A Backyard Wedding for the Books
Allison and Matthew's southern backyard wedding was a friends and family affair from beginning to end. Every little detail of the day was created or tended to by a member of their family, friends, or church family. And every moment was infused with a simple sweetness unique to such a homegrown summer day.
From makeup done by a cousin...
earrings and a necklace handed down from grandmothers...
beautiful bridesmaids - two cousins & a college roommate...
incredible flowers arranged by the mother of the bride....
a niece and nephew as ring bearer and flower girl...
preparations by friends and family...
a fun-loving bunch of groomsmen who braved a hot, hot July day to stand beside Matthew...
some precious parents of the bride and groom...
Matthew's father officiating the ceremony, and Allison's father singing...
the bride & groom stealing away before the reception for a few sweet moments around Allison's family's home...
and a reception full of goodness, homemade details, like cakes made by a cousin and hand-folded paper cranes, and live music performed by family & friends.
