A Modern Backyard Wedding
Emma and Simon live in Switzerland and were married in Emma’s hometown: Austin’s historic Hyde Park. And as photographer Ashley Garmon shares, the ceremony took place in the backyard with a well-loved garden as their only backdrop. After the ceremony, they walked down to the end of the block where the reception was held. The reception was a street party with dancing and cocktails in the middle of the street and a gorgeous tent in an empty lot at the end of the block which the guest enjoyed a three course meal.
Emma’s mother planted sweet peas along upon hearing of Emma and Simon’s plans to have the wedding reception on the corner lot. By the time the wedding day arrived, they provided a lovely natural barrier. They were also used in the arrangements on the table as well as Emma’s bouquet. The only other flowers were ranunculous from a local farm.
And that dreamy dress: understated, elegant…clever, even. Much like Emma herself. I have never seen such a calm bride on her wedding day.

Emma’s Dress by Lanvin
Absolutely beautiful. I have to know the designer of the rings.
I love EVERYTHING, including the rose gold jewelry. And I pine over backyard weddings!
Incredible dress, and the tent lighting is awesome.
I love the rings. Is that a rose-cut diamond?

Hi Ladies, I think those rings may be by Katherine Bowman. http://katherinebowman.blogspot.com/
If not, she has a very similar organic style. Love her work! <3
Ok I don’t think they are Katherine Bowman but I know this jewellery designer was featured on some wedding blog somewhere in the past few months! Argh how frustrating
ok I was thinking of Satomi Kawakita (http://satomikawakita.com/499-5209/R0205Y)
but I was wrong about that too! I give up now!
The bride’s ethereal style is stunning, especially with those bold, backless dresses. I love the handcrafted and modern touches like the invitations and chalkboard as well. Altogether wonderful and inspiring.
any bride looking for a modern wedding inspiration should look no further than this wedding. The bride is absolutely stunning and I am in love with everything about this celebration!!
I love the rings, please post back with the designer’s name!
What a stunning wedding dress!! The ribbons around the middle look so pretty!
Ladies, here’s the info on the rings:
The engagement ring is from De Vera Objects in San Francisco http://www.deveraobjects.com/about/about.html
The wedding band is by a designer named Sayumi Yokouchi. Which they also got at De Vera Objects also but in the New York store.
Oh! I have to have that dress! Please say she will sell it to me!!?? :) What a beautiful wedding!
Thanks for the ring info!!
Do we know the designer of the engagement ring? That would be really helpful!!
