Phae (Phaedra) Andrew’s rustic barn wedding at Brisbane Barn Weddings was a beautiful and stylish ceremony and reception.

The couple wanted to truly engage with the community spirit of the venue located at Second Nature Organic Farm at Narangba.

The rustic barn wedding venue and natural country setting was the perfect backdrop for their creative vision. In true DIY spirit, they embraced the planning, theming, and decorating of the barn with gusto.

Decorating their rustic wedding barn

In the lead up to the event, the couple had great fun scouring antique shops for old-worldly items with which to decorate the barn. They picked up numerous pieces all of which added to the rustic barn wedding vibe. 

Building on a legacy left by previous DIY event couples, Phae and Andrew wanted to leave a little something at the venue for other couples to use.

They had this in mind when they came across an antique school desk dating from the turn of the turn of the 20th century. Thinking that the desk would be perfect for their signing ceremony, they bought it as part of their collection of items.

They also organized new upholstery of two antique chairs to complete the setting for the signing of their official papers.

After the signing of the marriage documents, Phae and Andrew signed their names on the table along with the date of their ceremony, leaving a legacy of their event. 

Phae and Andrews rustic barn wedding – inspired creativy  

In true community spirit, after their own celebration, they left the antique school desk, and the two antique chairs at the venue for other couples to use. This has started a tradition of other couples also signing their names on what we now call the ‘wedding desk’, in memory of their attendance at the venue.

This beautiful act of generosity of Phae and Andrew is an example of the community values of Brisbane Barn Weddings. As a result of the creativity and generosity of numerous couples, there are now many rustic props ready for other couples to use, should they wish.

Access to use these props is all part of the advantage that we offer couples when theming their event.

Brisbane Barn Weddings welcomes couples, and their families, to access the venue a few days beforehand, to organize their individual theming and decoration.

Couple can either choose to do a little, or a lot, when it comes to decorating the venue. The rustic wedding barn offers almost all the infrastructure needed for a successful event, and couples can either choose to decorate extensively, or keep it simple.

Either way, the barn is an inspirational space for couples to truly individualize their special event in their own way.

Phae and Andrew’s rustic barn wedding was a touching, personal event, that also celebrated the community values at Brisbane Barn Weddings.

Thanks Phae and Andrew – what a beautiful couple.
