by Car in , — Updated January 23, 2024 — Reading Time: 5 minutes

This wedding day is like none other we’ve featured here in Inspired Bride. Though an incredible team of vendors came together to make the wedding day happen, most of the planning and uniqueness of the day came straight from the bride! The ceremony entrance, arbor, bar, and dance floor were all built by the bride’s father. Truly a handmade-backyard affair! Every little detail was poured over with love, each decoration and moment thought through. From the “Wizard of Oz” quotes placed throughout the bride’s parents’ backyard to the handmade details, each little thing FIT together perfectly. Filled with lots of inspirational details, let these snaps taken by Jessica Hunt Photography take you to an amazing backyard wedding! Lots of love ladies!

We’re All About the Details!

Matthew, a drone and firework enthusiast, put on a gorgeous fireworks show to end the night. All-in-all Heather and Matthew’s day was just plain flawless. Every little handmade detail complimented their backyard wedding and love perfectly, and this day is going to go down as one of our favorite weddings yet.Rustic Boho Backyard DIY Wedding 61

Heather gifted her bridesmaids a pair of earrings, a handwritten note, and a forest green shaw to warm them up on the pretty November day. Matthew wore a velvet maroon suite jacket, and I loved his little fancy pocket square.

The ‘flower girls’ were really ‘feather girls’ who threw feathers instead of petals, and the couple’s friends and family showered them with paper airplanes as they walked down the isle as Mr. & Mrs. for the first time. The paper airplanes were an important detail for Heather and Matthew because Matthew is a plane/drone hobbyest.Rustic Boho Backyard DIY Wedding 71 Rustic Boho Backyard DIY Wedding 73Rustic Boho Backyard DIY Wedding 75Rustic Boho Backyard DIY Wedding 77Rustic Boho Backyard DIY Wedding 79 Rustic Boho Backyard DIY Wedding 81 Rustic Boho Backyard DIY Wedding 83Rustic Boho Backyard DIY Wedding 85 Rustic Boho Backyard DIY Wedding 87

Take this Advice

Advice for future couples planning for the same event-We are not totally finished with the wedding yet so the only advice I can give a this point is…you can never be TOO ORGANIZED!!!! If you are doing a homemade wedding (like we are), planning is crucial! You don’t want to be doing a lot of crafty things last minute. If one more person told me I have plenty of time to worry about that or you can do that later before the wedding I was going to scream!!! You want to enjoy the couple weeks before the wedding and not be stressed out! So anything you can do ahead of time…knock it out! Prioritize what is important to you and knock those things out…if you have leftover wants…OH well at least you got the most important ones off your list of To Do’s and honestly, no one will ever know if something wasn’t done! ~Jessica Hunt/Photography
