Vancouver is a rainy city. Always have a backup plan for an outdoor rustic wedding venue.
Rustic weddings possess a timeless charm that translates beautifully in photographs. It starts with finding the perfect space; Giggster can connect you with a barn or farm-style setting like Bright Rustic Heritage Studio Space. Here are ideas of event venues that can host rustic celebrations to help you identify an ideal venue.
Barns – Larger Weddings. Ranch locations and farms usually have barns, which create charming wedding backdrops. The open-air setting provides a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle. The grounds can accommodate many people, and most of these settings offer lodging for out-of-town guests.
Industrial Locations – Private Events. Do you want a setting that will give your barn-themed nuptials a unique style? Rent an industrial winery with an open space plan and high ceilings. Make your grand occasion stand out by planning a small ceremony and reception in the location. Choose a location with a tasting room or outdoor areas for the day's different activities.
Event Venues – Farmhouse-style Parties. Party venues are flexible in many ways, and with added decorations, most can host different themed events. Plan a farm-chic standing reception in a venue featuring fairy lights and other rustic furnishings and accents.
Private Homes – Intimate Celebrations. Private homes are popular backdrops for intimate weddings. They provide more room for personalization, allowing you to plan the ceremony in the backyard and the reception inside. Most can also accommodate overnight stays, making them perfect for multi-day festivities.
Bars – After-parties. Vancouver has a selection of Irish bars with wooden elements that bring out the rustic aesthetic. The pubs are excellent for post-nuptial gatherings, especially if they serve food. They especially suit after-wedding celebrations, providing a constant flow of drinks and space for guests to dance the night away.
You've found your dream wedding venue, making your rustic nuptials second to none. The next step is to stay on top of the little details, which can make a themed event unique.
Rent a Dreamy Rustic Space – Giggster allows you to explore many rustic reception and ceremony venues in British Columbia. Vancouver farms, ranch locations, and country-chic event spaces can do justice to the rustic theme.
Hire a Wedding Photographer – Transforming a celebration space into a rustic wedding venue takes thought and effort. Charming barn accents can create eye-catching photoshoot backdrops. Get the professional services of a photographer to document your rustic memories.
Create a Suitable Menu – Renting a rustic wedding venue typically means you plan on hosting an outdoor celebration. The food presents an opportunity to allow the theme to shine, and a seasoned caterer can create a menu tailored to withstand the outdoor environment.
Give Out Party Favors – It's thoughtful to hand out wedding favors, especially at a countryside location. Family and friends will appreciate mini jam jars, seed packets, hand-stamped soaps, and personalized bottle openers.
Planning a rustic wedding in Vancouver can significantly set you back. However, Giggster will connect you with an affordable wedding venue, handling the first of many ways to spend less on themed nuptials.
Plan the ceremony and reception in one location.
