Backyard Wedding in Santa Cruz

Last Updated: March 21st, 2021/8 CommentsTopic: REAL WEDDINGSby Meredith

There is something sweet about backyard weddings, and this one in particular! Rod and Stacy got married at their own home, which they remodeled for the wedding. Danielle Gillett captured the day perfectly.

The flowers were so beautiful!

Do you recognize that red heart? It’s from Rod and Stacy’s engagement session, which we featured back in April!

The reception was held on their newly landscaped lawn, which was decorated with tissue paper pom poms hanging from the trees and big umbrellas to keep guests cool.

      Funny story about the ring. They had a mis-communication about who was to buy the ring from him. He bought the ring about 1 hour before the ceremony.
      He bought it from “the vault” in Santa Cruz Ca.

    Hi Kelli! We aren’t sure if this is where Rod and Stacy got their cake topper, but it looks a lot like the ones from the Small Object

    Hope that helps!
