If you’re from the south, you’ve probably been to a barn wedding at least once already. They’re some of the most popular and cost-effective wedding venues in Texas, and for good reason. The setting is rustic yet classy, providing guests with that comfortable, homegrown feel that most upscale venues just don’t offer. Check out these 10 beautiful barns that might reinvent your dream wedding.

2. Vista West Ranch – Dripping Springs, Texas
