Today, we're so excited to bring you a real wedding that's rustic, timeless and beautiful from the lovely Emma and Jordan! The couple originally planned to have their wedding in France, but due to Covid-19, they changed location and decided to marry at home, with a ceremony in Carrick Parish Church in Limavady in Northern Ireland, followed by the most stunning back garden reception. The Lous Photography captured these epic photos of their back garden wedding, and we just love the result! There are so many ideas to steal for your own big day, from the gold-toned details to their outdoor bar and hydration station! See for yourself!

Ready for the love story? Here we go! Emma and Jordan met when they were just fourteen and fifteen, and had been dating for thirteen years when they got married! These two are real-life high school sweethearts! Emma tells us, "I guess you could say we grew up together and have been best friends for years."

We adored Emma's golden Gucci heels! She tells us the chunky heel was perfect for grass and gravel, so they were practical as well as pretty - result!

Emma tells us that the proposal came just after she had passed her accountancy exams, and admits she was, "already on cloud nine! We went for a walk on White Park Bay beach, both very happy and enjoying our views. Jordan stopped half way along to get down on one knee and pop the much-awaited question... after many tears, I of course, said yes! We had the whole beach to ourselves, it was perfect."

Their main aim for the big day was to have an intimate and personal wedding with a classy black and white feel, combined with an outdoor relaxed vibe, and we think they nailed it! "We wanted as much as possible to be outside and not stuck in a stuffy room and we really wanted as little stress as possible, with our guests enjoying the company, food and drinks."

The gorgeous couple celebrated with 45 of their nearest and dearest, and we love that they chose to have a garden party! The luxurious roses and dreamy, pastel details created a sweet, romantic and vibe that was picture perfect!

For their photos, Emma and Jordan headed to the beach in a convertible, and we just adore these striking images! "One of our favourite moments of the day was riding in the convertible to the beach  for photographs. We brought a disposable camera and took some selfies in the wind, we were so happy," Emma tells us.

Their first dance was in their own backyard, and they were so grateful they got to share the special moment with their whole family, as this may not have been possible in France! The couple shared that they loved having everyone there, "particularly our grandparents who weren’t going to travel to France, so maybe it worked out better in the end."

We are just obsessed with this gorgeous white denim jacket! Emma tells us that when she couldn't find the perfect jacket, she created it herself and embellished it with her new surname on the back!

A huge thank you to the lovely couple Emma and Jordan for sharing their back garden wedding with us and a big thanks also to The Lous Photography for capturing these moments so beautifully! There are more gorgeous images to swoon over in the gallery below!
