In the heart of Jacksonville, Florida, Epping Forest was the beautiful setting for a bridesmaids luncheon for Margaret Willetts. Held outside on a lovely sunny day, the event was filled with laughter, joy and the promise of a wonderful wedding to come.

The hostesses, close family friends, meticulously planned every detail to create an atmosphere of elegance and charm. Blues and yellows dominated the theme with tablecloths and fresh floral centerpieces that welcomed the guests.

The carefully selected menu included a colorful salad, delicious muffins and an enticing array of sweet treats. Glasses clinked in toasts and the sound of cheerful conversation filled the air. A prelude to the main event, it served as a reminder of the magic that happens when loved ones come together to celebrate love and unity.
