Relaxed summer backyard wedding with coral peonies in Washington DC
A backyard wedding at home was the obvious choice for Carlie and Kody's summer wedding, since Carlie's father is a landscaper who designed the beautiful garden of their family home in Washington DC. Inspired by his time in Europe, father of the bride and founder of Fine Landscapes Ltd, created the most perfect personalized backdrop for his daughter's wedding, taking the concept of a backyard wedding to a whole new level.
Washington DC-based wedding photographer, Jenny Wagner Photography, tells us more about Carlie and Kody's gorgeous summer wedding: "Hosted at the bride’s grand family home, a special place for many in attendance, the couple’s easygoing spirit was mirrored in their choice of a summer-themed celebration. Bridesmaids, donning various shades of blue, embodied the casual elegance of ocean waves. In contrast, the groomsmen represented a classic style with their dapper navy ensembles.
"Rooted in Latvian tradition, the groom’s friends kickstarted the celebration by 'stealing' the bride, a nod to his family’s roots. Carlie wanted the star flower for the wedding to be coral charm peonies and her bouquet was filled with them, alongside other citrus-hued blooms. JR Flowers incorporated peach and white roses, peach ranunculus, pink lisianthus, and other summer flowers in the centerpieces and bud vases. The centerpieces looked exceptionally next to the soft blue linens and the warm brown tones of the reception tables."
