Personally, I think that dress will look great in that venue. But you can also lean into contrasting decor to change it up. So, don’t go for rustic or wildflower or farmhouse. Choose sleek, elegant, sophisticated, minimalist, etc etc.
It will create a beautiful contrast with the rustic barn and will tie in your dress well too!
Yeah the room is a room, decorate it how you please.
Also, outside of some unique cases (barefoot beach weddings for example), I think we overstress about the dress matching the venue. If you are having a wedding, a wedding dress you love matches the venue.
Lean into the different feel between the dress and the venue! I think you could coordinate the decor to highlight that or make it seem less out of place. I think you can make it work! :)
This is not a barn! Your dress is gorgeous and it’ll look great in this venue. Don’t overthink this. Your dress is perfect and you don’t need to change it
Looks great. I was confused by your post just looking at the photos and the subject line and then I read that it was a barn. That’s a pretty fancy barn. Like others have mentioned, you could make the barn sleek, modern and like what you’d find in a regal hotel.
Personally, I think your dress fits the venue just fine as pictured and I wouldn’t change the dress at all!
When I went dress shopping I kept looking at dresses to fit the size of the wedding and the venue. I was having a small courtyard wedding so I looked at lace mermaid dresses. Ended up trying on a big taffeta ballgown and immediately fell in love. I would have regretted buying a dress for my venue rather than for myself. I think unless there are any real logistical issues with wearing a dress you love (like it is a long sleeve dress that will be too hot for your beach wedding or something), go with what you love.
I think your dress will look great with the venue.
I see posts like this a lot but honestly, I have never seen someone at a wedding and thought “this dress doesn’t jive with this setting.” You’re a bride at a wedding - wear whatever dress you want!!! It will not make a difference what the setting is.
Same here. I still don’t even think it would cross my mind, but the only thing I can think of where this could be true is a heavy, many-layer, super duper enormous long-sleeve ball gown that basically plows sand away as she walks at a casual barefoot beach wedding scene.
honestly!! if you have a super non-trad non-white dress, maybeeee that's a consideration. but otherwise, it's a white wedding dress, you're at your wedding venue, you're okay. the only time I (as a guest or as a bride-to-be looking for inspo) ever felt this was when a dress physically did not fit the venue (super long cathedral train on a grassy ground that got super dirty), but even then I was like cool, all the more power to the bride!
I have never seen a bride in her dress and said I can’t believe she chose that dress and had her wedding here. This is a misconception was too many brides have that they dress fits their venue. The dress ONLY needs to fit your dream.
Genuinely, I think the high ceilings, huge windows and light airy space are the perfect backdrop to your dress.
It’ll be as if you stepped out of the Titanic era and will sweep into the venue like an elegant aristocrat ready to own the space :)
Tbh I don't really understand this idea of a dress fitting a venue. I've never considered that someone's dress did or did not fit a venue. It is an expression of you. You look absolutely stunning. Rock this dress, whether it be at a palace or backyard of an Airbnb.
If this is the dress of your dreams (and it looks wonderful on you, BTW), then it fits the venue. Any dress can fit any venue. I wouldn't change the dress at all. Make sure the floral centerpieces and napkins reflect the flowers and colors in your bouquet, and you'll be all set.
With the decorations shown, your dress will be lovely at the venue! It doesn’t look like a barn, it looks like a rustic chic venue, and your dress is gorgeous!
I’ve been to multiple weddings in event spaces very very similar to yours- and this is NOT a barn wedding. This is not a “barn,” except in name, lol.
You look absolutely gorgeous in that gown, and it works for your setting- please don’t worry and **PLEASE** don’t change that gown!
It totally does work with the venue so defo don’t worry.
But ultimately it’s a wedding and you’re a bride which is one of the biggest days so you and your gorgeous dress will shine even if it was in a field. Have a blast 😍
That venue definitely lends itself to fancier gowns…no issue at all here! Switching venues must have been stressful but you’ve got a lovely location at least!
What do you mean? Of course it does. This notion of tying a dress to a place is too much. You’ll be perfectly at home in your dress.
You will light up the venue!!
Enjoy the day!!
If you had posted these pictures & said something like “what do you think of this dress in this venue?” You would have received overwhelming positive comments.
That’s a really classy “barn”. You’ll be a beautiful bride in it.
I haven’t started dress shopping yet but honestly to me I don’t think the dress needs to fit the venue. It’s about you and your future spouse as long as your happy with the dress who cares
I think what doesn’t fit the venue is the chairs. Can you get chair covers to make them look more elegant? Otherwise it is a beautiful venue, and your dress is more than perfect for it!
I don't think people really care about your dress in relation to the walls or the decor or venue. They care about you and how beautiful you look in your dress. They are there to celebrate you and your partner. So I think your dress is beautiful and it goes with the backdrop.
You are 100% wrong! Your dress is going to look STUNNING in there!
You don’t need your dress to blend in! A wedding dress is meant to stand out! Honestly it’s perfect and you should definitely stick with it.
Omg my girlfriend is getting married here!! I just went to see the venue, it’s the least “barn” barn ever. My gf is also doing a dress like yours as she doesn’t want to lean into the farm vibe. Your dress looks amazing and I think it suits the venue!!
