Barn Weddings Chattanooga TN Offers

By Lelia Hall


There is a very special day on the horizon and you are getting the many plans in motion. Barn weddings Chattanooga TN has to offer are unique settings where couples can celebrate their union with family and friends. The arrangements that go into planning and carrying out such affairs are very unique and take special care to bring them to fruition.

You can set up the area in a very intriguing manner depending on the site and the weather. Hold the ceremony on a grassy area if available with guests sitting on rented white wood or gold Chivari chairs. The flower girls can scatter any type of flower petals down the aisle as the bride walks toward her betrothed who waits for her beneath a rustic arch. The outside row chairs can be decorated with hydrangeas, daisies, sunflowers, or old fashion roses.

Keep your decor very rustic and welcoming. You can entwine wildflowers through the entire arch to give it a really natural and colorful appeal. Decorate old fashion lanterns with other wildflowers and lengths of ivy for the reception guest tables. Remember to include the food tables, punch table, cake table, and head table in the count. Swag these tables with natural linen or burlap. Guest tables can be long tables set end to end or an array of round tables set for eight or ten. Some couples like a formal head table while others prefer to be out around their guest at a round table.

The props can be scattered all over the ceremony and reception areas. They can consist of old wagons, saddles, rustic fence rail, horse blankets, and more. The more vintage and authentic the venue is, the better the charm and the photos will be.

Your menu for the affair can be as casual as you like. It can easily consist of barbecue, roast beef, pulled pork, chicken, or an assortment of the bride and groom's favorite meats. Setting up a buffet for this type of event works best most of the time and allows guests to eat as much a they like but a plated, served meal can also be done. Your own foods can be brought in or a catering company can supply all that is needed.

You can hire a country and western band or musician that fits this type of environment. Having a guitarist at the ceremony to play background music and then to greet guests as they walk into the reception is always a nice touch. A rousing band will get everyone on the dance floor after the meal is over and the cake is cut. Be sure to double check with the venue that you will have plenty of power and staging and a dance floor are available.

The photos of this event will be truly memorable. With the many backdrops and beautiful, rustic surroundings, a good photographer can easily capture the mood of the day both during the ceremony and at the reception.

Both the ceremony and reception at a venue such as this will end up being unique and memorable. There are so many personal touches and additions that can turn this function into a party that will be recalled for many years to come. When their anniversary comes around, whether it be their fifth or fiftieth, they should return to this location to celebrate a long and lasting love.
