We don’t see enough backyard weddings and this stunning celebration was the perfect reminder. Seriously, before you go searching for an outdoor venue, make sure you look in your own backyard first! If you or anyone you’re close with has a backyard filled with wildflowers and room for a giant tented reception, do what this couple did and host your wedding at home. The money that you save on renting the venue can go into hiring the best of the best, like The 530 Bride, and making your decor something truly extraordinary. Keep reading to hear all about how this couple broke one wedding tradition after another to create a day that was all their own and to see more of these lovely photos by Ashley Carlascio.