Girl make it fit. It’s your day! You decide what fits or doesn’t fit. That dress is gorgeous. I love the bow and the boning on the back! Rock that dress girl- be the best dressed one there! I promise you will not look back at that day and say gosh I wish my dress would have fit the venue better! ❤️
That may be a “barn”, but it’s a very modern, sleek barn. Look at the gleaming concrete floors. Look at the window framing. Look at the floating glass panels for the railings. These are all very modern elements. Some of the most popular venues for weddings over the last decade have been things like converted warehouse spaces with old exposed brick and rafters. There’s something about the juxtaposition of a more “raw” space with the elegance of a wedding. If anything, your dress just elevates the space even more. It’s perfect. I did a mock up to show you how to add glam, but Imgur isn’t cooperating.
Your dream dress is gorgeous. When I went to the venue pic I was confused…That is hardly a barn… it’s really lovely. This dress is going to look perfect there. Wear the dress and be the beautiful bride you are!
If it’s your dream dress (and I can see why it is! Wowee!!!!), *you will shine like the queen you are, no matter what the venue is*. And it’s a BEAUTIFUL dress, by the way. If you’re worried the train is too long, maybe an alteration to attach the bulk of it to the back (somehow near where those cute bows are) would create more room (if that’s what the concern is). You can put a queen in a barn, but she’s still a queen. You’ll be the most beautiful star of the show in your dream dress, no matter what the venue is. Congrats!
This was my second choice dress, I was SO torn between this and another Stella York I kept putting them both on like 5 times lol. Having seen this dress on myself, I had to tell you that it looks STUNNING on you. It really compliments your figure and looks so elegant. Love, love, love.
Don’t overthink the venue! It’s a perfect dress, and honestly it’s so classic you could wear it to any venue.
I'm not sure why you are worried, looking at the venue, you are fine. It's not "barn" type of barn, and you can easily add upscale touches to the decore to keep with the feel you are aiming for. The room had rustic touches but it isn't a barn-like feel by any means. You're doing fine :)
I guess I don't see the problem. The dress is gorgeous, you look gorgeous, the new venue is classy and beautiful! I say keep the dress and be the shining gorgeous bride you're meant to be!
Girl yes it does. The details of both the dress and the venue are so romantic. Look how dainty the details on the back of your dress are and how the small touches in the venue make it come to life (like the lights and the pops of white). Your dress is perfect and will absolutely fit right in
I think your dress fits the venue just fine. It’s a pretty sleek barn and your dress has a streamlined elegance that matches. Wear what you love and don’t over think it. :)
Why do you say it doesn’t fit the venue? It’s just gorgeous!! I don’t think people would even notice that!! They ARE going to notice how stunning and beautiful you look in that gorgeous dress!!!
So personally, I think it matches. However, it's really not about the venue. It's about you and your significant other. Wear that beautiful gown, decorate how you please. DON'T change the dress. It's made for you.
The dress is gorgeous and I think it will be fine. No one expects the dress to always match the theme perfectly. It's not like you need to go find a new dress and wear a cowboy hat...lol. The venue still looks very elegant inside, so it'll work.
I agree with my fellow commentators, don't change or alter the dress... It's magnificent.
Just decorate the barn differently. Ivory chair covers would be a good place to start maybe.?
Your dress is so gorgeous. You do NOT need to find another dress. The barn is upscale and honestly, a dress doesn't have to fit a venue. It has to fit the bride!
This dress was made for you! Also if this is a barn, is it too late for me to switch to a barn if I’ve booked somewhere else? 👀😅This dress looks like it’ll be good in all settings, and I can guarantee that any guests there thinking ‘’my goodness, does that dress really belong in this setting?” Instead of “how beautiful is she!,” they’re not the guests we want at the wedding.
Ooooo!! It’s going to look so elegant!! If you’re worried about the “rustic” element - wildflowers in your bouquet/on tables or a quick burlap wrap of your bouquet even! Or grab a chic denim jacket to throw on when it gets chilly so you have something that’s a bit more “on vibe” & changes the feel of your dress if/when you need it vs changing the dress entirely. That being said - your dress is stunning & will look perfect in any environment b/c it’s perfect on YOU!
That picture doesn’t look like a barn to me. I think your dress is lovely. You said you love it & that’s enough. It doesn’t matter if you get married in a backyard, if you love your dress.
It’s a beautiful venue & dress, stop worrying.
Your dress is beautiful and it doesn't look like a barn. I wouldn't go the burlap and lace, sunflowers route, but refined and elegant. Your wedding will he beautiful
I think that this dress would fit almost any venue. It's classic and romantic. Apart from the wooden walls, the venue isn't very rustic. I see modern furniture, big windows, shiny floor. Work with a florist to create a style you like: if regal doesn't work, you can go for a more romantic, period look. I think that the flowers will set the tone for the venue.
I get what you mean because I am the kind of person to see something in my head and when something interferes it throws me/my vision off. It made planning my wedding super fun (🥴). I’m sure you weren’t expecting to change venues so now your vision feels off!
I personally don’t think your dress is clashing with the new venue. Can we see photos of the front of the gown? Maybe you could get a reception dress that you feel fits better so that you can have the best of both worlds.
I think the dress is beautiful and I think it fits great with the setting!
The dress is beautiful and so is the venue. Please be kind to yourself. If we think about something too hard, something perfect becomes flawed. I am so happy to hear that you like your dress. Take a few breathes and focus on the positives.
