Cozy Backyard Wedding With Pastel Dahlias and Craft Cocktails

We interrupt your daily programming to bring you a cozy backyard wedding with the most exquisite details. Between the effortlessly elegant blooms by Golden Fields Floristry, the wooden ceremony decor (literally built over the family’s trampoline!) and the colorful signature drinks served up by the couple’s favorite hot spot in California, this microwedding is as darling as they come. Expert planner + designer, Riley Loves Lulu, was at the helm of this private residence soiree, and we can see her signature style through and through as she tells A+E’s story through sophisticated whimsy and color, sweet color! It’s a no-brainer that you’ll fall in love with these sweet images from Adriana Klas in the gallery below, so what are you waiting for? Let’s put on some Jack Johnson and dive right in!

From the Planner, Riley Loves Lulu: This sweet micro wedding took place in the bride’s sister’s (also the MOH) home after Covid made it impossible for them to have their originally planned wine country wedding. The backyard had a built in trampoline which they covered with a custom circular wood floor as the footprint for the ceremony. The couple’s friends built them a modern circular arch which mimicked the shape and created a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony.

Amanda and Eric love Sidecar in Los Gatos, a bar and restaurant known for their craft cocktails. They were able to have the restaurant cater and even make their specialty cocktails including an applewood smoked manhattan and serve up some of their favorite items from the menu.

Wishing all the happy ever after vibes to Amanda and Eric! Their cozy backyard wedding is giving us all the feels. If you’re thinking of planning your own microwedding at home, be sure to use our free resource here as your guide!
