After launching a series of wedding collections earlier this month, Lowe’s and designer Bobby Berk helped five couples, who had to postpone their June 2020 weddings, transform their backyards into beautiful venues.

Curated Wedding Collections

From farmhouse to bohemian to coastal chic, the heart of Lowe’s curated collections came to life in outdoor spaces from Nevada to New York this summer. Below are the newlyweds’ stories, along with coveted tips and design advice from Berk who helped bring each couple’s vision to life.

Alexis + Mark — Las Vegas, Nevada

Style: Farmhouse

In April, Alexis and Mark decided to postpone their June wedding until 2021 and elope instead. When Lowe’s reached out, the hope to get married at Mark’s family’s cabin in Arizona, where he got down on one knee, came to life once again.

The vision? A rustic-meets-romantic display, complete with beautiful farmhouse tables, string lights and natural greenery, including a tree that the couple planted with soil from each of their hometowns.

Nyanka + Brent — Brooklyn, New York

Style: Coastal Chic

For a couple who's been dating since the eighth grade, there was only one goal: no matter where, when or how, all Nyanka and Brent knew was that they wanted to get married. Their wedding plans had been put on pause due to COVID-19, but when Lowe’s approached the middle-school sweethearts with the idea of a backyard wedding, they were ready to take it on.

Nyanka and Brent had the location, but the backyard needed serious work. Thanks to their local Lowe’s store, their yard went from cluttered and crazy to the cozy venue they'd been dreaming of. Before moving to the United States at age 10, Nyanka’s early childhood days were spent in the West Indies. She wanted nothing more than to go back to her roots and have a Caribbean-style celebration.

Sonja + James — Oregonia, Ohio

Style: Farmhouse + Bohemian

Lovingly known as “Sonjames” by their friends and family, the couple of seven years originally planned an outdoor wedding, with the reception at a local brewery that had an industrial feel. Reminiscent of their engagement in Costa Rica, the beach holds a special place in their hearts. They knew they wanted to integrate a piece of artwork that features a beach sunrise and their couple name in neon lights.

With the help of Berk, the couple was able to bring together deep beach blues, whites reminiscent of their favorite wildflowers and a few industrial elements to create a space that truly reflects their relationship and original venue.

Milo + Lance — Columbia, South Carolina

When Milo talks about his move to South Carolina five years ago, he describes meeting Lance as someone who made what was unfamiliar “feel like home.” After four years together, the couple got engaged while whale-watching in the Pacific Northwest and dreamed of a destination wedding in Spain this June.

While Spain isn’t an option this year, the duo welcomed the opportunity to create their own version of the Mediterranean villa in their own backyard. Natural and neutral were the name of the game for the happy couple who opted for natural stonework, deep-hued wood and subtle touches of shimmer.

Torrey + Zach — Houston, Texas

Style: Bohemian

While Torrey and Zach have planted roots in the Lone Star state, their journey goes back to Bowling Green, Ohio, where they met at Bowling Green State University through mutual friends. The happy couple decided to head back to Ohio to tie the knot at Zach’s family’s house.

When asked about their original wedding décor, Torrey was able to sum it up in just a few words: succulents and sand. The couple loved the aesthetic of Lowe’s Bohemian Collection and worked closely with Berk to integrate personal touches, including a sign the couple made using wood from Lowe’s that displays their last name.
