What a wonderful way to kick off the 2021 wedding season after such a long "break" (ahem--global pandemic). Alex and Dave are so smart and thoughtful; they spent quarantine collecting an eclectic mix of oriental rugs, vintage couches and lounges and dreaming up the perfect aesthetic and it showed! Their June wedding at Alex's family home in Highland Park was a whimsical bohemian dream filled with family and friends. So beautiful, so intimate, so fun for kids and adults of all ages. We certainly felt the love at this glowing, flowing fete for the record books.

Check us out on Redfin! Summer is going to be here before we know it! If you’re planning a backyard wedding, this article has many tips from experts across the industry on how to make it perfect.

Here’s what we had to say:

Planning a backyard wedding can be so romantic! The decor, the string lights, a beautiful evening…but with the absence of a venue, there is much to consider. What would a venue handle that now falls into your lap? Neighborhoods often have parking restrictions or require permits for large events. How many bathrooms are in the house? You’ll likely want to rent a few classy portables, particularly those with a working water supply! Talk to the neighbors and prepare them, discuss options for street parking nearby. Most of all – hire an event planner, and especially a Day of Coordinator – the expert assistance will be crucial to an event with so many moving parts.
