Blakely & Kevin's
Epping Forest Wedding
Blakely and Kevin’s summer wedding at Epping Forest Yacht Club in Jacksonville, Florida was a vibrant celebration filled with color, personality, and timeless waterfront charm. A lively palette of pink, orange, and sage brought an effortlessly joyful energy to the day, while the historic elegance of the yacht club provided the perfect backdrop for the couple’s celebration.
Thoughtful design details carried the colorful palette throughout the wedding, creating a cohesive aesthetic that felt polished without losing its sense of fun. One of the standout moments was a custom seating chart designed by Kelsi Elizabeth Events and created by an expert craftsman for cocktail hour in the courtyard overlooking the water. Guests were also treated to a caricature artist who added an unforgettable interactive element to the celebration, creating personalized artwork throughout the evening—including an artist whose work has been featured in the Star Wars universe.
As a Jacksonville wedding planner and designer, Kelsi Elizabeth Events thoughtfully brought together the planning, design, and details to create a celebration that felt cohesive from ceremony through reception. From the vibrant pink, orange, and sage palette to the custom guest experiences, every element was designed to complement the waterfront setting while reflecting Blakely and Kevin’s personality.
Blakely and Kevin’s Epping Forest Yacht Club wedding was a beautiful celebration of summer, color, and connection—proof that a classic waterfront setting can be transformed into something vibrant, personal, and entirely unforgettable.
