No longer reserved for days out on the farm, barns are becoming more and more fashionable as wedding venues, particularly for those looking for a scenic getaway. Thanks to well-connected roads and transport systems across the UK, you’re never too far from a rural haven, so why not use this to your advantage for your wedding day? Forget whatever image springs to mind when you picture a barn wedding and get ready for a whole new meaning to ‘rustic beauty’.
Think Old McDonald, red-painted, wooden barns. Done? Ok, now scrap that. Although that may be the norm in more formidable climates, the North East England shelters are built warmer, sturdier, and more a touch more inviting. Brick facades with wood-beamed interiors, romantic lighting, and lush greenery creeping in are part of the simple sophistication of barn venues here. Dress them up with decor, layout your furniture as you please, and be swept away by the true elegance of these enchanting spots.
With the rising popularity of this style of wedding, it’s important to plan ahead. It’s recommended to book your venue at least nine months before you intend on walking down the aisle. You may find that due to the outdoorsy nature of barn celebrations the summer months could book up quicker than their colder counterparts!
