Kelsey and Rhys’ backyard wedding was so elegant and sophisticated that we almost can’t believe they planned it in just one month! They nailed the laid-back outdoor dinner party vibe by keeping the decor simple with eucalyptus greenery from Our Little Flower Company<\/a>, lanterns, wine bottle table numbers, and beautiful calligraphed signage. What really put the decor over-the-top, though, were the DIY elements, especially the hexagonal backdrop Kelsey’s father built for the ceremony and the photo display the couple built using old crates for the reception. We also love the nods to Rhys’ Mexican heritage with the Mariachi Del Sol<\/a> band that played during margarita hour and the ice breaker game that involved sombreros and tequila! Photographer Kaoverii Silva<\/a> could not have captured this day more perfectly!<\/p>\n

We didn’t do a first look, so the first moment walking down the aisle with my Dad by my side and seeing Rhys<\/span> was an extremely special moment for us. Our vows were another memorable moment. I would highly recommend everyone write their own vows! <\/em><\/p>\n

I found my dress at The White Peony<\/a> in Victoria and absolutely love it! It was so me and fit the vibe of our wedding, too. I knew I wanted a deep V neckline, but tried on so many before this one. This dress had the perfect mix of mature yet a fun skirt. The bracelet I wore was a gift from my in-laws for my 30th birthday, which made it extra special. And I had pictures of my dog that we lost tragically last year around my bouquet. I always imagined Bella at my wedding, and losing her was a really challenging time for Rhys<\/span> & I, along with our families. So I felt adding her to my bridal bouquet was a touching tribute to her, and calming for me to know she was with us for the day.<\/em><\/p>\n
