Do you guys remember when I shared that we had finally found our dream venue? Well, since my photos weren’t of top notch quality (since iPhone plus rain does not equal pretty pictures), I decided that before I can move forward with more of our planning details, I had to share photos that would do our venue some justice.

The barn is where we’ll be holding the reception (and possibly the ceremony, depending on the weather), so I’m thrilled that these lights and paper lanterns are now included in our wedding package! The way the photo below is set up is very close to how we’ll set up the venue for the big day. The only difference is that instead of a head table, we’re going to have a sweetheart table (more about that coming up soon!).

So now, with the much better quality photos—what do you think!? Can you see how we’re planning to use minimal decor to pull off the rustic, romantic vibe we’re going for?
So pretty–I can totally see the romantic/rustic look coming together!
@Mrs. Marmalade: Thank you! My photos just did not do it justice, especially the barn. I’m in love!
very pretty-and I love the simple decor ideas, and that it’s included-bonus! it will turn out amazing-hope you post recaps of the big day!
Holy beautiful barn, batman! I’m so jealous, we dont have anything that rustic and amazing around here. Way to go Otter!
That barn is just amazing, the perfect place for your romantic/rustic wedding!
I love the lighting of the barn, it looks fantastic.
Oh my gosh, it’s gorgeous! You’re so lucky that the lights and lanterns come with the venue!!
@babbot: I promise to write recaps! We’re going to have too many amazing photos to not post them. 
@MissSpark: This is one of those times that living in Indiana has paid off! We’re in love with the barn!
@Mrs. Dragon, @Miss Toadstool, @Mrs. Fox, @Mrs. Pony: Thank you ALL for the compliments! We love the lights – I’m so glad that they’re now a permanent fixture!
@Mrs. Sunhat: Thank you! The renovations are stunning – so much better than I could have anticipated 
@ChicagoDreamer: Thank you!
Mrs. Otter, Indianapolis, IN Age and Occupation: 22, Freelance Social Media Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, CVS Shift Supervisor Engagement Date: November 11, 2011 Wedding Date: April 2013 Venue: Mustard Seed Gardens About Me: I'm a born and raised Hoosier girl, but a diehard Michigan Wolverines fan. I have a tendency to take too many photos and spend full days having TV marathons. Mr. Otter and I met in high school, started dating a couple years later, and moved in after a month of being official. He is easygoing and makes plans on a whim, while I'm color coordinating my planner and organizing everything in sight. He hates glitter, but it's my favorite thing. I have tattoos and he still won't get one, despite my attempts to convince him. We're planning a small, rustic, and (hopefully!) peony-filled wedding to get our married life started. (And yes, there will be glitter involved!)
