The Rise of the Warehouse Wedding
A challenger to the barn wedding—the reigning template for chic, relaxed celebrations—has emerged.
Amy Jones, a wedding planner in Connecticut, has seen the past decade of wedding trends play out both at work and in her own family. During what she describes as the most frenzied years of the “barn wedding” craze—the first half of the 2010s—she got married in a barn, and when her brother, seven years her junior, got married last year, his first choice of venue was a warehouse.
As the barn wedding graduates from quirky, rustic trend to , a new aesthetic is growing in popularity among marrying. It’s like a barn wedding for city dwellers, with exposed brick and lofty ceilings, plus beams bedazzled with hanging greenery and/or naked Edison light bulbs.