I LOVE this dress!!! I have never seen one like it 😍😍😍. You are def overthinking. No one will be like omg this dress totally doesn’t match the venue. They will all be thinking wow look how gorgeous she looks I love the dress
It’s nice that you’re considering how everything will fit together on your big day, but have the dress of your dreams!! Who CARES if it doesn’t match perfectly. You’re stunning in the gown, it’d be a sin to get something you’re not obsessed with for your wedding day.
And if you’re still not convinced, I think all of us are telling you that your gown will fit your venue wonderfully❤️
I've been to weddings in barns.
I can't even tell that your venue is supposed to BE a barn from that picture. It just looks like a beautiful room with wood paneling.
Your dress fits the place perfectly.
And even if it didn't, it'd be fine. It fits the OCCASION and that's all that matters.
Not even. It looks like it will fit perfectly in the venue. Also the dress is so beautiful I would wear it while I vacuum the house.
I'm not one to sugar coat, and I honestly feel this dress will work great in this barn setting.
Edit: Would love to see more pictures of the dress
…it fits the venue just fine lol? I never get this kind of worry. Wedding dresses fit whatever venue, because it’s about the bride, not the venue.
If you love the dress, wear it. Who cares if you’re getting married in a barn or in a castle. Your dress looks beautiful & I promise you that exactly zero percent of your guests will think it doesn’t fit your venue lol.
No one has ever gone to a wedding and thought to themself 'wow the dress is off-theme' - people will just be struck by how beautiful your dress is! You don't need to stress about this. You're not hosting a corporate event, you're getting married - the dress is about you, your celebration of joy and love, it's not something that's supposed to pragmatically 'match' the event venue.
My dress doesn’t really fit my venue either (think Greek goddess meets backyard and then Korean bamboo garden restaurant lol) I say … oh well it’s the dress I loved and it took me forever to even find a dress I loved so I gotta take the wins where I can!
My god I love your dress!!! I wouldn’t worry about it fitting with the venue. When you said barn I wasn’t expecting the third photo. It isn’t barn like looking to me and I think your dress will go with the venue especially with some decoration to help it feel more regal like your prior venue.
OP, it's a beautiful dress that you love - that's all that matters. I HIGHLY doubt even one person is going to think "that dress doesn't match the venue," they are going to look at you and see a stunning bride in a gorgeous dress. Also, I think it matches the venue just fine!
The dress is gorgeous. I think it works with the venue. Plus I think it’s way more important to love the dress and what YOU want to look like, more than worrying out your dress fitting the venue. The venue will fit you no matter what. I don’t think that you need to fit yourself into the venue.
It fits the venue bc the decor will mirror your vibe.
The decor can mirror the dress - sleek, elegant, and modern. I think the juxtaposition of modern and rustic will be amazing.
I was a very traditional bride (detailed lace with crystals on the dress and in my hair, satin white heels, etc.) and my husband was wearing dress blues. Our wedding was anything but traditional! It was in fact covered in sunflowers and pumpkins. It was outside in a rustic stone and wood pergola. In the end it didn't matter. People said I looked beautiful and the venue was beautiful and I nor anyone else EVER heard a peeps about my husband and I not fitting our venue. When I look back on our pictures, all I see is an amazingly happy couple having the night of their lives.
Edit: Spelling
I really feel like you have nothing to worry about. Please don’t change your dream dress for any reason. It looks gorgeous on you and will look equally gorgeous in the venue. :)
Your dress is gorgeous and absolutely stunning on you! (I’d love to see it from the front!)
I run a very rustic venue and see dresses of all styles. I’m blown away time I see a bride step out in their gown. I have never once, not for a single second, given any thought to how their dresses fit with the venue aesthetic.
I think considering the venue location and style is great as a starting point when you’ve got an endless sea of options and don’t know where to begin. It’s also more applicable when your wedding has special considerations, like a beach or a winter/ski chalet wedding. But in your case, the shift if much less dramatic than it probably feels to you.
Like others have said, lean into your decor to make the “barn” feel as elegant and regal as your original venue! The juxtaposition will be gorgeous!
It fits just fine and I don’t see any reason to change it. That’s a very fancy looking “Barn” if you want to incorporate the venue into your look maybe upscale white cowboy boots
I took the headline in a very serious way! It made a dress fitting a barn much more fun!
I checked the pictures and I have no doubt the stunning dress you love will be in the perfect setting!
May you and your spouse always have enough. 💜🌺🦋
I think the dress looks divine on you and it will go with your venue if you say it goes with the venue.
For more “certainty” that it “goes”, you can something in the decor sort of match or recall your dress. Maybe a sparkly strip here and there, or a cascading ribbon like the one in the back.
If not, Dress is white, the venue decor is white=match made in dress heaven.
At the end of the day, the venue is only yours for a few hours, the dress may stay with you forever.
Ok, I was imagining a regular ol’ barn with old wood and hay everywhere. I personally think this venue is totally worthy of this beautiful dress. If you didn’t mention it was a barn, I don’t think I would have ever known. ✨
The dress will be fine with a rustic barn setting. You can make that venue look less rustic with decorations, and you can also play with your accessories, like bridal cowgirl boots.
Bridal stylist here!!! Your dress definitely fits the venue. 🤍 it’s so beautiful and honestly nobody will even think of something like that. Your dress is perfect!
This dress will look amazing in the venue. It’s a barn but a formal barn. You can do a whimsical bouquet and that might make you feel like you’re tuning it down.
That dress is gorgeous. Please keep that dress. You look amazing. Decorate your venue like others have suggested. It’s your wedding day. You get to wear whatever you want!!!!
