There's probably nothing more breathtaking than having an event at a barn- whether it be a rehearsal party, a wedding, a birthday or an anniversary. Think rustic, bare wood tables and chairs, citronella candles, green fields and parasols, and fresh flowers that can make you feel as close to nature as possible. For Rick's rehearsal wedding party held at a remote barn in Calabasas, I used fresh sweet magnolia flowers picked from my backyard that blended well with the musky smell of the beautiful barn. To date, I still get the oohhhs and the ahhs from people whenever I show pictures of the event.
