9 Ways To Style Your Barn Wedding Tables
One of our favorite things about a barn wedding venue is that it's a total blank slate.
It's got four weathered walls, a wood-beamed ceiling, and a floor...so the sky's the limit when it comes to styling the space!
As exciting as this may seem, it's one of the biggest challenges a barn wedding couple faces. After all, when the possibilities are endless, how do you decide which look to go for?
To help get your creative juices flowing—and show you just how versatile a barn wedding venue can be—we've compiled 9 of our favorite barn wedding tablescapes. Let the drooling commence.
1. Eclectic Elegance
Beautiful washes of colorful lighting, crystal chandeliers, mismatched chairs, and wild branches combine to create an eclectic yet elegant barn wedding reception. Use a mix of fruit and flowers as table centerpieces for some added visual interest, and you've got yourself a jaw-dropping display!
2. Warm and Inviting
Barn weddings can be incredibly cozy—just check out this inviting reception. In addition to the amber lights glowing overhead, tapered candles lend a warm ambiance to each table. Dark wooden chairs and some old-fashioned table lamps make it feel like you're dining in someone's home. Pull up a seat, won't you?
3. Light and Airy
White linens provide a light and airy contrast to the rustic interior of this barn. We're especially digging the votives hanging overhead. What a stunning yet inexpensive way to add some dimension—and a romantic glow!—to the space.
Bonus: How much do you love the mini baguette at each place setting?! Nom.
4. Bright and Spring-y
There's nothing prettier than bright, colorful springtime flowers against a weathered wooden wall. Add white linens and modern vases, and voilà! The barn transforms into a cheerful and vibrant setting.
5. Pretty Patterns
A great tip for adding even more visual interest to your barn wedding is using luxe, patterned table linens. How fabulous are these silver swirls? Simple wooden bistro chairs and low floral arrangements highlight the charming linens even more.
6. Monochromatic Drama
Here's a fun idea: Pick just one standout color and run with it! We adore how these monochromatic purple-hued florals lend so much drama to the space. Everything else can be kept simple when a plum floral runner steals the show!
7. Go Green
Alternatively, you can forgo flowers altogether and just use some gorgeous greenery. Putting branches in sky-high glass vases creates a tabletop “forest” and brings a bit of nature indoors.
8. Barn Glam
Gold adds a touch of glamour to everything. These gilded Chiavari chairs give a luxurious look to a simple wooden table. Centerpieces of pink tulips, apricot roses, hydrangeas, and lots of greenery have an unstructured elegance. Who says the juxtaposition of "rustic" and "glam" can't work?
9. Mod Black and White
A striped black-and-white table runner is a seriously eye-catching way to show off this array of colorful flowers...and it really pops next to the dark wood tables. Bunny vase, for the win.
