🌸 Event Flow Made Effortless 🌸
At The Flower Barn, we know that the flow of your wedding day matters.

Our ceremony pavilion is where it all begins — a beautiful, timber frame structure that combines timeless aesthetics with protection from the elements. Whether sunshine or rain, it sets the perfect stage for saying “I do.” From there, guests can easily move into cocktail hour and on to your reception, creating a natural flow that keeps the celebration joyful and relaxed. ✨

Less stress. More celebration. Exactly how your wedding day should be. 💍🥂

🌻I have some of the cutest sunflowers for our couple to use this weekend!! 🌻

I've had to downsize the sunflower planting and put it behind a fence due to the hungry deer population. 🦌

Last year we planted over 5 acres and probably a couple acres more in other spots thinking they would eat those and not the main field. Nope. Wrong! We maybe had 30 or 40 sunflowers left that bloomed. They wiped them completely out!

So, if you are wondering about our sunflower field, it just wasn't worth the time and money to see 20 to 30 deer have a sunflower buffet every day!

Maybe some day I might get to do a big field again but for now I'm just happy I was able to keep some from the little munchers!
