What are some DIY wedding decorations for a barn wedding?

Barns already have character, so your DIY decorations should enhance the space without covering it up. Start with the ceiling: hang strings of fairy lights or paper lanterns from the beams, and use clear fishing wire so they seem to float. For tables, use wooden crates or pallets as risers, and top them with mason jars filled with wildflowers, ferns or dried grasses. You can make simple table numbers by writing on slices of wood or pebbles. For seating areas, stack hay bales and cover them with old blankets or throws in your colour scheme. Create a welcome sign on a large piece of timber, using a stencil and paint. For the ceremony aisle, line it with lanterns or tin cans with holes punched in them, lit with tea lights. A sweetheart table can be decorated with a garland of eucalyptus or ivy, which you can make by wiring stems together. If the barn has a bar area, add a chalkboard menu and hang bunting made from fabric scraps. Remember to check the barn's fire safety rules before using candles or open flames.
