You haven’t seen a backyard wedding until you’ve seen Simone & Andrew’s fairy-lit wedding

This backyard, front yard, and even driveway wedding is unlike any at-home wedding we’ve seen. The home is gorgeous, the fashion is impeccable, and the flower grandma made our heart asplode. Don’t miss the bride’s fabulous pink dress and flower crown, the club lighting-style reception dancing poolside, and the mother of the bride getting down in the pool.
