Nicole + Ryan | Backyard Wedding
THE PLANNING
Nicole and Ryan were such a fun couple to work with! The couple chose to utilize our Elegance Package for their backyard wedding. The guests consisted of only close family due to Covid, making the day feel so intimate!
THE MORNING
The couple, along with the maid of honor and best man, spent the morning prepping in the house. The couple’s friend assisted with hair and makeup, which turned out beautifully! While the wedding party was getting ready, the RE team of Cassi and Kellie helped prep everything for the day. We strategically placed our decor rentals that the couple used including our tables, chairs, barrel cocktail tables, sofas, lanterns and more! They were also able to utilize our amazing calligraphy writer for their signs because of using our Elegance Package! Tami from Studio B amplified the area with some stunning florals as well as the arbor.
THE CEREMONY
Before the ceremony began the couple did a first look (it was so sweet!). Nicole looked beautiful in her dress and Ryan, who is currently in the military, looked stunning in his uniform. The couple and the wedding party then took some pictures with EM Photography. The fall color made for a gorgeous backdrop!
As guests arrived for the ceremony they signed the Jenga guestbook (how fun is that!?) and made their way to their seats. After a beautiful and intimate ceremony, the couple was officially married! Everyone stayed in the front yard to enjoy cocktail hour. Adagio provided beautiful live music, and the couple broke out into their first dance as husband and wife! For the remainder of the cocktail hour guests mingled, enjoyed the live music, and lounged around on our rental furniture.
THE RECEPTION
As the fall night got chilly, guests moved inside for dinner and the reception. The couple’s friends grilled hamburgers and hotdogs for everyone while we made sure that the beverage tubs were stocked and the coffee was brewing. Guests then enjoyed cake from Miss Sara’s Cakery (so yummy)!
Despite the stressful times of Covid everyone had so much fun! Nicole + Ryan, we hope that your last year of marriage has been nothing short of spectacular! The RE Team is honored to have been part of your special day!
