My original desire for the barn replica at my reception site was to add specialty lighting to the otherwise bare interior. I planned on using a lighting company in Atlanta to achieve a look similar to this:

From Love, Luck, and Angels

I mistakenly assumed that I could do whatever I wanted to the space as long as there was not any damage done to the building. My plan was to string the lights through the rafters and install uplights around the perimeter of the main room. I later found out that no one can string anything through the rafters of the barn. Whoops. I could still have the lighting company install uplights, but the overall cost was not worth it to me without the string lights (over $3000).

I commenced searching for a cheaper option and found this:

Adam Frank Lumens

I discovered these awesome lumenaries through the SocialDesign blog, and Miss Lemon also blogged about them earlier this year. They cost $48 each and achieve a more interesting effect with light and shadows than a plain uplight would. I am super excited about this find! We plan on using the Magnolia tree, naturally.
