Amanda and Trevor first met in middle school. Ah, the old-school playground days. Once they began high school, it was there that their relationship fostered and grew. Amanda and Trevor stayed together all throughout high school and even through Amanda’s move to Philadelphia for law school. Trevor followed Amanda and through law school, their love only grew stronger until one day it was time to make the next step. It was on a beautiful day in Logan Square that Trevor got down on one knee and proposed to Amanda. After an eventful and emotional day, Amanda and Trevor shortly after began planning their dream Appleford Estate Summer wedding.
The Appleford Estate is a historic estate on 24 acres of land in Villanova, Pennsylvania. Amongst the beautiful estate lie ponds, waterfalls, and manicured gardens along with an arboretum and bird sanctuary. The main feature of this estate is the stunning grounds that are the perfect backdrop for your wedding photos. Everything from their rose garden to the towering trees are just some of the many wonders that you can find at this Pennsylvania wedding venue. Some people may say that fairytales aren’t real, but if you’re looking for that fairytale-type wedding, the Appleford Estate is the place.
The Appleford Estate is the perfect Pennsylvania wedding venue if you want plenty of space for wedding portraits. This is especially perfect if you’re having a bit larger of a wedding party or a large family, we need all the space we can get! This Pennsylvania wedding venue is also perfect for couples who want to incorporate an indoor/outdoor space. The Appleford Estate allows the use of their Music Room, the Pine Room, the Dining Room, the Kitchen, and a Groom’s Lounge. Giving couples plenty of space both inside the Appleford Estate as well as the grand exterior. Lastly, if you’re someone wanting to involve their fur baby on their wedding day… you’re in Luck.

Appleford Estate has some of the best wedding amenities as far as Pennsylvania wedding venues are concerned. The amenities that they offer their couples allow for a more hands-off experience for their wedding day as well as feel taken care of by their wedding venue. Some of the Appleford Estate wedding amenities are:
It was the middle of July and the Summer weather was just divine. Amanda and Trevor wanted their wedding day to emulate a romantic garden feel. Luckily, the Appleford Estate offers quite the property to give just the look that they were looking for. Their color scheme of champagne and blush pink was the perfect pairing for a stunning Summer palette. It was important for Amanda and Trevor to have a timeless, chic, and romantic feel to their wedding day. So this classic and timeless color palette was right up their alley.
Amanda and Trevor chose to have a beautiful first-look moment in one of the stunning garden spaces at the Appleford Estate. First looks are always a good choice if you want a bit more intimacy and alone time with your partner on your wedding day. Something to consider if you want to set aside time on your special day for a moment like this. Before the ceremony, we were able to take portraits with the sun shining down on us and it was exactly what we needed. Both Amanda and Trevor looked like supermodels in front of the camera and moved swiftly and naturally.
Shortly after, friends and family gathered outside for their outdoor romantic garden wedding ceremony. It was an emotional moment for everyone and getting to witness Amanda and Trevor exchange vows is always one of my favorite moments on a wedding day.
One thing that is certain about the Appleford Estate is its ability to transform its reception space. Thanks to Mark Bryan Floral Designs, the florals throughout the reception area along with the centerpieces were remarkable. Throughout the rest of the night at their Appleford Estate wedding reception, guests embraced the love that we were celebrating for Amanda and Trevor. Best Philly Photobooth knocked it out of the park and gave guests a top-notch wedding experience to remember the beautiful moments of this Summer night. It was a beautiful wedding day celebrating Amanda and Trevor at the Appleford Estate that we will never forget.
