A Splendid Luncheon to Remember
I
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 .
