"Father of the Bride" Inspired Backyard Wedding Day Brimming with Chic and Elegant Décor

A Bumble success story for the ages, Meg fell in love with the only man she considered worthy of going on a date with from the app—Joey. Aiming to embody her grandmother’s simple, elegant dinner parties and “incredible ability to bring people together with warmth, laughter and a sense of belonging,” Meg wanted her wedding day to be intimate, chic and full of personal touches. Starting their big day with a slow morning spent at home, the pair watched as Meg’s parents’ backyard was transformed into a breathtaking ceremony and reception space. Inspired by the timeless wedding in the movie, Father of the Bride, traditional décor was thoughtfully incorporated throughout the space to foster an environment that was both refined and welcoming. Full white roses bloomed alongside blush blossoms and lush foliage, the abundant display climbing up a large tree to create a unique altar where Joey and Meg exchanged their “I do’s.” Incorporating the fresh hues of their décor, Joey wore a subtly patterned tie with his black suit while Meg was a portrait of bridal beauty in a gown delicately adorned with petal appliqués. Billowing in the breeze, a fabric seating chart led guests to the tented reception, where tastefully decorated tables glowed with warm candlelight. “It was surreal to witness all the love and effort come together in a place that holds so much significance,” Meg reflects. “The joy of being surrounded by every living person we love...there’s truly nothing like that feeling.”
