Missouri Barn Wedding
Isaac and Amanda incorporated so many fun details into their wedding! The painted benches and the paper flower decor were the great, budget-savvy options for their barn wedding ceremony. And how cute is their reception decor? I love the kraft paper on the tables and the crayons in mason jars. And the wildflower centerpieces are beautiful and just perfect for the setting. Enjoy this Missouri barn wedding! xoxo, Jessica

How many guests did you have?
We had about 30 people at the ceremony and 70 total at the reception. We bought enough food and place settings for 100 people.
What creative or personal aspects did you include in your wedding?
We decided to do the brown paper and crayons for the table cloths. This decor not only saved on table cloths, but allowed guests to give their personal touch to the tables. The mason jar centerpieces had wild flowers and grasses from the surrounding area and were very last minute.
What was the biggest thing you did to save money?
The biggest thing we did to save money was ask our family and friends for help. ÂIt really is all about who you know. We also did not have alcohol at our wedding. We did a lot of DIY for the invitations and decorations.
What’s the best advice you have for planning your wedding now that you’re on the other side?
My advice is to start early planning the wedding and make sure you have a great support system to help see things through at the end so you don’t have to stress.
What was your biggest splurge?
My biggest splurge was definitely on my wedding dress. I didn’t think when I started I wanted to do a traditional wedding dress until I tried that dress on.
What was your favorite detail?
My favorite detail had to be how the wildflower centerpieces, paper table cloths, and mismatched place settings all came together for the reception.
What is the most memorable moment of your day?
My most memorable moment of the day was holding my husband’s hand when I reached him at the end of the aisle because all of the other things didn’t matter when it came to that.
