Consider Barn Weddings Chattanooga TN Style

By Miranda Hawkins


You want an original ceremony and reception and something that will be memorable and casual. The barn weddings Chattanooga TN have to offer bridal couples can be very unique and reasonably priced. Tour area structures for the best location for this special affair.

Set up the ceremony area outdoors if possible. Utilize rustic wooden benches and vintage folding chairs for guest seating. An arch made of branches and wild flowers will complete the look. Encourage guests to wear their best country or western wear to the event.

Selecting delicious food for this type of event is so easy and fun. Menus that include wild game, fried chicken, barbecue, steak, or even casual fare such as hot dogs and hamburgers would all be appropriate for a casual party such as this. Add coleslaw, baked beans, sweet potato fries, mashed potatoes, fresh fruit and potato salad and this fare will be an instant hit. Even though wedding cake will be offered, bite-size cookies and brownies, crisps, and cobblers, and even an ice cream bar would be greatly appreciated. Beverages offered can include lemonade, coffee, tea, keg beer and possibly a full bar.

Dishes and food prep items can carry on the rustic country-style decor. Use blue-speckled plates and cups and serve tea and water in smaller mason jars. Tables can be as simple as old doors placed on sawhorses or authentic wooden picnic tables. The linens can include such fabrics as denim, gingham, or burlap for a real country look and appeal. Don't forget the sign-in and food tables as well as the cake table. Utilize real bandannas with hemp strings to roll your flatware in and place them in a wicker basket or galvanized tub for easy access.

Decorations are a snap to find and arrange for an event such as this. Costs will be minimal as the supplies are very basic. For intriguing centerpieces on the guest tables, place votive candles on sand inside mason jars of various sizes and colors. Place three of these jars in the middle of each table. Hang some of these mason jars in the trees outside and from rafters on the inside. Be sure to use battery-operated votive candles for safety reasons.

Decorations for the buffet could include dried or fresh flower arrangements in galvanized steel vases or old cowboy boots or daisies in an antique pot. Utilize miniature versions of these on the cake, gift and sign-in tables.

The music is the easy part and will depend greatly on your overall budget and the mix of your guests. You can hire a country and western band, a country rock group, or a band that plays a variety of music. Guests can be greeted by a fiddler or guitarist as they arrive at this unique and rustic venue. Many of these venues will include an elevated stage for musicians. Be sure to check on the power available if you do decide on a larger band.

The final product on your special day will be unbelievable. The atmosphere, the music, food and decorations will all blend together to give you an exciting and happy memory that will last a lifetime.
