Heather and Dale at Bridle Oaks

It's been too long since I did a blog post! I guess things have been

VERY busy at the barn. I've been meeting with so many upcoming 

brides, helping to plan weddings, feeding chickens, cleaning up… 

time has just passed by. 

Last night we probably had the BEST wedding YET!

Why… you ask? Well.. mostly because the people make a wedding,

and all of Heathers guests made it a fun and memorable night.

But also… it's  because Heather took our advice and used the best vendors

we know.  It made the night beautiful, seamless, memorable, and most of all.. fun!

Julia from Julia's Floral Design  did an incredible job with the flowers

and there were a LOT of them … It was amazing!!

DJ Phil  did a most excellent job with the DJ'ing and music. He made

sure he had guests out on the dance floor all night… they even had a

lip sync battle! 4 Rivers did the catering. Food was hot, delicious and ready to go. 

They also clean up everything… which saves everyone a ton of work.

J & T was bartending. Our favorite bartenders who are ready and willing

to lend a hand anytime with anything. I only took a few photos, 

but please view them. What a great night! 

Congratulations to Heather and Dale, who now jet off to

exciting ICELAND for their honeymoon!! 

BBRRR ! Snuggle up and have fun! 

Barn Blessing and Misc photos ! { www.bridleoaksbarn.com}

Wanted to share some photos with you from this past Sunday

out at Bridle Oaks Barn. We had a barn blessing from Pastor Mike

Coleman. It was very special. We had approximately 65 close

friends and family attend our ceremony. The best part was the

pot-luck afterwards! Pastor Coleman may also hold random

Sunday morning church services out at the altar during the year. 

I'll keep you posted for a schedule. 

We are counting down the days to our first wedding, Sept 5th !

I believe we have 16 days left to finish our work and get all

the last minute details in place. Crunch Time! 

By the way, many have been asking about our website.

We DO have a website up at:
www.bridleoaksbarn.com 

Please check it out ! 

We're officially 30 days out !! Updates to Bridle Oaks Barn… { Deland Rustic Venue}

Wow! What a busy couple of weeks. There have been so many things

happening at the barn, I have to apologize for not updating you guys

sooner! I've been working out there everyday, and usually when I 

get home it's a mad rush to get every one fed and settled for the evening. 

Today, Ashley and I (my sister in law, partner in crime, and awesome

day-of planner) really worked hard to get some things finished up.

We hung market lighting in the seated areas of the barn, laid over

20 bales of pine needles in walking areas, moved sod, created a walkway

to the fire pit, met with our linen lady and created lots of havoc and fun !  

Here are some photos of the lighting in the barn, the restroom area (with tin roof accent)

some of the landscaping (not finished) and some other misc photos.

Please forgive quality, they were taken on my phone.

I'll check in again when we have some pavered walkways 

finished later this week ! 

Linens and More.. {Bridle Oaks Barn} {Central Florida Barn Venue}

Alight Folks, this will be the last post from our stylized shoot.

This one features the linens from Lynn at

Linens and More  and table design from Ashley,  our day-of coordinator

 and all around amazing decorator.  She designed and decorated 

this table for our shoot. The flowers are from Julia at Julia's Floral Design

It's always good to have vendors close to our venue, and all these

ladies are in Deland. Lynn offers free pickup and delivery of all

linens for your wedding at Bridle Oaks. Ashley will help

you organize, decorate, take down and most importantly, 

keep your wedding running on time and help to move

your guests to the areas where they are needed. The worst thing is cutting

your cake with no one around because they are wandering 

all over the property ! Keep things organized on on track with 

our day-of coordinator, it will be the best decision you will make! 

Here, also are some extra photos from our shoot by the 

talented Alice of Alice's Art Gallery…

Ok… How to contain myself…

Been wanting to post this since we did our 

stylized shoot ! I was recommended to use Julia, of Julia's Floral Design 

from a friend in the wedding industry, and a fellow Deland resident.

I can't tell you how happy I am to know her and to have found her. 

I only wish I could use her exclusively for our brides! (maybe someday)

She did a STUNNING job on the flowers for our shoot and she was

incredibly generous, patient and worked so hard for us. I can't

say enough good about Julia and my experience with her. She is a 

true talent and gem in this industry, and I wholly recommend her 

for any bride who gets married at Bridle Oaks, or anywhere! 

C'mon ya'll…. she used artichokes in an arrangement !!

How cool is that! 

The bouquet was absolutely gorgeous, so romantic and Southern,

which is exactly the look we were going for. 

And the table centerpiece….. AH!!

She put it on a pedestal ! So pretty… 

Anyway, Julia's amazing, !!  Enjoy looking at the rest of the photos.
