Joy + Jamie, The Estate on Second

June 24, 2019

The Estate on Second was tastefully dressed in white rose petals and eucalyptus leaves for Joy and Jamie’s wedding day. Jamie finished getting ready in our attic space and met Joy outside for their first look. Jamie’s expression when he saw his beautiful bride was priceless and everything you’d want in a first look reveal. The sweetest moments were captured there and around the venue before the ceremony began.

Joy walked down the petal-lined aisle to Jamie where their vows were exchanged, and happy tears were shed. Guests were then excused to cocktail hour to enjoy Crab Cakes with Mango Papaya Salsa and Pineapple Rumaki. The newlyweds signature cocktails were also served at the bar: A Mojito and Jack and Coke. After cocktail hour everyone found their seats at beautifully decorated tables. Eucalyptus garland and tall candlesticks ran down the long farm tables while bouquets of white roses and hydrangeas sat in the center of the round tables. Slate blue linen napkins added a pop of color to the guest tables and tied in with the linen on the sweetheart table that was decorated in eucalyptus and a love quote banner. Wild Cherry Salad, Teriyaki and Pineapple Chicken Brochettes, 16-Hour Smoked Beef Brisket, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Stir Fry Vegetables were served for dinner. A large 3-tiered wedding cake was served for dessert. Guests were able to choose from Almond Cake with Chocolate Mousse Filling or Marble Cake with Chocolate Bavarian Filling. Joy and Jamie ended the night with their friends and family on the dance floor.
