Kristina + Jake, The Estate on Second

January 8, 2019

Kristina and Jake’s Estate on Second reception was something out of a fairy tale. Golden lanterns and succulent filled terrariums decorated the floors while eucalyptus bundles cascaded down each table. Touches of gold and white orchids tied everything together for their happily ever after.
