Need Help with Barn Wedding Theme

[Nancy Shultz]

Hi All!
Here my problem.  My daughter is getting married next June.  She's have a wonderful barn wedding in a town where we do not live.  We will be traveling and staying at the local hotel and a lot of our guests will probably choose to stay also because it is a ways to travel.
I am wanting to make out of town gift boxes for the guests that stay.  I have bought the boxes already a Kraft gable box and would like to pack it with bottles of water, snacks that are local to the area and some homemade items as well.  I have bought the plastic bags to put the homemade items in already also.
My problem is I am at a lost as to what to do and how to design something that goes with the Barn Wedding theme.  The Barn is a barn that dates back to the civil war and the Town is Ligonier, PA which dates back to the American Revolution.. I need help pulling this all together.  She is having a vintage wedding. And everything is going to be ivory, pale pink, sage green..
Can any of you wrappers help me put these things together?  I have no idea how to even start this one.  She doesn't want me to do wrappers for favors, but she is having a candy buffet and I'd like to incorporate the design into Hershey kisses and maybe some mini wrappers of hershey bars, krackels, etc.
I'd appreciate anything anyone can help me with.

Not sure about the history of barns, but have you done any Google searches to see what it looks like? or maybe you already know what it looks like? Be careful thinking of chocolate ideas, in June it'll be hot.  There are barn shares on the forum, or are you looking for a country look?

I know what the barn looks like.. Very rustic But its modern in the part that it is enclosed and has airconditioning and modern plumbing.. So, I don't think that the chocolate would be a big problem.

I think I would want a Rustic/Vintage look.. Maybe colonial or victorian era.. She's using.. lots of lace, pearls, milkglass, that sort of stuff.. This is why I'm at a loss.. Just don't know how to go about this. She is also using burlap table runners and sashes over the linens. It's going to be very elegant but in a historical barn.. so this is my problem..

I just can't think this one out on my own.  Input, lots of input and ideas are needed..
Thanks.

Tried playing with the colors and texture to give a vintage look, but the text box doesn't look to be working to me, lol.  Thought I would post it and see what you thought.  If I can remember tomorrow, I will try to play some more.

Nancy, that is a tough one, lol.  I keep searching and searching to see if I can find something to help you.  Here is a lace mini, but for the life of me I can't find anything to with it, lol.  Maybe somebody else will find something to suit your theme.
