Most often our couples fall in love with our venue’s rare stunning rustic beauty. In addition to the touches of elegance our couples spot throughout our barn, they often bring their own style too. With the pairing of our venue’s natural beauty and the couple’s elegant details, we see so many of our weddings feel the perfect blend of both comfort and specialness.
We’ve compiled a list of our favorite ways to see our couples add elegance to their weddings here at the Amazing Graze Barn.
Color Pallet is Everything
Your color choice is arguably the most important decor decision you have to make when planning your wedding as it influences every detail of your day.
When looking to add extra elegance to your rustic wedding, choosing a beautiful color pallet is one of the easier (and very best) ways to achieve the look.

Write Love Letters
While this is not a front-and-center type of idea, the intimate moment captured by your photographer makes for an added level of intimateness and elegance.
Our bride here chose to read her love letter from her now husband in the bridal suite, but you can choose anywhere on-site to create the perfect background for you.
Adding Romantic Photos
Adding photos of you and your fiance adds a level of personalization and romance to any wedding. We have seen brides place photos everywhere from our staircase, to beside the cake, to the ceremony altar. The key is to find an open, yet highly viewed area to display the elegance of your love.
To ensure elegance comes through and the photos stay on theme, opt for professional photos (not selfies). Pro Tip: If your professional photos do not match your wedding color pallet, ask the original photographer to turn them black and white.
Opt for a Soft Flat Instead of a Heel
In lieu of a clunky high heel with lots of sparkle, go for a softer shoe within your color pallet. Not only will you be more comfortable on your day, but you will almost glide or even float through the venue (versus loud clicky clacks from heels as you walk). To us, elegance also can be achieved through softness and subtleness.
Take Communion
Eating may seem like a strange “elegance” idea at first. But taking communion symbolically celebrates the Gospel. The Gospel, meaning, “good news”, describes in detail God’s love for us through His son Jesus Christ.
Pray about displaying the meal in a simple way at your wedding altar and taking communion together. We have seen this act turn out to be a beautiful and elegant part of wedding ceremonies.
Choose Small Bites Wisely
When thinking through your menu with an elegant theme in your mind, charcuterie boards are a great idea.
Not only are they trendy right now, but small bites of high-quality food screams elegance even to the guests with the highest of expectations.
Add Simple Accessories
Choosing a simple necklace or piece of jewelry will easily elevate your occasion from casual to elegant.
If you would like to do the same for your groom, encourage him to wear a watch with clean lines and neutral colors.
