Why Barn Weddings Shine in the Fall
Barn venues are timeless, but they’re especially stunning in autumn. The natural wood tones of barns pair beautifully with:
- Fiery foliage in shades of red, gold, and orange.
- Cozy décor like candles, lanterns, and textured linens.
- Seasonal menus featuring cider, pumpkin spice, or local apple desserts.
With the right styling, barns strike the perfect balance of rustic and refined—making them ideal for Maine couples who want warmth and atmosphere.
