TWEED VALLEY WEDDING

Georgia & KaesBotanica Plantation House wedding, Tweed Valley

Black tie on a hilltop above the cane fields — a ceremony under the Poinciana, golden hour on the fence line, and a dance floor that ended up on the bar.

Georgia & Kaes were married at Botanica Plantation House, with views giving out over the Tweed Valley. Black tie, a sneaky putting contest before the ceremony, vows under the big Poinciana with Wollumbin on the horizon, and a reception that finished with Georgia on the bar. A beautiful day and an epic party after dark.