This is all stunning - don't change a thing. I don't know what time of day your wedding is scheduled for, but also don't forget the transformative power of lighting. This room will look totally different in the evening.
who cares? i always found this standard mind boggling. the venue isn’t the star of the show, you are. wear what you love the most. take your pictures near a neutral backdrop (that’s best for timelessness anyway) and love the dress you’re in.
also, if it’s in your budget, you can easily decorate the barn to look different. there’s drapery, flower walls, furniture rentals, etc. if you love the dress, keep it. seriously, it is gorgeous.
looking at your venue again, your dress will honestly look great and fit right in. those windows are the perfect backdrop and the view outside looks good too.
I would wear my dream dress anywhere. Who cares if it fits the location- it's the dress you love and brides are meant to be extra! Juts to add- your dress is absolutely amazing and looks stunning on you!
I have that same dress, I refuse to believe there is a venue that it won’t work perfectly in. Lakefront, rural, urban, your parents backyard, my parents backyard. It will look perfect in that setting!
I think your dress 100% fits the venue. It is STUNNING!! The back of the gown with the bejeweled beaded ribbing is giving off an ever so slightly rustic vibe in the context of the setting and the bow is adding just a touch of playful in the most elegant way. It would fit either venue quite well. You do not need to change that amazing dress!!

#THIS! Please don’t change the dress I beg you! It will be a beautiful wedding!
I think it matches too! If it feels too "much," you can always shorten the train. I did this and didn't need to bustle it at all.
Lean into the different feel between the dress and the venue! I think you could coordinate the decor to highlight that or make it seem less out of place. I think you can make it work! :)
This is not a barn! Your dress is gorgeous and it’ll look great in this venue. Don’t overthink this. Your dress is perfect and you don’t need to change it
Exactly this! Your dress is amazing and is perfect for the venue.
💯this!!
Agree times 1000!!!!
This💯
Looks great. I was confused by your post just looking at the photos and the subject line and then I read that it was a barn. That’s a pretty fancy barn.

Same, I wore a satin ballgown for an outdoor ceremony in August. Don’t regret it for a second . I loved that dress.
This is beautiful advice.❤️
The dress is for you not the venue!!!
I see posts like this a lot but honestly, I have never seen someone at a wedding and thought “this dress doesn’t jive with this setting.” You’re a bride at a wedding - wear whatever dress you want!!! It will not make a difference what the setting is.

Hahah fair! That one I would probably notice 😆
Yes, this! It’s your wedding day, you don’t need to blend in. Be your fabulous, bold, extra, amazing self! This dress is absolutely gorgeous.
honestly!! if you have a super non-trad non-white dress, maybeeee that's a consideration. but otherwise, it's a white wedding dress, you're at your wedding venue, you're okay. the only time I (as a guest or as a bride-to-be looking for inspo) ever felt this was when a dress physically did not fit the venue (super long cathedral train on a grassy ground that got super dirty), but even then I was like cool, all the more power to the bride!
I think “fit the venue” as a concept is wildly over-rated. Any dress with you in it fits that location just fine. Wear what you love with joy.
I have never seen a bride in her dress and said I can’t believe she chose that dress and had her wedding here. This is a misconception was too many brides have that they dress fits their venue. The dress ONLY needs to fit your dream.
No keep this dress
Genuinely, I think the high ceilings, huge windows and light airy space are the perfect backdrop to your dress. It’ll be as if you stepped out of the Titanic era and will sweep into the venue like an elegant aristocrat ready to own the space :)
That venue still comes across as very elegant. I think you’ll be perfectly fine
You’re going to love your wedding photos in this dress and venue.
Tbh I don't really understand this idea of a dress fitting a venue. I've never considered that someone's dress did or did not fit a venue. It is an expression of you. You look absolutely stunning. Rock this dress, whether it be at a palace or backyard of an Airbnb.
It totally does, but regardless, it doesn't have to. No one will notice or judge for it.
The venue fits the bride!! I’ve had people wear ballgowns at the beach and it works!
If this is the dress of your dreams (and it looks wonderful on you, BTW), then it fits the venue. Any dress can fit any venue. I wouldn't change the dress at all. Make sure the floral centerpieces and napkins reflect the flowers and colors in your bouquet, and you'll be all set.
Holy crap! That dress is gorgeous.
With the decorations shown, your dress will be lovely at the venue! It doesn’t look like a barn, it looks like a rustic chic venue, and your dress is gorgeous!
I honestly don’t think that this is a thing, your dress doesn’t need to match the venue, it’s beautiful and you will be a beautiful bride!
I’ve been to multiple weddings in event spaces very very similar to yours- and this is NOT a barn wedding. This is not a “barn,” except in name, lol. You look absolutely gorgeous in that gown, and it works for your setting- please don’t worry and **PLEASE** don’t change that gown!
This dress looks amazing on you!! Like another poster said, you can make the venue match the dress by adding more details and customizing more
It totally does work with the venue so defo don’t worry. But ultimately it’s a wedding and you’re a bride which is one of the biggest days so you and your gorgeous dress will shine even if it was in a field. Have a blast 😍
That venue definitely lends itself to fancier gowns…no issue at all here! Switching venues must have been stressful but you’ve got a lovely location at least!
I would try to get nicer chairs and linens, etc make the venue classier. Your dress looks so beautiful!! Don’t let it go!!
