Intimate DIY Backyard Kentucky Wedding

Shannon and Tim’s Kentucky wedding took place in their own backyard, where event designer Tweed and Tin created a colorful and intimate setting for dinner with their closest friends and family. A few DIY elements like the groom’s bow ties and paint-dipped glass vases ensured that the wedding was filled with playful spirit throughout. Photographers Goldie & Christine captured that spirit in every image, as well as the quiet moments shared between Shannon and Tim on their big day.

The Couple:

The first look was such a nice moment that was just the two of us. I loved that it was in the backyard. Shannon made the bow ties, and tied it for me at our first look.

We wanted something small and low stress. We only invited our parents, grandparents, siblings and a few close friends. From there we started building the idea of having the reception in the backyard of the house we purchased together. From there we picked some colors we liked and let our vendors run with it. Rachel from Tweed and Tin did an amazing job decorating the back yard.

I loved getting ready at our house, and seeing the transformation of our backyard. Rachel set up everything, and it was a surprise. It was so special to have our loved ones at one table in our backyard for dinner. I love having all those memories around us all the time.

Czech Republic Elopement in the Prachovské skály

Czech Republic Elopement in the Prachovske skaly-1-2

Choosing to elope always brings a sense of coziness and romance to your special day. Keeping your guest list small allows you to host your wedding just about anywhere. For Jonáš and Klára, Prachovské skály in Jicin, Czech Republic presented the perfect oasis for their vintage, nature inspired wedding. Talented photographer Honza Martinec beautifully documented the unique ceremony and reception.

From the couple: We love vintage and nature, so it was main theme of our wedding. Our budget was really limited, so we just bought simple cheap things, but we liked them and loved our attire. We used roses, lush greens, some vintage accessories from a very creative friend of ours and some other small details that helped to build a special atmosphere. We had vegan catering. The cake and cupcakes were so delicious and matched our decor.

Rory and Emma’s wedding day was a chance to show their friends and family how much they love and appreciate their support. They wished to create a day that incorporated their guests while relaying to them how they’ve helped Rory and Emma become the people and couple they are today. Hosting a handmade backyard wedding allowed the couple to add personal touches to every aspect of their day. Anna Pumer Photography perfectly captured the quirky and colorful details this fun couple incorporated into their Surrey wedding design.

From the bride: I had heard about the legend in Japan that 1000 cranes brings you luck and prosperity and loved the idea, so about a year before the wedding I started to carry squares of paper with me everywhere and anytime we were with friends or family we would teach them to make them, we documented all of this making and the pictures were up at the wedding, the love and happy gatherings that went into that curtain of cranes was immense!

From the groom: At the ceremony, we’d just stood up for Emma’s arrival. Something was wrong though. Realising what it was, I turned to my Best Man, mortified, and whispered “I’ve forgotten the bloody entrance music”. Deafening silence for the longest 5 seconds of my life. Suddenly the guests erupted into cheers and applause, and there she was. All that terror, panic, and suspense subsided and in their place, joy and laughter. Honestly, that was better than any entrance to music could have been!
