Last night we had the pleasure of attending the wedding of our good friend Misha to her partner Tracey. They were lucky to have beautiful weather for Oregon in mid-May and the ceremony was outdoors among the trees between two lovely old barns. The ceremony was held inside one of the barns which was lit up by candles, strings of lights and warmed by a wood-burning stove. Husband and I have a softspot in our hearts for barn weddings because we had one, too. Ours was in New Hampshire in September, 2009 in sunny but slightly cooler weather. The ceremony was outdoors overlooking a lake and the reception was held in a lovely old barn on the grounds of a historical Shaker village.
I think a barn is one of the easiest way to have a simple, tasteful, and beautiful wedding. It doesn't detract from the fancy atmosphere that you want a wedding to have and it provides a warm and lovely setting for both ceremony and reception. Most importantly, a barn provides interest in itself and requires very little decoration. A few strings of lights, some candles, or some paper lanterns are all you need. I wanted to share some photos of both our wedding and the wedding we attended last night. Congratulations to Misha & Tracey!
