A Summer Wedding at the Ashford Estate with Brittany + Andrew
July 30, 2021
Ashford Estate Wedding
There’s nothing like a summer wedding. It was July at the Ashford Estate in New Jersey, pink and blue hydrangeas were at their peak, it was stunning. With the help of the Mother of the Bride, Brittany and Andrew began planning their dream wedding. From stunning stationary, to lush florals, and the perfect navy and grey color tones, everything came together beautifully.
Brittany + Andrew’s First Look at the Ashford Estate
Brittany and Andrew’s first look was surrounded by lush hydrangeas. With a tap on Andrew’s shoulder, they saw one another for the first time that day. The moment was special, it was joyous, it was theirs.
The Wedding Party
When the wedding party joined in, the party really got started. Brittany + Andrew’s nieces and nephew were so excited to twirl in their dresses, throw some flower petals, walk down the aisle and hold the rings… carefully.
The Ceremony
It was the perfect summer day for Brittany and Andrew’s outdoor ceremony. The Ashford Estate offered the perfect landscape for their ceremony dreams.
The Reception
Floor to ceiling windows offered the most magical landscape for an amazing reception at the Ashford Estate. With a large, circular dance floor and their epic band, the dancing didn’t stop.
