When Ingrid & Kyle chose a historic barn on the California coast, they envisioned exposed beams adorned with chandeliers and fire pits with lounge furniture beneath sting lights. Here’s some ways we brought that California luxury barn wedding vision to life:
Lighting the Barn’s Best Features
Highlight Beams: Use uplights at each post and hang rustic chandeliers from the rafters.
String Lights: Inside the barn drape string lights from the ceiling beams and on the barn patio suspend freestanding string lights to twinkle like the stars
Lush Florals & Greenery
Suspend greenery garlands intertwined in the chandelier for vertical interest
Ceremony wine barrels adorned with large lush flower arrangements- the bride loved them so much she literally too one home!
Climate Control & Pest Management
Insulated Tents or Drapes: Line doors and windows with heavy drapes to control temperature.
Eco-Friendly Repellents: Set citronella torches and offer bug-repellent stations in burlap sacks.
Farm-to-Table Flair
Local Caterers: Partner with farm chefs who can serve heirloom veggies and pasture-raised meats.
Farm cart style: dinner stations using rustic farm carts for a casual yet high touch feel, we did a carving station, salad, loaded mac, and mash potato bar, yum!
Cozy Lounge Layers
Layer Persian-style and jute rugs to define plush seating “nooks.”
Dress timeless patio lounge furniture with throws and jewel-tone pillows; add velvet sofas or leather chairs for contrast.
