Washington DIY Backyard Wedding

Outdoor, intimate, and family focused, this beauty on our wedding blog today is everything you’d imagine a backyard wedding to be. The couple wed under a magnificent tree and a hanging arch the bride created herself! Seriously, you won’t believe that the family made most of the beautiful decor! With mismatched dresses and wildflower bouquets a troupe of nine bridesmaids stood on either side of the bride & groom in a breathtaking ceremony that proceeded a celebratory reception with Chipotle for dinner (sounds like a party to us)! Here’s what the photographer, Kate Price, and the bride have to say about the special day:

This beautiful DIY backyard wedding was such a delight to be a part of. Micah & Soryn (with the help of family and friends) created the most amazing party. Soryn’s dad is a logger and made the head table, benches and other wood details. Soryn made the hanging garland that she and Micah stood under during the ceremony. Soryn collected pots and had little potted plants everywhere. Soryn wore a BHLDN gown that was Whimsical and classic. The Voetberg family band oversaw all the music of the day.

From the bride…

Some of my greatest memories of the day, was when I was walking down the aisle and saw both our families standing up there, and realizing what an incredibly big family I was going to have. Another is when Micah started crying when reading his vows that he had written himself, and realizing the moment we were in, and the promises we were making. I remember the whole day quite vividly, and don’t recall a single mishap during the whole event. And even though the forecast was calling for 90° weather we were fortunate enough to get a perfect 74°, and overcast, which made it comfortable for everyone and gave us awesome pictures.”