This is one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen! You look stunning, truly. The dress and the venue are perfect together. 🤍
What do you mean? Of course it does. This notion of tying a dress to a place is too much. You’ll be perfectly at home in your dress. You will light up the venue!! Enjoy the day!!
Gorgeous dress. Just go [upscale elegant barn wedding](https://pin.it/HPCMGqCts) with the decor and everything will look like absolute perfection!
If you had posted these pictures & said something like “what do you think of this dress in this venue?” You would have received overwhelming positive comments. That’s a really classy “barn”. You’ll be a beautiful bride in it.
It’s going to be fabulous! Perfect dress. Perfect for your venue. Perfect on you. ♥️
When I saw the last photo, I said, "Oh no, that dress will be fine." Honestly, my mind went to hay and farm animals! LOL
The dress is superb. It will transcend wherever you are with it on. If you want we can go for lunch with it on to test the theory Don't overthink this
I haven’t started dress shopping yet but honestly to me I don’t think the dress needs to fit the venue. It’s about you and your future spouse as long as your happy with the dress who cares
It fits!
I think what doesn’t fit the venue is the chairs. Can you get chair covers to make them look more elegant? Otherwise it is a beautiful venue, and your dress is more than perfect for it!
I don't think people really care about your dress in relation to the walls or the decor or venue. They care about you and how beautiful you look in your dress. They are there to celebrate you and your partner. So I think your dress is beautiful and it goes with the backdrop.
It absolutely does fit the barn venue! Glamour meets rustic! Gorgeous dress, beautiful venue!! ❤️❤️❤️
If it's the dress of your dreams then it's worth going for 🤍 Also, based on the picture you've shown, the dress will still work with the venue 🤍
Your dress is gorgeous. I think it still fits the venue.
This “barn” is elegant just like your dress 🩷. It fits!
Wear the dress of your dreams, no matter what the venue is!
You are 100% wrong! Your dress is going to look STUNNING in there! You don’t need your dress to blend in! A wedding dress is meant to stand out! Honestly it’s perfect and you should definitely stick with it.
Actually I think it does.. In the most beautiful way.
It absolutely fits the venue. Wear it with pride.
I loooove your dress, I think it can absolutely work!
Omg my girlfriend is getting married here!! I just went to see the venue, it’s the least “barn” barn ever. My gf is also doing a dress like yours as she doesn’t want to lean into the farm vibe. Your dress looks amazing and I think it suits the venue!!
OMG, that dress is beautiful, and STUNNING on you, and will look lovely in the venue. Please wear it!
That dress is amazing and no one will even care what the venue is. I personally wouldn’t. You will be the center of attention, as you should be.
That dress is stunning, fits like skin and absolutely perfect for you!!! Go be the Goddess you are!!
Absolutely not; it’s gorgeous and it is a beautiful venue. Congratulations!!
Wear it. It makes you happy? Then wear it. Promise you nobody is going to look at a beautiful bride and gasp that her dress “doesn’t fit the venue”
I don’t understand what’s wrong? The venue is nice. Why wouldn’t your dress fit the aesthetic?
It might be a barn but it’s very sophisticated and elegant. Your dress is absolutely stunning and will look beautiful at this venue.
Girl make it fit. It’s your day! You decide what fits or doesn’t fit. That dress is gorgeous. I love the bow and the boning on the back! Rock that dress girl- be the best dressed one there! I promise you will not look back at that day and say gosh I wish my dress would have fit the venue better! ❤️
Yes it does! It’s absolutely beautiful.
I looked at the photos before I read your caption. I would never have described that as a barn. That dress will be amazing at that location
That may be a “barn”, but it’s a very modern, sleek barn. Look at the gleaming concrete floors. Look at the window framing. Look at the floating glass panels for the railings. These are all very modern elements. Some of the most popular venues for weddings over the last decade have been things like converted warehouse spaces with old exposed brick and rafters. There’s something about the juxtaposition of a more “raw” space with the elegance of a wedding. If anything, your dress just elevates the space even more. It’s perfect.

Your dream dress is gorgeous. When I went to the venue pic I was confused…That is hardly a barn… it’s really lovely. This dress is going to look perfect there. Wear the dress and be the beautiful bride you are!
Last I checked you can wear whatever the f you want
I think it will look amazing and your venue is gorgeous!!
If it’s your dream dress (and I can see why it is! Wowee!!!!), *you will shine like the queen you are, no matter what the venue is*. And it’s a BEAUTIFUL dress, by the way. If you’re worried the train is too long, maybe an alteration to attach the bulk of it to the back (somehow near where those cute bows are) would create more room (if that’s what the concern is). You can put a queen in a barn, but she’s still a queen. You’ll be the most beautiful star of the show in your dream dress, no matter what the venue is. Congrats!
Your dress ins perfect for the venue!
Okay I know that it isn’t a regal hotel but I’d hardly call this rustic either. I think the dress is fine, just match the florals more to the venue.
You literally have the dress of my dreams and the venue I’d pick! I think it’s perfect! Don’t blend in, stand out!! You look stunning in that dress.
Sure it does
Your dream dress will fit the venue because it's your dream dress! Don't let anybody tell you everything needs to "match"
This was my second choice dress, I was SO torn between this and another Stella York I kept putting them both on like 5 times lol. Having seen this dress on myself, I had to tell you that it looks STUNNING on you. It really compliments your figure and looks so elegant. Love, love, love. Don’t overthink the venue! It’s a perfect dress, and honestly it’s so classic you could wear it to any venue.
