedding, so it’s no surprise that it makes for excellent table numbers and decorations.
You can use reclaimed wood to create signs, as well as table numbers. For example: if your theme is “bike,” then you could make small wooden bikes with the number 12 painted on them. These will be perfect for the dessert tables!
Use burlap table runners on all your tables.
Burlap table runners are a great way to add a rustic touch to your wedding. If you decide to use them, you’ll want to make sure that they’re tied on with either jute (which looks like thin rope) or twine. You may also want to add burlap sashes on the back of each chair so that your guests will have something more interesting than white linen on their backsides!
Cover empty wine bottles with lace and ribbon.
Lace, bow and ribbon are not just for tying up your hair. You can use them as decoration, too!
The lace makes a nice little vase and the bow adds an elegant touch. This is an excellent way to cover empty wine bottles!
Place candles in mason jars.
A simple candle is a beautiful way to add atmosphere and ambiance to your venue. It can be used as a centerpiece, table decoration or simply placed in jars around the venue as an additional decoration piece. For example, if you’re having dinner during the day outside under an open air pavilion with wooden tables and benches, place Mason jars filled with tea lights on each table as you set up for dinner.”
There are tons of ways to incorporate country chic into a wedding, that won’t break the bank.
Another great way to save money while still having a country wedding is to use what you have. Chances are, your parents or grandparents had a barn and there’s probably some old farm equipment lying around that they would be happy to give to you (or sell). If none of these options sound good, then look into finding some antiques like an old tractor or wagon at an auction or flea market! You’d be surprised at how much fun it can be looking for things for your wedding!
Another way is by recycling items from other events that were held in the past. For example, if you had a rustic themed baby shower before getting married; why not incorporate those decorations into the wedding? This way everything matches perfectly without having spend any extra money on buying new decorations just because they’re “country chic” themed!
Conclusion
In conclusion, it’s time to start thinking about your wedding. Whether you’re planning a small event or something extravagant, there are ways to make sure your wedding is affordable and beautiful. With these ideas in mind, you should be able to find inspiration for any budget!
