Rustic Backyard Wedding by Jenna Trapasso

As delicious as sweet tea on a hot July day is this North Carolina wedding and its delightful array of summer festivities. We are talking bocce ball, farmer’s market flowers, the feeling of grass in between your toes and lots and lots of dancing under the glow of string lights. This North Carolina wedding captured by Jenna Trapasso is indeed the poster child for perfect summer wedding. See every last lovely detail here!

From Jenna TrapassoThis a beautiful, handmade wedding that took place on Lake Wylie in North Carolina. Maggie and Phillip are high school sweethearts and currently live in Washington DC but returned their home city for their sweet wedding. Maggie’s family is from Taiwan and I loved how the couple chose to incorporate so much wonderful cultural flare. Phillip’s family is from North Carolina so the reception was overflowing with an entire menu of pork BBQ and fixins’ in addition to a spread of Asian vegetarian dishes. There were many “green” elements incorporated throughout the reception and in the invitations as well. The wedding also had a bit of vintage flare…from antique chairs and old fashioned formal group photos to Maggie’s beautiful bird cage veil. The entire day was incredibly relaxed and fun and everyone attributed that to Maggie and Phillip’s long-time relationship. They are so comfortable and happy together and the pictures tell that story!
