Angie + Brittany, a Heartfelt Backyard Wedding

Even though 2020 has been a whirlwind for both our team and our couples, we were beyond lucky enough to cross paths with two of the most kindhearted lovers around, Angie and Brittany. Not only did these two completely re-plan their wedding, but they still created the most heartfelt, beautiful little summer evening.

These babes first met in 2014 while in grad school at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and even though they had known each other for awhile, they really started to click during a night out with friends. On that same night, and after Taco Bell and a little bit of tequila, these two shared their first kiss. Ever since then, Brittany and Angie have fallen deeper in love with one another and have built the sweetest life together. From their shared passions of gardening, cooking, and hanging out with their cutie pets (Mimi the dog and Indica the cat) to striving to make the world a better place (all while having the most fun in life), we’re unbelievably inspired by these two.

In late 2019, Brittany and Angie decided to make their love official. After looking at rings together, they both knew it was only a matter of time before an imminent proposal. In December, right before Angie’s birthday, Brittany proposed in their living room (while both were in their PJs with only their pets around). Angie proposed soon after in January while they were in their backyard (forever in tears over sweet, at-home proposals).

After their initial wedding plans fell through due to the madness that is 2020, Brittany and Angie not only changed direction, but they did it with the most gracious, kind outlook. Scaling down their day to a tiny backyard celebration, these two had a limited amount of guests in-person with them and the rest of their friends and family members on Zoom. Their vows moved everyone present (physically and digitally!) to tears and we were so blown away by the outpouring of love and admiration for these sweethearts, from loved ones both near and far. To top off their deeply genuine nuptials, Brittany and Angie spent a little time with us for some of the most endearing romantics, including everything from the dreamiest backyard-garden snuggles to casual smooches in a Porsche(!!!). And if all of that wasn’t enough, this day was ultra special thanks to our friend Bagels Florals who not only created some of the most stellar ceremony florals to adorn Darling Details infamous hexagon arch, but this amazing artist also made not one but TWO absolutely divine bouquets!

The biggest thank you to Angie and Brittany for not only trusting us with your day despite everything that 2020 brought, but for being so gracious and downright wonderful through it all. Cheers to an entire lifetime of loving each other to the fullest and for always bringing so much light into this world!
