Nestled amidst lush greenery and picturesque landscapes, The Estate at River Run provided the perfect backdrop for Sara and Stuart’s dream wedding. During the morning hours the groomsmen gathered by the pool for a relaxing start to the day. Dressed in matching swim suit bottoms, they enjoyed the crisp morning air and took a refreshing dip, setting a tone of fun that would carry throughout the day. Stuart and his closest friends shared stories, laughter, and a few competitive games, creating memories that would be cherished long after the wedding.

Meanwhile, in the luxurious primary suite of the estate, Sara and her bridesmaids were immersed in an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation. The spacious suite, with its elegant décor, served as the perfect setting for the bridal party to prepare. Amidst the flurry of hair and makeup, there was plenty of laughter, and even a fun photo session in the massive bathtub, adding a playful touch to the morning preparations.

As the preparations concluded, it was time for one of the most anticipated moments of the day – the first look. Sara, stunning in her wedding gown, with a bow on the back and buttons cascading down the train, walked towards Stuart on the beautiful blue stone pathway lined with crepe myrtle trees. The vibrant blooms and serene surroundings created a romantic ambiance as Stuart turned to see his bride for the first time. Their reactions, filled with love and emotion, were beautifully captured, marking the beginning of their journey together as husband and wife.

The ceremony took place on the estate’s front lawn, with a stunning fountain as the backdrop. Guests were seated on either side of a petal-strewn grass pathway, courtesy of the flower girls. Under a clear blue sky, surrounded by family and friends, Sara and Stuart exchanged vows, promising to love and cherish each other for a lifetime.

Following the ceremony, guests made their way to the Tuscan Ballroom for dinner. The large space, with its brick walls and stone fireplaces, exuded a cozy, intimate ambiance. The celebration continued in the Wedgeroom Ballroom for dancing, cake cutting, and dessert.

As the night drew to a close, guests gathered at the front of the estate for a magical sparkler exit. Sara and Stuart, hand in hand, made their way through a tunnel of sparklers, surrounded by the cheers and well-wishes of their loved ones. The glow of the sparklers illuminated their smiles, capturing the joy and excitement of the day’s events.