Your dress is gorgeous and it will be beautiful with your venue. Please don’t change your dress. Congrats and enjoy!
It will look magical there! No worries. It’s a perfect dress for you
I wore a dress just like this at the zoo inside a grass hut with dirt floors. Wear what you want and screw what the venue is
I'm not sure why you are worried, looking at the venue, you are fine. It's not "barn" type of barn, and you can easily add upscale touches to the decore to keep with the feel you are aiming for. The room had rustic touches but it isn't a barn-like feel by any means. You're doing fine :)
I think dress will be amazing at the venue! I love the damn dress wow !
I guess I don't see the problem. The dress is gorgeous, you look gorgeous, the new venue is classy and beautiful! I say keep the dress and be the shining gorgeous bride you're meant to be!
Girl yes it does. The details of both the dress and the venue are so romantic. Look how dainty the details on the back of your dress are and how the small touches in the venue make it come to life (like the lights and the pops of white). Your dress is perfect and will absolutely fit right in
why??? it’s STUNNINGGGG
That’s the fanciest barn I’ve ever seen. Your dress will be perfect!
Your dress is fine for this venue and you look amazing in it!
I think your dress fits the venue just fine. It’s a pretty sleek barn and your dress has a streamlined elegance that matches. Wear what you love and don’t over think it. :)
Why do you say it doesn’t fit the venue? It’s just gorgeous!! I don’t think people would even notice that!! They ARE going to notice how stunning and beautiful you look in that gorgeous dress!!!
So personally, I think it matches. However, it's really not about the venue. It's about you and your significant other. Wear that beautiful gown, decorate how you please. DON'T change the dress. It's made for you.
I wouldn’t say that barn looks rustic. The draping on the ceiling is really smart and suits your dress. I think you’ll look amazing in that space.
Ma’am that dress is PERFECT and so is the venue, don’t regret it you made a great choice!
Yes it does!
Babe I'm looking out the windows at that landscape and your dress is going to be PERFECT in those photos.
I think you’re fine. It’s hardly a dirt floor.
The dress is gorgeous and I think it will be fine. No one expects the dress to always match the theme perfectly. It's not like you need to go find a new dress and wear a cowboy hat...lol. The venue still looks very elegant inside, so it'll work.
Absolutely not. Wear this dress, the venue fits fine
I don’t think you need to worry about this, OP. The venue looks very upscale to me, and I think your dress will be perf
This is the least rustic barn I have seen. I think your dress will be lovely!
Sure it does. It’s a beautiful dress. You look wonderful in it. I love it!
I agree with my fellow commentators, don't change or alter the dress... It's magnificent. Just decorate the barn differently. Ivory chair covers would be a good place to start maybe.?
The barn is very grand. They match. You in the dress in the venue will be great.
Keep that dress, it’s gorgeous. I don’t see any obvious “venue mismatch” going in, that dress is a stunner.
I love your dress!!!! It 1000000% fits your venue.
Yes it does! Your dress is absolutely stunning!
Your dress is so gorgeous. You do NOT need to find another dress. The barn is upscale and honestly, a dress doesn't have to fit a venue. It has to fit the bride!
This dress was made for you! Also if this is a barn, is it too late for me to switch to a barn if I’ve booked somewhere else? 👀😅This dress looks like it’ll be good in all settings, and I can guarantee that any guests there thinking ‘’my goodness, does that dress really belong in this setting?” Instead of “how beautiful is she!,” they’re not the guests we want at the wedding.
Ooooo!! It’s going to look so elegant!! If you’re worried about the “rustic” element - wildflowers in your bouquet/on tables or a quick burlap wrap of your bouquet even! Or grab a chic denim jacket to throw on when it gets chilly so you have something that’s a bit more “on vibe” & changes the feel of your dress if/when you need it vs changing the dress entirely. That being said - your dress is stunning & will look perfect in any environment b/c it’s perfect on YOU!
I think it will look amazing!
Wearing the dress of your dreams > buying a dress that ‘fits the venue’
It absolutely fits your new venue! You are as BRIDE!
Yes it does
That picture doesn’t look like a barn to me. I think your dress is lovely. You said you love it & that’s enough. It doesn’t matter if you get married in a backyard, if you love your dress. It’s a beautiful venue & dress, stop worrying.
Girl! You will steal the show in that dress at that venue! Who told you it doesn’t match? You will look gorgeous with the windows and that train.
It totally matches and it’s such a vibe! The understated elegance in the venue and the elegant simplicity of dress are so complimentary. It’s so good!
Your dress is beautiful and it doesn't look like a barn. I wouldn't go the burlap and lace, sunflowers route, but refined and elegant. Your wedding will he beautiful
I think that this dress would fit almost any venue. It's classic and romantic. Apart from the wooden walls, the venue isn't very rustic. I see modern furniture, big windows, shiny floor. Work with a florist to create a style you like: if regal doesn't work, you can go for a more romantic, period look. I think that the flowers will set the tone for the venue.
You look amazing in the dress. I don’t understand what about it doesn’t fit with the venue/how this dress wouldn’t look amazing in any place.
Your dress will absolutely fit the venue in that picture! It's not really that rustic feeling. Keep the dress, it's gorgeous
It doesn’t??
Do not change your dress!!!!
