Hay Bale Seating

Just a little collection of hay bale seating photos I have been staring at as of late.  Most of our family were none too wild about hay bale seating for the ceremony {c'mon!  Look at that bottom photo!}.  However, I am still going to work it in via the cocktail hour-ish.  I love how the hay bales formed an entire love seat in the first photo.  The photo with the pillows on top are fun & comfortable looking, however our cocktail is outside with no walls around, so I think a simple hay bale covered in a pretty vintage quilt will be the way we go.  I have checked vintage plate collecting off the list {yay!}, so I guess I will add vintage quilt collecting on.

Random stranger here. My sister is planning to use the same seating for her wedding. if you go with it - remember to get STRAW bales, not HAY. Straw is beige and used for animal bedding. Hay is green and is food for animals. Straw is not only cheaper, but much more comfortable. I married a farm boy and had to learn this stuff.

The term "hayride" is a misnomer. They are actually filled with straw.

I just loved this idea and wanted to say how cute and creative I thought it was. The guest look like they are enjoying it too.

I love this idea and have been planning on using it...great to actually see pictures of it in action rather than just the visions in my head! How did your quilt quest go? I've been trying to figure out where I can get them without them costing me an arm, a leg, and an eyeball.
