Rhode Island Wedding at Blithewold | Lydia + Victor

A gorgeous garden wedding at one of Rhode Island’s historic summer estates? Yes, please!

Married at Blithewold, a place with amazing gardens and a 45-room (!) mansion overlooking Narragansett Bay, Lydia and Victor’s day was nothing short of magic and totally in synch with their story. See, these two met as counselors at a sleepaway summer camp, and love spending time together outside in summer. So, when it came time to choose a spot upon which to tie the knot, one visit to Blithewold and they were hooked. The views and gardens are sumptuous, and, in a perfect nod to how they met, the grounds had a tent—a super nice, enormous one, but still a tent!

Together, Lydia and Victor planned a personal, heartfelt celebration highlighting their shared Ukrainian heritage, as well as honey favors provided by Victor’s dad, who has kept bees for 20 years.

Lydia found her Lea-Ann Belter Simone gown at Jessica Haley Bridal and shares the details on that as well as her day on their blog.
