These posts are all about getting married in backyards — sometimes the couple’s OWN backyard, and sometimes the backyard of a friend of family member. You may also want to check out our archive of at-home weddings.

This woodsy backyard wedding was a labor of love

This woodsy chic backyard wedding was a labor of love

Corey and George had an intimate wedding that celebrated the vibrant colors of fall and their waterfront backyard venue in the woods. They grew their own flowers, and the bride’s mother made her bouquet which included a deer horn to honor the bride’s father and the groom’s mother. The groom surprised everyone with a live band, and they provided a huge drawing board for the kids and anyone who wanted to leave a love note for them. It was a chic backyard wedding, and a lovely labor of love with local vendors and gorgeous details.

A rockabilly love-fest with boxer briefs, night swims, and pin-up style

This rockabilly pair knows how to look fabulous on a budget. With their pups in tow, they danced all night, DIYed tons of decor (including the paper flower bouquets!), and had some killer wedding party photos. Don’t miss the bride’s epic red hair and cocktail-length dress.

See the most beautiful backyard greenhouse wedding (with self-uniting musical ceremony!)

Emily and Mike had a gorgeous self-uniting ceremony where they performed all their own vows as well as music during the ceremony. With feminist overtones and a backyard greenhouse setting, it was a sight to see. Between the FABULOUS centerpieces, greenhouse-inspired decor, and the ceremony in the round, you do not want to miss this loveliness.

Don’t miss the gorgeous mohawk at this wildflower wedding

Kristen and Tim’s parents’ house was host to their wildflower wedding with artist touches. Mismatched vases full of wildflowers and herbs like sunflowers, lavender, sage, and thyme (including the bride’s bouquet!) adorned the trees, archway, and fences.

The bride is an artist and created the invitations, save-the-dates, AND the amazing coloring book favors which showed scenes of the couples from their favorite fandoms like Game of Thrones, Batman, and all kinds of video games. Definitely don’t miss the dinosaur touch on their cakes and the kick-ass Neverending Story guest book.
