English Garden Inspired Backyard Wedding: Amy + Brian
English Garden Inspired Backyard Wedding: Amy + Brian
via
Amy + Brian knew they wanted to host a smaller, more intimate affair that was a true celebration of their love and life together. They decided Amy's family backyard (in Orange County) would serve as the perfect setting for their English Garden inspired summer wedding, and got to work brainstorming ideas for crafting a unique + meaningful event. While it's hard to pinpoint our favorite detail from the day, the swimming pool awash with floating candles + garden blooms just might take the cake. Talk about romantic...wait until you see it! Here's a bit more from Amy about what inspired their choices for the day:
Inspired by Downton Abbey and Jane Austen's iconic novels Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre, we wanted Sugar & Fluff to create an English Garden setting for our backyard wedding. Brian and I not only love the stories that take place in the old English countryside, but were inspired by the most recent movie adaptations as well. Through an array of lush florals and intimate candle lighting, our backyard was transformed into the setting we really loved. Vignettes of victorian and art deco benches as well as light fixtures surrounded the long tables of distressed chairs, soft, shimmery linens and gold rimmed china with crystal stemware, it was a perfect balance of elegance and rustic. We wanted everything to be organic, intimate and free flowing + through soft and romantic details designed by our wedding artists, I think we accomplished just that!Thanks so much to Richelle Dante Photography for the romantic imagery + congratulations to Amy + Brian!
Amy's gorgeous bouquet was designed by Honey & Poppies. Love the soft, romantic tones + all of the pretty textures!
With the help of Discovered Interiors, Sugar & Fluff designed a distressed fireplace façade, adorned with a massive floral wreath and candle-lighting to give the setting a cozy + intimate feel.
