An Intimate At-Home Wedding Near Seattle

This chic Backyard Wedding overlooking the Puget Sound proves that DIY Weddings can be as elegant as they are charming.

Have you ever dreamed of getting married in your backyard? Sara & Jason didn’t originally plan on their wedding taking place on such a small scale, but after over a year of delays they started considering small at home wedding ideas. Jason’s parents hosted the reception at their beautiful home, and their dear friends and neighbors graciously gave access to their lawn with sweeping views of the Puget Sound. Sara is a wedding planner, and her good taste is in ample evidence throughout the day. This day was such a joy to capture - it was the perfect blend of style and substance, an ode to true love, community, and simplicity. If you’re thinking of hosting your wedding celebration in your backyard, I hope the images you find below will provide some ideas for your small wedding at home!

Ideas for a small home wedding

Looking for fresh DIY BACKYARD WEDDING IDEAS? Here are a few thoughts that might help you out.

01

Find a beautiful space that needs little-to-nothing added to make it sparkle. Know a family member with a beautiful home? Have a friend with a friend who has a gorgeous view? Get creative and find a space which needs sparing adornments and is charming and welcoming.

02

Don’t be afraid to keep the guest list really small, selecting only your nearest and dearest. Not only will this make for a day filled with genuine warmth and connection between everyone involved, you will also have more room in your budget to splurge on other aspects of your celebration (e.g. hire musicians, level-up your catering, spend more on floral arrangements)
