Every facet of this wedding threw me into double-take mode. Every detail is carefully curated and thoughtfully designed, as if the planner, JMK Events, were the Bride. Oh, wait… she is! Jessica poured her heart and and soul into crafting her own fete (as she does for all of her events), but this one, expectedly, had a little extra glow. Sara Weir documented every meaningful moment, from the decor to darling scenes like this. See it all here.
From the Bride (who was also the planner, JMK Events)… As a wedding planner, people assume that I envisioned my entire wedding before I was even engaged, but not true at all! Eric, my husband, was great throughout the whole planning process, and I just wanted to create something that reflected both of our styles and also let our personalities shine through. Our wedding-wish was to have an organic/natural and modern feel that gathered all of our loved ones together. I think our garden-style florals really came together and didn’t compete with the killer view but rather complemented the whole atmosphere. The week of our wedding had SO much rain and we could only pray it would stop. Our original plan was to be wed in the outdoor dome with elegant draping in front of the water, but we made a last minute call to go with Plan B to do a flip indoors and keep our guests warm and comfortable (of course I had a Plan B & C haha). Although I was initially so bummed that my plan of a golden-hour outdoor ceremony dissolved, in the end we really look back at our wedding day and are so happy all the more of how everything turned out. Designing and planning my own wedding was such a treat and it was such a magical day surrounded by all of our loved ones.
From Sara Weir… Jessica, the beautiful bride and planner for her own wedding really pulled together the most beautiful wedding! Full of beautiful florals Jessica had hoped to have the perfect garden wedding. Unfortunately, the rain had other plans!! But with stunning views the plan B ceremony was really special. It definitely helped having a wonderful team of venders who were experienced and could roll with the punches. Jessica and the florist worked together to create the beautiful ceremony installation which was the perfect backdrop while also allowing the guests to enjoy the amazing view. They say having rain on your wedding day is good luck and in this case it’s definitely true! So just in case your brides are planning spring weddings and need a contingency plan this is definitely a beautiful solution!
