A Backyard Wedding to Swoon Over

Heather stepped outside in her white wedding dress and pearl veil for a first look with her future husband, Brett. The sweetest expressions filled their faces when Brett turned to see his bride. Hugs and kisses were shared before the rest of the wedding party met them for group shots. The bridal party wore ivory attire while the groomsmen wore navy suits that matched the groom. Each bridesmaid carried a beautiful bouquet of white florals and greenery that matched the ceremony arch. While last minute photos were wrapping up, guests arrived, grabbed a glass of champagne, and found their seats in the backyard overlooking the ceremony space with a gorgeous backdrop of the hillside. The wedding party made their walk down the aisle followed by the bride. Vows were exchanged and Brett and Heather were pronounced husband and wife before sealing the ceremony with a kiss. Everyone cheered as the newlyweds walked out of the ceremony and into cocktail hour. Filet & Wild Mushroom Wellingtons and Brioche Boxes were tray passed to hungry guests as they mixed and mingled. Brett and Heather snuck off for some newlywed photos before making their grand entrance for the reception. Each table was topped with the same white flowers and greenery found in the bride’s bouquet. Neutral colored linens, plates and glassware set the table and wooden chairs added a rustic chic feel. For dinner, Grilled Marinated Vegetables, Pear & Walnut Salad, Zucchini Lime Chicken, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto, and Red Roasted Garlic Potatoes filled guests’ plates. Toasts were made and first dances were had, then everyone took it to the dance floor for the rest of the unforgettable night.
