Hi,
I need your help with some advice. I live in Sweden and I am getting married to a military officer, which sets the tone of the whole wedding. The dress code is formal (which in Sweden means frock coat on men and long dress on women). However, we don´t have a venue yet and we both come from rural areas in the southern parts of Sweden. My idea is to turn an old barn into an elegant and glamorous venue with nice furniture, drapings, etc to make it look like a sort of castle in a barn. Is this a bad idea? Do you think our guests would be offended if we have a formal dress code and the party in barn? What if they expect a real castle/mansion as a venue?
How would you guys feel if you where invited to a wedding like that?
I´m posting it here since it´s kind of rare to have a wedding venue in a barn in Sweden.
