What's big in 2020? You might want to consider a barn themed wedding. These chic-country ceremonies have been all the rage this year thus far and continue to wow guests as well as the bride and groom themselves. Why should you consider a rustic barn wedding for your big day?

Read on and we'll walk you through what you need to know.

The Perfect Blank Canvas

There's a lot of amazing reasons to love a barn wedding, but let's start with the basics of aesthetics. This is your big day, after all, and you want to have maximum control over what it will both look and feel like.

Choosing a barn as your wedding venue can help you to achieve this goal. One of the big benefits of a rustic wedding venue is that you'll have a neutral color scheme to start with, allowing YOU, not the venue, to lead the way in terms of color decisions. 

A barn is a perfect, wide-open blank slate to create whatever you want to create for your wedding day. You can go whimsical with fairy lights, classy with gold and silver glamour, or commit to the country-rustic feel. A barn as a venue should make all of this possible.

You won't find this with all the venues out there. In many, the coloring of the walls or carpet might push you in a certain direction with the aesthetic that you aren't happy with. With a barn, you don't run into that issue at all.

Beautiful and Peaceful Setting

Is there anything better than the feeling of the sun setting over green nature? A rural barn wedding can provide a much more serene setting for a ceremony than a location in the middle of urban sprawl.

It's a given that being in nature just allows people to feel better. It gives your ceremony a serene and gorgeous backdrop that will be just as impressive in person as it will be in the photos and videos you'll enjoy for years to come.

Setting your ceremony somewhere more remote like a barn gives the whole day a 'getaway' feeling as well. You and your guests will feel more like you're escaping the city to go somewhere magical, as opposed to simply stopping by another appointment in the city.

Plus, no one has to worry about getting a parking ticket!

Depending on where you get married, the farm might also have a house and bedrooms where you and some of your guests can stay. This makes it an amazing escape for the whole weekend.

There's just nothing like getting married in the wonderful scenery, and a rustic barn wedding can provide this like nothing else.

Plenty of Space

One of the issues that too many weddings run into is a lack of space. You have so many guests you want to bring in, but where can you fit them all? How about the many ideas you want to employ, from a long communal dining table to photobooth? Where is it all going to go?

The wide-open environment of a rustic barn wedding makes this kind of worrying a non-issue. The space is so flexible that you can turn into whatever you want. You can do your main ceremony in the barn or on the lawn depending on what you need. 

The barn can be the perfect main hub for the reception and party, but it can always spill out onto the lawn if need be. 

No matter what ideas and visions you have for your wedding day, a rustic barn wedding can likely provide the space you need to make it a reality.

Amazing Photo Opportunities

Even if your decor wasn't going to be amazing (we know it will) a barn wedding still would provide you with a wealth of amazing photo opportunities. The property itself will likely be host to some impressive and cinematic landscapes, perfect as a backdrop for your big group photos.

The countryside, from the trees to the fields of wheat, also provides a romantic backdrop for more individualized photos.

It's the perfect place to take some wedding photos of you and your new spouse, and your guests will be sure to love it for their own photos as well. 

Photos taken inside the barn, on the other hand, will radiate a classic and natural warmth. You'll be able to show off the decor and aesthetic you've landed on, and it'll give you a whole new angle to explore in the memories of the day.

That's all without even mentioning the animals that might call that property home! Snapping some shots alongside horses or turkeys can really highlight the rural charm of your wedding ceremony. 

Why Embrace A Barn Themed Wedding?

If you still haven't landed on a venue for your ceremony, there's a lot of great reasons to consider a barn themed wedding. The above are just a few of the many, many reasons this kind of wedding ceremony can be a smash hit and a day to remember.
