Seasons & decor

Wedding decor by season, with the tradeoffs stated

The strongest decor at a farmhouse wedding is the season already standing in the room. The work is choosing what to add and what to insure against.

A harvest table set in October: branches, amber glass and lanterns ask almost nothing of a florist and everything of the month.

In this section

This section reads decor through the calendar: what spring, summer, fall and winter each contribute for free, what each one threatens, and how linen, light and foliage behave in a barn. Budgets for decor sit in Planning & budget, and photographing it sits in Photography.

    Fall barn wedding decor: warmth without waste

    Autumn hands a barn its decor for free: color on the trees, warm light through the doors. The work is restraint, safety and one true palette.

    Spring garden wedding decor that survives weather

    Spring decor is a weather negotiation. Plan for wind, rain and late cold, and the garden gives back the year's freshest palette.
