In the picturesque town of Wake Forest, NC, nestled among ancient oaks and stately magnolias, Brittany and Jeremy celebrated their love at The Sutherland last September. This venue that beautifully bridges the gap between historical charm and modern elegance. Renowned for its sprawling gardens and elegant indoor spaces, the Sutherland provided the perfect backdrop for their unforgettable September wedding day.
Brittany is a proud NC State alum originally from Raleigh. Jeremy is a dedicated member of the Army with roots in Houston and Indianapolis. Together they shared a love story that reads like a fairytale. Their engagement on Valentine’s Day in Chicago, where they currently reside, set the stage for a wedding that was nothing short of magical.
The day began with a severe thunderstorm, casting uncertainty over their planned outdoor ceremony. However, the skies cleared just in time for the couple to walk down the aisle. Thanks to the swift actions of the planner and The Sutherland team, they were able to carry out the original plan. They moved the floral installation and wiped down chairs, ensuring the ceremony could proceed outdoors as envisioned. The ceremony space’s design, complete with built-in drains, swiftly whisked the water away, leaving behind a setting that was nothing short of breathtaking.
Brittany envisioned herself not merely as a bride but as a queen on her wedding day. She found a gown that radiated glamour and sophistication from Lovely Bride Chicago. This theme of elegance was echoed in her choice of sleek, sophisticated black gowns from Azazie for her bridesmaids. The groom and his groomsmen opted for chic tuxedos from The Black Tux. They kept the royal vibe and insured the wedding party’s attire was nothing short of majestic.
For Brittany and Jeremy, family is everything. The ceremony was a beautiful testament to this. Jeremy’s son playing a special role was a groomsmen along with Jeremy’s brothers. He even had a touching first look with Brittany. The decor, with bold reds and oranges, heralded the arrival of fall. They also included the tradition of jumping the broom which added a deeply meaningful touch to their union.
The reception was a vibrant celebration of their love, characterized by great music, delicious food, and generous drinks. A special song performed by Brittany’s sorority sisters added a personal and heartfelt moment to the festivities. DJ Harlem kept the dance floor full. The night concluded with a sparkler send-off, a fitting end to a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
