Outdoor Entertaining Inspiration: The Backyard Wedding

Weddings are one occasion when people go all out to entertain their guests in style. Which makes them great sources of inspiration for entertaining at home. We've noticed lots of recent backyard wedding celebrations that we know inspire us for sure. As we wrap up the month of June, let's visit just a few here...

I got married to Mr Magoo outside. It was in our justice of the peace's back yard. He had this whole garden segment set up just for people who needed.

It is my favorite part of my wedding.

Ohh these are just achingly beautiful.
I vowed while planning my outdoor wedding that it would only be the first of many parties in the great outdoors.

I'm totally bookmarking this one for inspiration for my wedding. This is the closest I've seen to what I want! How beautiful!

Now I just have to find a location as stunning as this.
