Bright Fall Backyard Wedding

Real Weddings

Apr 1

Sydney & Blake’s wedding was near and dear to our hearts. Sydeny is a former employee of ours who had been dreaming of a magical ballroom wedding her entire life. When the time finally came though, the universe had other plans and threw a pandemic in the way of things.

The couple pivoted and ended up with something even more magical, a surprise backyard wedding for just their closets family & friends at the home they had just bought together.

The ceremony consisted of only their immediate family, who had been told ahead of time they were attending a wedding. We used a collection of lounge furniture and dining chairs to create a cozy atmosphere for their guests. Our hexagon arch and tan vintage rug were showstoppers as well as the centerpiece of their ceremony set.

After the ceremony, we converted the arch area into a lounge & photo backdrop using the collection of furniture that was at the ceremony. We also created a second lounge area to accommodate close conversations. The couple’s shed acted as the self serve bar with a few of our 4 ft farm tables and some custom signage with their cute pup’s likeness.

Dinner was served open air in the grassy area of the back yard. A burger bar and individual charcuterie plates were the perfect mix of upscale but still casual. Our farm tables provided the perfect place for guests to set up camp for the evening, adorned with a simple mix of candlesticks, votives, and greenery.

The dessert display was a sweet mix of family favorites on our boho shelf & cut glass cake plates. Together, there was plenty of room to place all the sweets and the small cutting cake for the couple.

Even though things hadn’t gone as originally planned, this intimate backyard wedding had so much more magic than Sydney & Blake could’ve asked for. The bright fall tones mixed with muted neutrals created the perfect inviting palette for the entire day, even through to the crackle of the late night bonfire.
