Small Backyard Wedding Ideas with Casual DIY Decor Tips

For me, Weddings are not just one day celebrations, it’s the midpoint of two journeys, one that ends to begin the new . The day we wait for since we find the love of our life. The day you promise someone to share your life and grow old together ❤️. How amazing and nice that would be guys!! 🙃😍🥰

While for some people it’s like a grand day to be celebrated with all pomp and show, for some people it’s a warm day meant to be shared only with closest friends and family just like me.
