Newlyweds, Jessica and Kevin Hester, exchanged their vows at the historic SouthWood House in Tallahassee on a beautiful June afternoon. Jessica and her bridesmaids finished getting ready upstairs at the SouthWood House, while Kevin and his groomsmen got ready in the Magnolia Cottage behind the main house. The ceremony took place outside, under majestic oaks. Later, everyone enjoyed signature cocktails and delicious food at the reception in front of the house. The band had guests dancing for hours! At the end of the night, guests saw out the new Mr. and Mrs. Hester by throwing rose petals. Take a look at this gorgeous Tallahassee wedding!
