Barn Wood Signs are a great wedding day detail you can do yourself.

Who doesn’t LOVE the rustic look of home-made barn wood signs for your wedding or any event that could use a bit of cohesive labeling. I was inspired by all of the pinterest post of other weddings that got custom barn wood signs made for their event.

Step One: Find barn wood… In Amador County, the odds of finding good-looking barn wood is likely. Gather it, wash it, store it till you need it.

Step Two: Get all your sign needs together. Have a list of all the wording and spelling you require before you go at it with a paint brush.

Step Three: Select your paint color…. White is a safe choice but I think my next batch will feature a coral or sea-foam green. Also, pick up a smaller sized paint brush. Look in the trim brush section. Foam brushes will break most likely.

Step Four: Select the sizes of wood that fit your phrase or word, draw it out with some chalk if you need to.

Step Five: While taking your time, write out your words of choice and let dry!

This collection is available for rental for your next event! Additional signs are available by custom order. First Come First LOVE, $30.00 per event. Delivery fees may apply for non neighboring counties. Contact me today! molly@allenranchweddings.com or call 209.256.4876.

 

 

 

 

Stylized Wedding Shoot by Allen Ranch Weddings & Relish Photography

How fun is it to plan and set up a fake wedding? Amazingly fun! When I first started out last summer, my besty: Eryn Williard with Relish Photography and I dreamed up a grand idea to put together a stylized wedding photo shoot so that we could help build each others portfolios. So I began to plan.

I had to create a theme to follow, so I created what I would want to see on my wedding day. I chose a cute little location on my family-to-be’s ranch that included a very rustic looking barn, rocks and trees I’ve only ever seen in Sutter Creek, and all the cows and horses I could ask for. My black tie affair was in the works! I asked my closest friends that have become wedding professionals to help me out by donating their time and skills.

For starters, Relish Photography produced the lovely photos you all see every where I market. Kimberly Merrill with KMBeautification came out from the Bay Area to do hair and makeup for all the ladies. Katie Collins from Katie Cakes made for me the most delicious cup cakes and the foe cake you see here. Party Smart Rentals provided the tables, linens, and chairs. Perfect Scents provided the flowers that I arranged into the pretty bouquets and table arrangements. Two of my friends provided their good looks and smile that day (thank you Jamie and Marissa) The rest is history and beautiful!
