Hashtag, We Love You

Quite often I'm asked, "so what should we bring in to decorate?" My answer typically includes THIS👆 Hiring a calligraphy/graphic artist to create a unique-to-you design on our bar blackboard is some of the best decor money you can invest. It's huge (and it's at the bar, so everyone is going to see it) and it's customized to your day. There is a list of these artists on our Client Portal - just click on the "Vendors" link.👩‍🎨⁠

When the sun is setting, a golden glow softly makes its way through the cracks in the walls of the barn, lighting the interior with summer warmth. When I was little, probably around 4 years old, I remember going into the barn to say "hi" to the horses and cows and watching the dust particles dance in the rays of that golden glow. I feel so lucky that I get to share this special place with so many wonderful people, on an incredibly special day in their lives. 💕⁠

You may look at this picture and ask, is that barn tilted? My answer: probably. When we were updating it to be a commercially viable structure (our engineer used that term and I never forgot it😂), we discovered that buildings this old tend to be... a little quirky in their dimensions and structure. For instance, the barn is 49' wide. Why 49'?! Was that a magic width in 1912 when they started building it? Who knows. But my takeaway from this post is that imperfection is actually pretty neat. And you don't have to be a perfect size to be beautiful. Your wedding doesn't have to be a perfect event to be memorable. Your husband or wife doesn't have to be a perfect person to be lovable. If you can accept things and people as they are in their imperfection, you might find a greater beauty in life and peace within yourself. ⁠Now, I need to go do a yoga pose. Namaste🙏⁠

In keeping with the TRB tradition of mis-matching everything possible, we've expanded our glassware selection to not only include water goblets (shown) but an impressive array of mis-match champagne flutes for toasting. Bring on the bubbly! 🥂⁠

Happy Leap Day!! I clicked the google icon and learned all I ever wanted to know about it. Did you know that February 29th is the day that men had to pay a fine if they turned down a woman's proposal?! Weird fact!! "It stems from a fifth century Irish legend which saw a nun called St Brigid of Kildare making a plea to St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, to grant his permission for women to propose marriage to their menfolk who were too, ahem, shy, to do it themselves (of course this may have been because they just didn’t want to…). As a compromise, he told her that women could from then on propose on the leap year. And it seems as if a LOT of women decided to take him up on the offer. In fact, a law was passed in 13th century Scotland that decreed that any man refusing a proposal on the leap year must pay a fine. This could range from a kiss, right through to a silk dress or, most commonly, a pair of gloves." -Closer.UK.💕Enjoy this extra day of 2020 friends!⁠

It's almost spring (YAY!!!) and yet, I am so drawn to fall colors still. We are so lucky to live in a place that has four distinct seasons - each prettier than the last.⁠

Anybody know when 'shroom season is? Typically, I'm not an avid hunter of fungi, but this centerpiece makes me want to start. I love new and interesting interpretations of the standard wedding florals and this is perfect.⁠

My baby is turning 19 months - which seems so old! I always thought that 18 months was the cutest age and now she's past that and just getting cuter and more fun. It's hard to believe that someday she'll be a bride, and I'll be the one helping to button her gown and hold her hand as she waits to walk down the aisle. *gulp*😭😭😭somebody hand me a tissue, please⁠

When couples ask me about how to "decorate" the barn, I tend to lead them towards putting the majority of their decor budget into florals. The barn and grounds are so lovely, they don't need to be dressed up any further - but professionally arranged florals placed throughout the barn, ceremony patio, and pavilion completely change the look and feel of that particular wedding. Whether it's a moody fall combo of colors, or one that's bright and cheerful, they all make that particular wedding special. Topping off these gorgeous decor pieces is the bridal bouquet - which is, as my good friend who's a florist says - the pièce de résistance.👩‍🎨⁠

Give me greenery and give it to me noooowwww. Don't get me wrong, I adore a custom centerpiece, but greenery placed throughout the barn turns it into a whimsical, boho masterpiece🌿⁠

Budgeting is the least fun part of life, in my opinion (who wouldn't love to have an unlimited one?? 🙋‍♀️). But it's also so incredibly necessary! I spoke to a bride today about wedding budgeting and how confusing it can be. A "rule of thumb" for those starting out is to expect to commit at least 50% of your budget to the venue and catering. So for example, if you have a $20,000 wedding day budget, you'd be looking to spend approximately $5,000 for your venue and $5,000 for your catering (or a combination of both that would equal $10,000). If you don't know what overall budget you should start with, @theknot reports an average of $33,391 with guest counts of 100-150. Not that it can't be done for less, but knowing your expected investment up front will make for less stress as you continue down the road to your wedding day.⁠
