Sweet and subtle shine at this lovely backyard wedding

Sweet and subtle shine at this gorgeous backyard wedding

Samantha and Steven tied the knot at their gorgeous backyard wedding at Steven’s childhood home, complete with a cozy lounge out in the field and a barn and pretty foliage everywhere… and SIGH. There were vintage details, family heirlooms, and even an old skool Polaroid camera in play. Sweet part incoming: they took a few minutes out of their morning to share and read letters from each other before walking down the aisle.

Don’t miss Samantha’s boho chic two-piece dress that was hand-embroidered by a family friend.

This woodsy chic backyard wedding was a labor of love

Corey and George had an intimate wedding that celebrated the vibrant colors of fall and their waterfront backyard venue in the woods. They grew their own flowers, and the bride’s mother made her bouquet which included a deer horn to honor the bride’s father and the groom’s mother. The groom surprised everyone with a live band, and they provided a huge drawing board for the kids and anyone who wanted to leave a love note for them. It was a chic backyard wedding, and a lovely labor of love with local vendors and gorgeous details.
