an elegant backyard bash
“hands down, this is the best day I can ever remember.”
– dashboard confessional
Lauren + Dave tied the knot at her family home on a sunny October day, and the nuptials were absolutely beautiful from start to finish! The bride’s childhood backyard was transformed into a stunning tented reception, and she was able to get ready for her big day in the house she grew up in. After a beautiful church ceremony, guests enjoyed refreshments from the aptly-named “Catz Bar” and danced the night away under the twinkle-lit party tent. Lauren & Dave, there’s no other way I’d rather spend my birthday than partying with you! Here’s to all the happiness ahead!
