A rustic wedding at the Old Wheat Barn

Charming Rustic Wedding Venue: A Perfect Backdrop for an Unforgettable Day

If you're dreaming of a rustic, countryside wedding with a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, this beautiful venue called The Old Wheat Barn might be just what you’re looking for. Nestled in the scenic Lincolnshire countryside attached to a working farm called the Pink Pig, this venue offers a harmonious blend of natural elegance, with its traditional stone walls, wooden accents, and cosy, inviting setup. Here's a closer look at the magic this wedding venue can bring to your special day.


My job as a wedding photographer was made effortless by the abundance of ideal photo opportunities available. The bohemian theme chosen by Matthew and Alesha harmonized perfectly with the venue.



1. The Setting and Venue Decor

The Old Wheat Barn offers a serene and picturesque setting, perfect for couples who want to embrace the beauty of nature. The stone building, with its weathered look, exudes character and provides an elegant rustic charm. The indoor dining area is beautifully decorated with fairy lights draping across the ceiling, creating a warm, romantic ambiance. Long wooden tables adorned with delicate white table runners, natural floral arrangements, and soft candlelight bring an organic, vintage charm to the setup. Each table setting is simple yet thoughtfully designed, letting the beauty of the natural materials take centre stage.


2. Unique Decor Touches

Every corner of this venue has been thoughtfully curated. Alesha chose a mirror welcome sign framed with dried pampas grass and neutral-toned flowers, lending a soft, boho feel right at the entrance. The seating chart is creatively displayed on a rustic wooden easel, giving guests an easy, stylish guide to find their seats. These small but impactful decor elements enhance the overall theme and give a personal touch to the experience.


3. Outdoor Fun and Entertainment

The outdoor space adds to the charm, providing a perfect area for guests to mingle, play, and enjoy the fresh air. Children and adults alike can enjoy lawn games like giant Jenga, creating lighthearted fun and wonderful memories.


Matt and Alesha, who have two children, aimed to make their wedding equally enjoyable for their little ones.


A charming mobile bar setup outside serves as a gathering point, offering refreshing drinks with a view of the open fields and sky, giving everyone a chance to unwind and celebrate the day.


4. Dining Experience

The dining experience here is as intimate as it is delightful. The tables are set with rustic charm, featuring hearty dishes served family-style, allowing everyone to share and enjoy the meal together. The simple, wholesome food, paired with beautiful plating, reflects the down-to-earth vibe of the venue, making every moment feel like a cherished family gathering. The crowd pleasing pizzas for the evening guests are a real treat and sets the mood for the evening party.


5. Capturing Memorable Moments

This venue provides countless picture-perfect backdrops. We strolled through the grassy fields and managed to take some beautiful couple shots. There are so many opportunities to take romantic photos in the nearby fields or among the rustic stone walls, capturing the natural beauty surrounding them. The black-and-white shot of the bride and groom dancing is especially striking, showcasing the elegance of the bride's flowing lace gown against the rustic backdrop. The entire setting, from the fields to the cozy indoor areas, provides a variety of backdrops that help preserve the magic of the day in each photograph.


6. Perfect for an Intimate and Relaxed Celebration

This venue strikes a perfect balance between elegance and laid-back charm, making it ideal for couples who want a relaxed celebration filled with joy and connection. The choice of minimalistic decor, natural elements, and simple yet elegant touches create a welcoming and warm atmosphere that makes guests feel right at home.


In summary, this rustic wedding venue offers everything you’d want for a memorable countryside wedding: stunning natural beauty, intimate spaces for celebration, and thoughtful, charming decor that brings out the best of a rustic theme. For couples looking for a warm, nature-inspired celebration with an intimate, family-style dining experience, this venue is the ideal backdrop for your love story.
