String Lights Over Dining Tables

Shawna and Reid had their reception in the backyard of a friend’s home, decked out in twinkling string lights that hung over some of the white dining tables. “Our friend and his wife run a foundation for wounded veterans, and built their house and yard with the intent of hosting fund-raiser dinners and large events,” Shawna says. “We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting.”
