The charm of Rust Manor House set the stage for a wedding that was classic, elegant, and modern. Nestled in the peaceful embrace of a park, this venue provided a secluded, nature-inspired backdrop that perfectly matched the bride’s vision. She fell in love with the calmness of the surroundings, the sounds of birds chirping, and the bridal suite that served as her serene haven on a day sprinkled with rain.
This wedding was a dream realized, inspired by a mood board brimming with timeless elegance. A palette of white and green florals created a lush, sophisticated atmosphere, enhanced by navy bridesmaid dresses, black suits, and delicate touches of light blue in the ceremony florals and napkins. Gold accents added a layer of warmth and refinement, weaving a modern twist into the traditional aesthetic.
The ceremony was supposed to take place outdoors; however, Plan B was set in place when the light drizzle took over. The light drizzle added a romantic touch, making the exchange of vows feel even more intimate. Guests then enjoyed a cozy cocktail hour where they mingled and enjoyed the beauty of Rust Manor’s interiors.
This bridal details were so fun to photograph. Her love for details shone through in the carefully curated flat lays of her shoes, jewelry, and invitations. The rain may have sprinkled throughout the day, but it only added to the charm, reminding everyone that sometimes the little surprises of nature make a day even more unforgettable.
