Silvia + Jacob - Epping-Forest Yacht Club – Jacksonville, FL

Our Southern Charm Events team loved this spectacular wedding for Silvia and Jacob at Epping-Forest Yacht Club and we especially loved working with Silvia’s mother. Busy careers and living a few states apart kept the couple constantly on the move.

This legendary private club was built on the banks of the St John’s River in 1926 by A.I. duPont and Jessie Ball duPont.

“The Mansion is adorned with brick courtyards, beautifully carved pilasters for the balconies and original marble and tile floors. In addition, many fanciful stone creatures and icons rest on the garden walls and magnificent central stone fountain, evoking the European heraldry of centuries past.”

While Silvia and her wedding party relaxed and got ready at home, preparations were underway preparing the magnificent gardens for their outdoor wedding ceremony.

The mansions lawn was filled with white garden chairs adorned with blue hydrangea, while white sculptural risers marked the aisle with arrangements of blue hydrangea, white roses, lilies and orchids.

The couple exchanged their wedding vows under a huge garden urn overflowing with flowers and surrounded by garlands of greenery and flowers.

After their beautiful wedding ceremony, the couple took some time for some photos around the magnificent estate’s 58 acres before moving inside for a night of dinner and dancing.

A half round sweetheart table was draped in blue linen and surrounded by urns of flowers, resting on white columns, huge arrangements of blue and white with elegant candelabras.

The ballroom was set with cream colored linen, light blue napkins that matched the pops of color in groupings of flower arrangements on each table.
