These lovebirds above, Alyssa and Mat, were the first couple to tie the knot on these totally impressive grounds of the Yards in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a brand new wedding venue that's bursting with all that famed industrial charm. Long, communal dining tables were a great way to utilize the open space, and while some areas of The Yards feature a grittier city feel, the reception area cleans up nicely with the old, industrial windows being a gorgeous focal point. They wanted to keep things simple, pulling their inspiration from artistic painting details and vintage finds. They smartly decided against certain traditions that didn't feel like they'd be a fit and created their own rules by incorporating the things that had the most meaning to them.