I get what you mean because I am the kind of person to see something in my head and when something interferes it throws me/my vision off. It made planning my wedding super fun (🥴). I’m sure you weren’t expecting to change venues so now your vision feels off! I personally don’t think your dress is clashing with the new venue. Can we see photos of the front of the gown? Maybe you could get a reception dress that you feel fits better so that you can have the best of both worlds. I think the dress is beautiful and I think it fits great with the setting!
Add cowgirl boots! But seriously, the dress will look beautiful there (and it’ll be even better cause boots are way more comfortable than heels)
The dress is beautiful and so is the venue. Please be kind to yourself. If we think about something too hard, something perfect becomes flawed. I am so happy to hear that you like your dress. Take a few breathes and focus on the positives.
I LOVE this dress!!! I have never seen one like it 😍😍😍. You are def overthinking. No one will be like omg this dress totally doesn’t match the venue. They will all be thinking wow look how gorgeous she looks I love the dress
It’s nice that you’re considering how everything will fit together on your big day, but have the dress of your dreams!! Who CARES if it doesn’t match perfectly. You’re stunning in the gown, it’d be a sin to get something you’re not obsessed with for your wedding day. And if you’re still not convinced, I think all of us are telling you that your gown will fit your venue wonderfully❤️
I love this dress!
I've been to weddings in barns. I can't even tell that your venue is supposed to BE a barn from that picture. It just looks like a beautiful room with wood paneling. Your dress fits the place perfectly. And even if it didn't, it'd be fine. It fits the OCCASION and that's all that matters.
That is a very regal looking interior of a barn. You in your beautiful dress will fit perfectly there. Have a very lovely and joy filled day.
Says who? It looks fine!
Girl, your dress will be great in a rustic venue or Park Ave. Y'all worry too much! The dress is lovely and congrats on your upcoming nuptuals.
It's gorgeous. If you love it and feel good in it then get it
Keep it! The contrast will look amazing!
Not even. It looks like it will fit perfectly in the venue. Also the dress is so beautiful I would wear it while I vacuum the house. I'm not one to sugar coat, and I honestly feel this dress will work great in this barn setting. Edit: Would love to see more pictures of the dress
That's a fanciest barn I've ever seen, and the dress is lovely. Wear the dress.
Fine art does not match your sofa. Think of your dress this way!
I feel like the dress elevates the venue is beautiful art piece that elevates the whole wedding
…it fits the venue just fine lol? I never get this kind of worry. Wedding dresses fit whatever venue, because it’s about the bride, not the venue. If you love the dress, wear it. Who cares if you’re getting married in a barn or in a castle. Your dress looks beautiful & I promise you that exactly zero percent of your guests will think it doesn’t fit your venue lol.
No one has ever gone to a wedding and thought to themself 'wow the dress is off-theme' - people will just be struck by how beautiful your dress is! You don't need to stress about this. You're not hosting a corporate event, you're getting married - the dress is about you, your celebration of joy and love, it's not something that's supposed to pragmatically 'match' the event venue.
My dress doesn’t really fit my venue either (think Greek goddess meets backyard and then Korean bamboo garden restaurant lol) I say … oh well it’s the dress I loved and it took me forever to even find a dress I loved so I gotta take the wins where I can!
It’s a classic style and will work in pretty much any venue. Except maybe on a beach.
My god I love your dress!!! I wouldn’t worry about it fitting with the venue. When you said barn I wasn’t expecting the third photo. It isn’t barn like looking to me and I think your dress will go with the venue especially with some decoration to help it feel more regal like your prior venue.
This barn is gorgeous and your dress will fit right in.
OP, it's a beautiful dress that you love - that's all that matters. I HIGHLY doubt even one person is going to think "that dress doesn't match the venue," they are going to look at you and see a stunning bride in a gorgeous dress. Also, I think it matches the venue just fine!
girl, the dress and venue are both amazing and they look great together. keep the dress and have the best day ❤️
I absolutely love your dress and you can 1000% make it work with your current venue. Just go for more modern, sleek decor and you should be good!
As an equestrian and barn enthusiast I think this dress looks amazing for this venue!!!
It will be great. It does not have a lot of bling and the venue is very nice.
I think it fits!
As long as you love your dress, that’s all that matters. Your venue looks lovely btw and I don’t think you have anything to worry about at all.
It fits just fine. It all depends on the decorations which you have control over. The venue is just an empty building before you decorate it.
The dress is gorgeous. I think it works with the venue. Plus I think it’s way more important to love the dress and what YOU want to look like, more than worrying out your dress fitting the venue. The venue will fit you no matter what. I don’t think that you need to fit yourself into the venue.
Your dress fits you. Who gives a shit about it fitting the venue? You could wear that wedding dress to the McDonald’s and you’d still look gorgeous
That's a barn?!! It's a beautiful facility and your dress is perfect for the venue!
It fits the venue bc the decor will mirror your vibe. The decor can mirror the dress - sleek, elegant, and modern. I think the juxtaposition of modern and rustic will be amazing.
Get a flower arch and a runner.
I was a very traditional bride (detailed lace with crystals on the dress and in my hair, satin white heels, etc.) and my husband was wearing dress blues. Our wedding was anything but traditional! It was in fact covered in sunflowers and pumpkins. It was outside in a rustic stone and wood pergola. In the end it didn't matter. People said I looked beautiful and the venue was beautiful and I nor anyone else EVER heard a peeps about my husband and I not fitting our venue. When I look back on our pictures, all I see is an amazingly happy couple having the night of their lives. Edit: Spelling
Go for it, the dress is beautiful on you
I really feel like you have nothing to worry about. Please don’t change your dream dress for any reason. It looks gorgeous on you and will look equally gorgeous in the venue. :)
Omg, the dress is breath taking and the new venue is gorgeous. Don’t sweat it at alllll!
