4 Ways to Bring Color Into Your Barn Wedding

The Barn at Belle Hills • March 3, 2023

Barn weddings often bring white and gray rustic decor, but that doesn’t mean your wedding can’t be the most colorful event of the year! Wedding color schemes are becoming more vibrant. It’s time to move away from the gray and white and celebrate with color! With these five ideas, you will be sure to host a wedding just as bright as your marriage.

Vibrant Florals

Floral arrangements are one of the easiest ways to integrate colorful hues into your big day. You may feel tempted to keep your bouquet subtle, as to not overwhelm your wedding dress, but shades like orange, purple, and blue can enhance your gown’s beautiful details.

 

Choose one or two vibrant flowers in your wedding colors to make the bridesmaids’ bouquets pop and use small buds in coordinating colors for the men’s boutonnieres. The whole wedding party will be bursting with color!

 

Floral arrangements are for more than just the wedding party, though. One trend that’s become popular this year is using as many flowers as possible and integrating throughout the entire venue. Create an extravagant wedding arch to surround you and your spouse-to-be with color as you say your vows. Bright florals even have their place in the reception! Outfit dinner tables with bold floral centerpieces to make a statement during dinner.

Dress Code

Bring your wedding party and guests in on the fun by inviting them to dress in your wedding colors or other vivid shades. The bright hues will serve as a stunning contrast to the rustic barn setting. Get creative with your wedding party outfits.

 

As the ones that stand with you at the altar, your bridesmaids and groomsmen will be in many of your photos. Use varying shades of the same color to add interest to the bridesmaids’ dresses. You don’t have to leave the men out either - introduce color in a subtle way by selecting patterned or vivid ties; or make a statement by having the groomsmen wear colorful suits!

Table Decor

With the help of linens, dinnerware, and table decor, you can keep the color flowing right into the reception! Choose tablecloths in a bold color or in coordinating shades to set the tone and accessorize with fun dishes and glassware. Add napkins in an exciting print to complete the place setting.

Invitations

Your wedding invitation is your guests’ first glance at your wedding colors and theme. Start your nuptials off on the right foot by showcasing your bold taste in color through your stationary! Opt for a bright envelope or use a bold color as the background. You can even plan to wear your vibrant wedding colors during your engagement photoshoot and include those photos in your invitations!
