For couples dreaming of planning a vintage mansion wedding, there is no better venue than Linden Place in Bristol, Rhode Island. This Federal-style mansion is steeped in history, offering an elegant and timeless backdrop for any wedding celebration. Its stately charm, coupled with the estate’s beautifully manicured gardens, provides the perfect setting for a wedding that feels both historic and romantic.
With its sprawling estate and carefully preserved architectural details, Linden Place set the scene for a wedding that echoed the sophistication and elegance of a bygone era. The mansion’s white facade, black shutters, and stately columns made the perfect backdrop for this styled shoot, transporting us to a time of grand celebrations and refined gatherings.
Creating a Vintage Mansion Wedding Atmosphere
To capture the essence of a vintage mansion wedding, each vendor thoughtfully curated every detail. From our custom wedding invitation suite featuring intricate calligraphy to the soft pastel tones of the bride’s whimsical gown, the aesthetic was equal parts luxurious and nostalgic.
Custom Wedding Invitations
Our custom wedding invitations set the tone for the day. We crafted a vintage-inspired suite featuring soft blue hues and gold accents. Heather and I chose delicate floral illustrations for the envelope liners and an elegant script font to reflect the historical setting of Linden Place. Paired with a wax seal and a silk ribbon, each invitation felt like a treasured keepsake.
A Timeless Tablescape for a Vintage Mansion Wedding
The reception tablescape was a true reflection of the vintage aesthetic, thoughtfully designed to complement the historic charm of Linden Place. The table was dressed in a beautiful patterned blue and white linen, evoking a classic yet romantic feel. Delicate floral arrangements of white roses, hydrangeas, and lush greenery set the perfect tone for an intimate reception.
Custom Menus and Place Settings
The table settings were equally exquisite. We created custom menus tied with soft blue silk ribbon to match the overall aesthetic. The menus were printed with delicate script font and detailed the gourmet selections of the evening. The vintage plates and glassware added just the right amount of luxury to the setup, enhancing the sense of timeless sophistication.
Elegant Decor and Details
The tablescape was completed with romantic taper candles in glass candle holders, creating a warm and inviting glow. Lemons and pears were also added to the decor as natural accents. We love how they brought a touch of whimsy and fresh charm to the scene! This old-world elegance combined with modern touches perfectly captured the essence of a vintage mansion wedding.
The Bride’s Whimsical Look
The bride’s gown was the perfect mix of whimsy and vintage romance. Her floral-embroidered dress featured voluminous sleeves and a pearl corset bodice that brought an ethereal touch to the day. Paired with soft, romantic waves in her hair, the look was both timeless and contemporary. It seamlessly blended past and present in the perfect vintage style.
