Your fairytale wedding begins now! If you’ve just gotten engaged and are dreaming of a celebration that’s as magical as the love story you share, there are a few key elements to consider when planning your special day. Many brides dream of feeling like a princess on their wedding day, and the setting plays a huge role in creating the fairytale feel.
Adding Fairytale Elements to Your Wedding

Incorporating whimsical details and personalized décor can transform your day into a true fairytale. Think twinkling lights, vintage chandeliers, and lush florals. Consider a grand entrance with a horse-drawn carriage or a ceremony location surrounded by nature for that magical, enchanted forest vibe. Personalized touches like handwritten vows or a grand floral wedding cake add to the charm, while subtle elements like soft warm lighting or draped flowing fabrics create the dreamlike atmosphere you’ve always imagined for your big day.
Choosing the Perfect Venue

When it comes to your fairytale wedding, the venue sets the tone. Couples are increasingly drawn to unique locations like The English Barn, a charming castle-inspired venue in South Johnson County. This fairytale wedding venue offers an abundance of photo opportunities, from the rustic elegance of wooden beams in the Grand Hall to the picturesque outdoor spaces. Whether it’s a ceremony with sweeping views of the lake, or a cozy reception in the courtyard in front of a stone fireplace, a venue with charm makes your special day even more memorable. You can easily envision making an entrance down the staircase into the Grand Hall after a fairytale wedding ceremony in this timeless setting surrounded by nature.
Involving the Groom: The Grooms Room

Traditionally, wedding planning has been seen as the bride’s domain, but more and more grooms are getting involved in their big day. At The English Barn, the groom’s room is a luxurious, elegant space where the groom and his groomsmen can relax before the ceremony. Designed with comfort and style in mind, this space brings a timeless feel to the entire experience.
