MINNETONKA BACKYARD FALL WEDDING
searching for the best autumn wedding ideas? #aandbabe taylor and jack have got you covered. their relaxed fall wedding in minnetonka, minnesota was full of fall wedding colors and fresh bridal inspiration. getting hitched in a backyard, their casual outdoor wedding ceremony, cozy cocktail lounge, and inviting tented reception took life amongst the crisp minnesota fall breeze.
with warm fall wedding colors like bronze and burnt orange, their seasonal color palette felt comfy and classic. allowing these rich colors to pop against white accents and their rich green forest setting, we couldn’t have dreamed up a more moody and magical wedding theme.
‘ANDY’ BY MADE WITH LOVE
a square neck sequin lace wedding dress with thick straps and a supportive corset bodice. made with love’s ‘andy’ wedding dress is an amazing mix of traditional bridal silhouette meets modern sequin lace. with exposed boning creating an eye-catching bodice detail, andy’s criss-cross lace pattern adds dimension without being too busy.
starting the day with an outdoor hanging wedding dress photo, taylor soon slipped into her sparkly fitted wedding dress to take more shots with jack and her bridesmaids. allowing andy’s shapely square neckline to be the focal point, taylor wore her hair in a sleek bridal ponytail. her slim hoop wedding earrings with pearl embellishment are a fun finishing touch and add to the pearlescent shimmer of this sheath square neck wedding dress.
in some photos, you can see the end of this made with love wedding gown’s stretch crepe lining and the extension of the illusion lace bridal train. glamorous and unique, this geometric wedding dress stuns in every photo. popping against the dark green grass and catching the natural light peaking through the tree branches during their chic backyard wedding ceremony.
MIDI BURNT ORANGE BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES
midi bridesmaid dresses in satin and silk seem to be taking the wedding world by storm. we love the sheen of both of these materials and especially the way taylor’s bridesmaids glowed against her sequin and lace dress.
sharing a bridesmaids first look, the fun reactions of her crew were captured with ease. surrounding her in asymmetrical midi cowl neck bridesmaid dresses, taylor’s bridal party embraced her before walking down the aisle. these burnt orange bridesmaid dresses were fashion-forward and flawless for their colorful fall wedding.
CLEAR TENT RECEPTION
popping up a clear top wedding tent right by the water, their backyard reception party was romantic and casual. round wedding tables covered in white linen tablecloths took up the majority of the interior and light brown wooden cross-back chairs were placed around each table with khaki tie-on cushions.
black iron candle holders were situated in the middle of every table with orange and red candles adding color to the mostly neutral wedding decor. guests could look out of the open wedding tent’s sides to waterside views and a dock in the distance.
SPARKLER WEDDING EXIT
this modern waterfront fall wedding ended with a traditional sparkler send off. making their way to the front yard, everyone gathered to say their goodbyes to taylor and jack.
kissing at the end of their sparkler tunnel, this whimsical end to their wondrous wedding day was perfect in every way.

PALM SPRINGS SPRING WEDDING
packing on the love in palm springs, #aandbabe jillian and dishon’s dreamy southern california wedding was full of ultramodern wedding details. playing off of this desert resort city’s retro vibes, their mid-century modern wedding was both simplistic and stylish.
their darling desert hot springs wedding venue, the lautner compound, set the tone for their colorful and modern wedding theme. the lautner compound’s wooden paneled wedding suite served as the perfect groovy wedding glam spot for jillian and her crew. with jillian wearing a silk bridal robe with feathered bridal cuffs and her bridesmaids in matching silk short pajama sets, the photo of them all wearing sunglasses gives off cool bride vibes.
‘LOUIE FITTED’ BY MADE WITH LOVE
changing into her ‘louie fitted’ wedding dress by made with love, jillian was a vision in this textured floral lace wedding gown. the illusion v-neckline was met by the matching lace belt and jillian finished off her elegant bridal look with a long tulle veil.
jillian wore pearl drop earrings and placed her cathedral veil under a low bun for a trendy bridal hairstyle. her strappy white billini bridal heels were the perfect contemporary wedding shoes and a spritz of chloé perfume was the final touch she needed before making her way down the aisle.
MIDI BRONZE BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES
wearing midi length bridesmaid dresses with a cowl neckline, jillian's beautiful bronze-colored bridesmaid dresses matched their desert wedding color palette perfectly. each bridesmaid held a miniature pastel bouquet and wore strappy neutral heels similar to jillian’s.
taking place in a courtyard with a retro breeze block backdrop, jillian and dishon exchanged vows under a bright blue sky and palm trees. armless mid-century wedding chairs lined the aisle and a light pink and green floral arrangement dripped from the modern breeze block wall behind them.
AL FRESCO RECEPTION
wooden pin leg farm tables were arranged in the venue’s courtyard for a festive wedding dinner. surrounded by cacti and bistro lights, this desert courtyard was a picturesque setting for jillian and dishon’s guests to celebrate.
the chairs seen at the ceremony were repurposed for each place setting and antique amber water glasses were set out at every table. a long white table runner and added texture to the floral arrangements also placed throughout the center. champagne flutes for the upcoming toasts and silver flatware finished off these simple place settings.
at the front of the courtyard, a greenery wall with a neon sign reading ‘mr and mrs hughes’ was proudly displayed. in front of this wall, jillian and dishon’s sweetheart wedding table was arranged. matching the tables of their guests, the only difference was their eclectic double peacock chair.
SPARKLING SECOND DRESS
after wrapping up dinner and watching the desert sunset, everyone rushed to the dance floor while jillian slipped away for a brief second. coming back in a sequin cutout second dress with a high slit, jillian joined their friends and family in a fun night of dancing.
switching out their formal shoes for wedding sneakers, jillian and dishon ended their contemporary palm springs wedding by tearing up the dance floor together!
