Who else loves a small backyard wedding? Mallory & Rhomes are both from Memphis, and Mallory’s parents’ beautiful home there was just *made* for an intimate wedding… We mean, the property is actually considered an arboretum because of how many different species of trees grow there. The couple enlisted Bella Baxter Events to transform the backyard for guests, which Tennessee wedding photographer Maggie Braucher captured in the sweetest way…
The most beautiful tented reception!
Love these shots of the bride in her family home while getting ready in her stunning Maggie Louise Bridal gown.
It rained all morning, which made for the cutest first look. (Gotta love those umbrella wedding portraits!) Luckily the sun began to shine right in time for the ceremony! Everything surrounding them became even more lush and vibrant… this property was truly meant to host a small backyard wedding.
What a stunning veil!
The ceremony took place under a giant dogwood tree, canopying over half of the guests. Both of Mallory’s parents walked her down the aisle, and they also had family members come up to give their blessings throughout the ceremony.
Little potted plants as escort cards and favors is always a sweet surprise.
After dinner, the rain began to pour and everyone danced the night away. What a dreamy day at such a special place!
