erin + nick | a floral-filled and heartfelt backyard wedding in maryland

There were so many incredible moments and details to love about Erin + Nick’s micro wedding, but my favorite may be how far they’ve come together, from their first meeting in sixth grade! 13 years later to the day they officially told each other how they felt, they were married in the backyard where Nick grew up and his parents still live.

6 UNFORGETTABLE ELEMENTS OF THIS
BACKYARD WEDDING:

  1. June 13, 2007 was their first date. June 13, 2020 was the day they got married. 13 is Nick’s lucky number… and probably Erin’s a bit now too ;).

  2. Erin’s floral print wedding dress from Lulu’s (it’s this one!)

  3. The hanging white flowers atop the gazebo made for such a stunning ceremony backdrop - love the simplicity of all white florals.

  4. They asked each guest to write them a message and include a photo so that they could all “be there in spirit with us” (scroll down to see the seated porch photo!) and their family assembled and arranged everyone of them into a book.

  5. Nick’s best friend Ethan officiated the ceremony… they’ve known each other since 2 years old, when they moved to the same street.

  6. Erin + Nick recited their own vows and then each of their parents read at the ceremony. Nick’s brother made a toast. With smaller weddings, meaningful and personalized details like that are possible! No rules anymore!
