A Villanova Wedding at Appleford Estate

There is something uniquely magical about A Villanova Wedding at Appleford Estate, especially in early September when summer warmth meets the first quiet hints of fall. Appleford’s gardens feel vibrant, the stone architecture glows in the afternoon light, and every corner of the estate becomes the perfect backdrop for a romantic celebration.

Ronnie and Jean were drawn to Appleford Estate for its intimate charm, timeless beauty, and natural elegance. Their entire day reflected the soft, effortless connection they share. For a glimpse into the beginning of their story, you can visit their engagement session here:

Bridal Details With Timeless Elegance

Ronnie wore a classic satin gown from Lovely Bride. Designed by SAINT Bridal Couture, the gown paired clean, structured lines with a soft romantic finish. It was a look that felt both modern and timeless.

Her bouquet from Gardena Floral was the perfect transition between seasons. Blush, mauve, ivory, and subtle fall tones blended beautifully, creating a palette that felt natural for an early September wedding.

A Romantic Garden Ceremony at Appleford Estate

The ceremony took place within the lush gardens of Appleford Estate, a setting that feels private and enchanting. Because A Villanova Wedding at Appleford Estate naturally embraces its surroundings, the greenery and stonework became part of their story.

Evelyn of Love & Laughter Weddings guided the ceremony with warmth and intention. Guests listened as soft breezes moved through the trees, creating a moment that felt peaceful and deeply personal.

Soft Fall Bridesmaid Colors for a September Celebration

Ronnie’s bridesmaids wore a beautifully varied palette of pink, yellow, burgundy, and mauve — each dress from Revelry adding depth and character. The mix-and-match tones photographed effortlessly in the gardens.

Jean and his groomsmen wore classic custom tuxedos from Indochino, offering a sharp, modern contrast against the soft garden backdrop.

Portraits Throughout the Estate

One of the reasons I adore A Villanova Wedding at Appleford Estate is the endless variety of portrait locations. The willow trees, stone pathways, reflective pools, and secluded garden corners all create opportunities for romantic imagery.

Ronnie and Jean’s portraits felt natural, gentle, and sincere — every moment reflecting their effortless connection.

A Warm and Joyful Reception Under the Tent

Their reception, catered by Seedling and Sage, brought warmth and charm to the evening. Neutral linens, floral centerpieces, and candlelight created a welcoming atmosphere as guests entered the tent.

The music from Luvdup DJs kept the celebration lively and personal. Later, their elegant cake from Bredenbeck’s Bakery offered a sweet finish to a perfect night.

As the sky darkened, guests gathered under glowing lights, sharing laughter, stories, and love — the perfect close to A Villanova Wedding at Appleford Estate.