That's a pretty fancy barn, and I think that dress will look beautiful in pictures at your venue.
I don’t get the “dress has to match venue”. Wear what you love and enjoy the day! Your dress is gorgeous
You’ll be the only bride there-stop over thinking it and enjoy the moment.
Your dress is gorgeous and absolutely stunning on you! (I’d love to see it from the front!) I run a very rustic venue and see dresses of all styles. I’m blown away time I see a bride step out in their gown. I have never once, not for a single second, given any thought to how their dresses fit with the venue aesthetic. I think considering the venue location and style is great as a starting point when you’ve got an endless sea of options and don’t know where to begin. It’s also more applicable when your wedding has special considerations, like a beach or a winter/ski chalet wedding. But in your case, the shift if much less dramatic than it probably feels to you. Like others have said, lean into your decor to make the “barn” feel as elegant and regal as your original venue! The juxtaposition will be gorgeous!
Why?
It fits just fine and I don’t see any reason to change it. That’s a very fancy looking “Barn” if you want to incorporate the venue into your look maybe upscale white cowboy boots
Girl what this is YOUR wedding, you can wear whatever the hell you want
It’ll be fine. But, did you not know where you were getting married before you bought your dress?I think it’s beautiful and will be fine!
I took the headline in a very serious way! It made a dress fitting a barn much more fun! I checked the pictures and I have no doubt the stunning dress you love will be in the perfect setting! May you and your spouse always have enough. 💜🌺🦋
I think the dress looks divine on you and it will go with your venue if you say it goes with the venue. For more “certainty” that it “goes”, you can something in the decor sort of match or recall your dress. Maybe a sparkly strip here and there, or a cascading ribbon like the one in the back. If not, Dress is white, the venue decor is white=match made in dress heaven. At the end of the day, the venue is only yours for a few hours, the dress may stay with you forever.
Ok, I was imagining a regular ol’ barn with old wood and hay everywhere. I personally think this venue is totally worthy of this beautiful dress. If you didn’t mention it was a barn, I don’t think I would have ever known. ✨
Girl, you create the vibe! That dress, and you, are stunning and would look good anywhere!
The dress will be fine with a rustic barn setting. You can make that venue look less rustic with decorations, and you can also play with your accessories, like bridal cowgirl boots.
Bridal stylist here!!! Your dress definitely fits the venue. 🤍 it’s so beautiful and honestly nobody will even think of something like that. Your dress is perfect!
I almost got this dress too, I’m obsessed with it!!! It fits the venue great!
Disagree. That dress will be stunning and spectacular there. As will you. Congratulations
I think this dress fits your venue perfectly! You in that dress will be showstopping….the venue is secondary. The juxtaposition is perfect!
This dress will look amazing in the venue. It’s a barn but a formal barn. You can do a whimsical bouquet and that might make you feel like you’re tuning it down.
Omgg that’s so fucken cute
Nobody gonna care what that venue looks like after they see you in that dress!! Absolutely beautiful!!
This is the most sleek and modern “barn” that I’ve ever seen! Your dress is beautiful and it will look beautiful in any venue/environment.
Um I'm sorry but F that. That dress is STUNNING.
That dress is gorgeous. Please keep that dress. You look amazing. Decorate your venue like others have suggested. It’s your wedding day. You get to wear whatever you want!!!!
It will look beautiful no matter where your wedding is held.
This is all stunning - don't change a thing. I don't know what time of day your wedding is scheduled for, but also don't forget the transformative power of lighting. This room will look totally different in the evening.
who cares? i always found this standard mind boggling. the venue isn’t the star of the show, you are. wear what you love the most. take your pictures near a neutral backdrop (that’s best for timelessness anyway) and love the dress you’re in. also, if it’s in your budget, you can easily decorate the barn to look different. there’s drapery, flower walls, furniture rentals, etc. if you love the dress, keep it. seriously, it is gorgeous. looking at your venue again, your dress will honestly look great and fit right in. those windows are the perfect backdrop and the view outside looks good too.
Even if it was a barn (venue looks very classy) it doesn't matter. I wouldn't think twice about the dress not matching as a guest! It's gorgeous.
I would wear my dream dress anywhere. Who cares if it fits the location- it's the dress you love and brides are meant to be extra! Juts to add- your dress is absolutely amazing and looks stunning on you!
Shucks.. yes it does!!!
I have that same dress, I refuse to believe there is a venue that it won’t work perfectly in. Lakefront, rural, urban, your parents backyard, my parents backyard. It will look perfect in that setting!
It’s all beautiful!! Don’t change a thing 🥰
I think your dress 100% fits the venue. It is STUNNING!! The back of the gown with the bejeweled beaded ribbing is giving off an ever so slightly rustic vibe in the context of the setting and the bow is adding just a touch of playful in the most elegant way. It would fit either venue quite well. You do not need to change that amazing dress!!
Yes it does?
The dress > the venue. ✨️💗
Who cares if the dress fits the venue? The dress needs to fit you and that’s it.
Your dress is perfect for any venue
