31 Jan Jessica & Jeff {Runnymede Plantation}
We’re tying up this chilly week with an absolute overload of customized wedding perfection sure to keep you warm through the weekend and beyond. Not long after Jeff proposed to Jessica early one morning at Chicago’s Buckingham Fountain, the two decided to head to his hometown of Charleston for their Big Day. Since Tara Guérard Soirée had fashion Jeff’s big sister’s wedding years before, Jessica and he knew they were the ones to craft and create their own romantic affair at Runnymede Plantation along the banks of the Ashley River. With a traditional Jewish chuppah covered in garlands of magnolia leaves, a color palette of classic navy and white, florals in peach, pinks, and forest green, and a glamourous tented reception surrounded by open-air lounge areas, it’s easy to say that this wedding has us swooning!
