Consider Barn Weddings Chattanooga TN Style

By Miranda Hawkins


You have been recently engaged and are looking for a unique and inexpensive venue for your ceremony and reception. You could consider the barn weddings Chattanooga TN offers to couples for their special day. Check out and tour these interesting venues for price, location and authenticity.

Rustic wooden benches, old church pews and antique folding chairs make for nostalgic seating for family and guests. Have the florist make a distinctive arch with branches and colorful wild flowers for real country appeal. Request that all guests wear casual western clothing to the festivities.

The food is the easy part. These farm-style functions work best with menus which include items such as barbecue, steak, baked and fried chicken, wild game, and even meat loaf. Sides can include such dishes as baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, mashed potatoes, creamed corn and green bean casserole. And just because there is cake for dessert doesn't mean you can't include cobblers, crisps, cookies and brownie in the fare offered. Beverages can include coffee, tea, keg beer and maybe a margarita station.

All the dishes and prep items can assist in carrying out the country decor. Serve the food on blue or red speckled tin plats and the hot beverages in tin cups. Set up tables from old doors over sawhorses or just use wooden picnic tables of all sizes. For tablecloths and skirting, utilize gingham, burlap and denim fabrics for an extra punch. Wrap your flatware in real western bandannas, tie securely with hemp cords, and stack in an antique basket for quick and easy access.

The decorations for such an event will be so simple and fun to locate and buy. Most of them will be very reasonably priced as they are very basic. For the guest tables, set out three mason jars on each in a variety of heights and colors. Add a votive candle on sand on the inside of each of the jars. Hang the same type of jars from rafters inside and tree branches outside but be sure to use only battery-operated lighting to prevent fires from occurring.

Buffet decorations can consist of wagon wheels, dried flower arrangements in cowboy boots or galvanized buckets, or even an arrangement of fresh wild flowers or daisies in a vintage pot. Use smaller versions of these same decorations on the cake and sign-in table.

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 outcome on this very special day will be unforgettable. The food, music, atmosphere, and the decorations will all come together to create a memorable and happy party that will give the bridal couple and the guests enough memories to last an entire lifetime.
