There’s something especially heartwarming about a wedding hosted a backyard. Lisa and Tristan’s intimate summer celebration was bursting with personality, thoughtfulness, and hand-crafted charm – proving that a small guest list doesn’t mean a small celebration.
With only 24 guests, every detail was personal and intentionally made. From the lovingly homegrown backyard flowers to the linens and desserts – nearly everything was handmade by the bride & her mom. Custom bibs were handed out to go with barbecue goodness from Smoke Shack BBQ, and each guest took home a ceramic coffee mug favor crafted just for the day.
Set against the familiar trees and gardens of her parents’ home, the entire day felt like a warm hug – cozy, genuine, and full of love. This was DIY done right.
