Plate № 03·B — Meadow Barn Genus: Castilleja indivisa Hand-milled Hill Country Cedar
The Newer One

Meadow Barn.

Hand-milled cedar, a wildflower meadow for ceremonies, and a vintage travel trailer serving as the groom's suite at the edge of it all. A hand-crafted Star of Texas dance floor inside, a 40-foot covered porch out front. Up to 150 guests, open to the Hill Country sky.

The measurements, plainly stated.

Meadow Barn trades the red-barn nostalgia for hand-milled cedar and open sky — a 40-foot covered porch, a Star of Texas dance floor, and two ceremony settings to choose from. Here's what a planner needs to know upfront.

The meadow — no arch required here either.

The ceremony meadow opens in every direction. No fixed focal point means your photographer can work from anywhere, and guests actually look comfortable instead of crammed into rows under a single tree.

Indian paintbrush blooms from March through May. The cedars along the south edge block the wind. In the afternoon, the light comes in low and golden across the whole field.

The travel trailer — a groom's suite with a view.

The vintage travel trailer parked at the meadow's edge serves as the groom's suite for Meadow Barn weddings — a quiet space for the wedding party to get ready, away from the bridal-suite bustle. It also doubles, regularly, as one of the most photographed portrait backdrops on the property.

Most couples use it for both. Get dressed in the morning, walk out and use it for first-look portraits in the afternoon, lean against it for cocktail-hour candids at dusk.

The barn interior — bigger, but just as warm.

Hand-milled local cedar, three large windows on one side, and a 40-foot covered porch on the other. The interior centers around a hand-crafted Star of Texas dance floor — built into the venue, not laid on top. Higher ceilings mean taller floral installations; a wider floor means long farm tables across the full width.

Cross-ventilation keeps it cool through most of the year; propane heating handles the cold months. The light inside shifts from bright afternoon through golden dusk to string-light dark. All three look different. All three look good.

The bridal suite, built for a larger party.

The Meadow bridal suite was built around a set of 200-year-old stained glass windows we salvaged from an Austin chapel renovation — afternoon light comes through them in deep golds and blues, and it makes bridal portraits look like oil paintings. There's a hair and makeup station, a full-length mirror, a daybed, and a private bathroom.

The groom's suite is the vintage travel trailer parked at the meadow's edge — it's been refurbished inside, and it works.

Field Specimen — The Travel Trailer

A vintage travel trailer,
parked at the meadow's edge.

We didn't plan for it — it came with the property. We refurbished the inside and turned it into the groom's suite for every Meadow Barn wedding. Quiet, private, with a porch view of the wildflower field. It also turns out to be one of the most photographed objects on the entire property.
