1. Lightings
It may be in the afternoon, early evening, or even in the morning. The time of the wedding doesn’t matter when it comes to lightings. The room should always be filled with lights, unless it is located in an open area during the day.

Candles are usually common on wedding events, including a country themed one. This kind of lighting adds a romantic effect. It does not only provide additional glow, but also helps save time, because there is no need to use electricity.

2. Buntings
This particular décor definitely provides a country feel. You can choose different colors and designs for the pattern. It may be based on the specified motif you have chosen. This is better hanged on a high position. It is also a great idea if you can do a customized one, which is another money saving option.
3. Ribbon
Other than buntings, ribbons in various sizes, colors and types can add beautiful impact during the occasion. This is not the ribbon you tie at the back of the chair, although you may do that still. This is a more absolute décor that needs to be given emphasis on a barn wedding.
