Aisles of blooms transformed this Tuscan-inspired backyard wedding

fitted lace wedding gown

Tawny and Ben planned their wedding in only 7 weeks with the help of Fawn Events! She let the ladies have full reign over the design because, by their wedding day, Tawny was 6 months pregnant with their baby boy! The two were married at Tawny's family's private residence in San Diego. But we can assure you, this wasn't your average 'backyard' wedding. Their Tuscan-inspired property encompasses acres of orchards and lush greenery, with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

Keep scrolling to see some of the most stunning photography of their day by Paige Nelson Photography, featuring planning and design by Fawn Events, florals courtesy of Third & Park, and the prettiest dress by Grace Loves Lace.

Aisles of blooms set the stage for guests to witness the couple's "I do's"

For her wedding day, Tawny chose a beautiful lace gown from Grace Loves Lace to contour her figure, paired with platform pearl-core Jimmy Choo's. Ben kept it classic in a black and white tux. They shared an intimate first look with each other before walking down the aisle. For the ceremony, Third & Park transformed their driveway into blooming aisles and a cascading floral arch over their front door. Arriving guests could grab parasols and refreshments while the Christie Anthony string quartet serenaded them.

A canopy of twinkle lights made the reception space that much more decadent

Fawn Events transformed the backyard into the most decadent reception space right out of every bride's wildest dreams. The long tables were decked out head to toe in floral runners under a canopy of twinkle lights from Brilliant Event Lighting. Hey There Cupcake designed the most beautiful floral print cake, enhanced by a matching backdrop from The Joy Haven. Even with a bun in the oven, the couple partied with their guests until late into the night, and everyone had an absolutely blast!
