Have you been dreaming of your Southern Minnesota Wedding, searching Pinterest and TikTok for inspiration and are falling in love with SO many different styles, colors and themes? We totally get it! The options are truly endless. A gorgeous color trend that started in 2024 and is taking over 2025 is BLUE! We absolutely love the color blue here, inside and outside of the barn. Blue is such a romantic color and compliments every element at The Barn at Ballard Creek.

“Something Blue, Something True” – Author Unknown

You may be wondering where Something Blue came from, I will be honest that I didn’t know the true meaning or story! It all originated from the Victorian-era poem that reads:”Something Olde, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in your Shoe,” who knew!? So using blue in your theme, for your bridesmaids or your flowers is a wonderful way to bring this long time tradition to your beautiful wedding day.

Tom and Sarah had the most beautiful wedding with blues that were just so absolutely perfect. The bridesmaids stunning, flowing blue dresses complimented the greens of the ceremony and Sarah’s extraordinary wedding dress. Sarah’s bouquet was simple and elegant and boasted fresh white roses, baby’s breath and eucalyptus. Sarah and Tom’s photographer took the most stunning photos throughout every moment of their wedding. She captured the groom’s cabin so perfectly and the smile on Tom’s face says it all! The Barn at Ballard Creek offers private getting ready spaces for our grooms and brides that are both climate controlled and give you and your bridal party a great experience from the time you get here on your big day!

With the day before to take care of all of your decorating, drop off food, drinks and other supplies as well as go through rehearsal, we take so much of the stress off of your plate. When your big day comes, you get to show up with your best friends and family, take a deep breath and prepare for your big day without any rushing around and stress because everything is all ready to go! These classic black and whites are so stunning and give you a glimpse into what your prep may look like here at your Souther Minnesota Wedding Venue – The Barn at Ballard Creek.
