Against the picturesque backdrop of The Estate at River Run, Jessica and Drew celebrated their wedding with a perfect blend of love, elegance, and personal touches, making the day unforgettable for everyone involved. The riverside views and the estate’s elegant Georgian architecture provided a timeless setting that added a sense of grandeur to their love story.

Jessica began her day in the bridal suite surrounded by her closest girlfriends, who have been with her through thick and thin. The room buzzed with excitement as they laughed, reminisced, and prepared for the momentous occasion.

One of the standout details of the wedding was the custom stationery, featuring beautifully rendered drawings of The Estate at River Run. These personalized invitations not only gave guests a sneak peek into the venue’s elegance but also served as cherished keepsakes.

The couple’s love for the river where they met and got engaged was reflected in the details of the day, such as the oyster bar at cocktail hour featuring Rappahannock oysters. An al fresco dinner under the stars was flawlessly organized by the LK Events team, who managed a seamless transition from the ceremony space to the dinner setting. Courtney Ingraham’s floral arch, overlooking the river, served as a stunning focal point for both the ceremony and dinner.

Jessica’s gown, found at Vow’d in Nashville, was a simple yet elegant dress that became even more special with the addition of lace from her mother’s 45-year-old wedding veil. During the getting-ready moments, Jessica was joined by her brother Travis and her mother, Deborah, adding a layer of familial love and support.

The reception in the estate’s grand hall was nothing short of spectacular. Adorned with elegant floral arrangements, flickering candles, and touches of ivory and cream, the space created a warm and inviting ambiance. The autumnal colors of the landscape added a cozy touch, perfectly complementing the day’s celebrations.

Jessica and Drew’s beloved dog, Honeybee, added an extra layer of charm and warmth to the event, symbolizing the couple’s shared love and commitment to family. Special moments with Honeybee, alongside tender family interactions, highlighted the day’s emotional depth and the joy of two families coming together. Iconic aerial shots of the estate, captured by Kennedy of White Tree Weddings, beautifully showcased the day’s elegance and grandeur.

From the heartfelt toasts to the lively dancing, every part of the evening was filled with love and joy, creating memories that will last a lifetime. As Jessica and Drew embark on this new chapter, the memories of their perfect autumn wedding will forever hold a special place in their hearts and in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to witness it.
