At The Estate at River Run, a summer wedding with a moody, refined aesthetic unfolded in an atmosphere of vintage romance and sophistication. The bride’s morning began in the luxurious primary suite, where she was pampered with hair and makeup, preparing for her big day. Meanwhile, the groom and his groomsmen gathered in the pool house, adding a relaxed, camaraderie-filled vibe to their preparations.
Once ready, the couple met their closest friends separately for a photo sessions. The bridal party photos were taken in the Estate’s stunning Wedgewood Ballroom, a space full of grandeur while the groom and groomsmen ventured out to the lush grounds for captures under the summer sun. The ceremony itself was a sun-kissed dream, held on the Blue Stone Terrace. The groom stood in awe, watching his bride glide down the aisle, a moment filled with love and anticipation.
After the heartfelt “I do’s,” family portraits were taken against the Estate’s striking brick walls, creating timeless mementos of the day. The reception kicked off in the Cameo Ballroom where the couple welcomed all their guests for the evening. Words of wisdom and heartfelt stories were shared in The Wedgewood Ballroom where loved ones offered toasts to the happy couple. The cake-cutting ceremony was the cherry on top to the evening, delighting guests with both flavor and sentiment.
As the evening continued, the Tuscan Ballroom became the hub of celebration, filled with the energy of dancing and the playful fun of a photo booth. The night concluded with a dazzling send-off, as the newlyweds made their exit under a shower of bubbles, disappearing into the moody night to begin their new life together. The day was nothing short of magical, capturing the essence of romance and intimacy.
