Planning a backyard wedding? If not, this photo may change your mind! Backyard weddings are pretty much an option all year round in beautiful Southern California. The couple below (Quinn & Jacob) actually live in Chicago, but got married in Jacob’s parents backyard in Orange County, CA. To see full details, check out Amanda Lynn Photography’s blog here.

The adorable small flower pots (seen below) as centerpieces are from one of my favorite local florists, Adelaide’s . Each pot was planted with garden herbs which also doubled as a cute affordable way to name your tables! You could send each of your guests home with diy paper cones of fresh flowers/herbs to take with them as favors. Or the Wedding Paper Diva mint tins would be a cute addition to each place setting!

The beautiful bouquet seen below (as well as the bouquet above) are from The Designer’s Co-Op in NYC, but you could definitely bring this photo in as an example and see if your local florist can adjust it to fit your budget to go along with the garden theme.

I can already hear Mazzy Star playing while the tiny white lights twinkle…

This wedding session was taken by the super duper fantastic Sloan Photographers!!! You may remember the name from this recent post. I am not sure what you will LOVE the most, Stacie’s awesome wedding day accessories, or all of the different backgounds in these photos!?!? What an adorable couple…Congrats to Stacie & Geoff!
