Elegant Summer Wedding at Parque Ridley Creek

Shannon and Joel’s elegant summer wedding at Parque Ridley Creek was a timeless celebration of romance and artistry. Set within the historic stone walls and manicured gardens of this Pennsylvania estate, their day unfolded like a modern fairytale. Cascading florals, refined details, and an atmosphere of effortless grace surrounded every moment. The couple’s vision of vintage blues and soft creams paired beautifully with the venue’s natural charm, creating a scene that felt both classic and ethereal.

A Vintage Blue and Cream Wedding Vision

Drawing inspiration from old-world elegance and European garden romance, Shannon envisioned a color palette that felt sophisticated yet serene. The ceremony took place in the garden by the iconic fountain, overflowing with lush blooms in ivory, pale blue, and soft greenery. Designed by Accents by Michele, the florals created a breathtaking focal point that perfectly complemented the estate’s stone architecture.

Shannon’s couture ballgown by Dany Tabet featured a structured corset back and sweeping train that floated gracefully across the stone pathways. As a NYC model, she carried herself with natural poise. Her cathedral-length veil caught the light in delicate, airy layers. Meanwhile, the gentlemen wore classic black tuxedos, which added a touch of contrast to the soft summer palette. The look was timeless, refined, and effortlessly romantic.

Every element of this wedding reflected a balance of refinement and warmth. The fountain ceremony was followed by a reception that carried the same soft elegance. Candlelight, delicate blue accents, and cream-toned florals filled the stone reception space. The combination of chiffon, lace, and natural textures told a story of romance and grace.

The day was carefully planned to prioritize the couple’s portrait experience. This allowed time for romantic, editorial imagery that captured the grandeur of Shannon’s gown and the serenity of the grounds. From wide garden shots to sweeping veil portraits, each image echoed their desire for timeless, artful photography.
