A Classically Romantic & Beautiful Wedding at Aldie Mansion

A newlywed couple kisses and embraces on a lawn in front of the historic Aldie Mansion, surrounded by trees—a picturesque moment from their wedding at Aldie Mansion.

I’m a firm believer that your wedding should reflect you and your partner as not only individuals but also as a couple—and boy, was Aldie Mansion the perfect wedding venue for Kaethe and Chris?!

Just like Kaethe and Chris, this stunning Bucks County wedding venue is classically romantic and beautiful; a mansion that radiates fairytale romance and elegance. Aldie Mansion is the perfect venue for a classic, romantic English Garden wedding. Suppose you’re in search of a venue that radiates the feeling of old Hollywood, a classic romantic getaway from the city. In that case, Aldie Mansion, in the heart of Doylestown, is one of our favorite recommendations. Honestly, their bridal and groom suites alone are some of the most beautiful in the Philadelphia region, and the garden ceremony space is great for either sunny or cloudy weather, as it’s in a secluded area of the property that is encapsulated by greenery.

Kaethe, a New York Times bestselling author, and Chris, a former professional ballet dancer with a love for vintage cars, just exhuberate the fairytale young love you read about and see in movies. Their Bucks County wedding day at the romantic Aldie Mansion was a perfect example of their aesthetic and was filled with, what some may assume to be, minor details, such as Chris’ tux with coattails, Kaethe’s bird cage veil, or especially the cocktail napkins that had quotes from classic novels, that were really a true reflection of them.

Thankfully, the unexpected downpour that occurred that morning didn’t put a damper on anyone’s spirits, and just dampened the ground a bit – but we worked around that, and there was no need for any stress! Things were still to continue on schedule, just as planned, as Kaethe and Chris had their private first look, portraits, ceremony, and cocktail hour on the gorgeous outdoor grounds of the mansion.

Unsurprisingly, given that Kaethe is a romantic novelist, and Chris’s background in professional ballet is a romantic art within itself, their ceremony vows to one another were incredibly emotional and romantic. Of course, there were playful nods to the couple’s shared love of classic literature, and the ceremony ended with tons of happy tears shed between all of the couple’s closest loved ones.

The cocktail hour in itself felt like a party, as you could feel the love and happiness radiating off of everyone present on Aldie Mansion’s spacious patio, with the perfect view of the grand lawn. My favorite detail from cocktail hour was the cute, mini hand-painted floral canvases (painted by none other than Kaethe’s very own grandfather) that acted as guests’ seating chart. This was just one of the many small details that made the overall day perfect and so very “Kaethe and Chris.”

The reception took place in the indoor ballroom, where the overall encapsulating feeling of love continued. The night kicked off with a breathtaking, choreographed first dance shared between the happy couple, and was, of course, executed perfectly as you would expect from a former ballet dancer. Kaethe and Chris’s first dance was beautifully followed up by toasts from both of their parents, as well as their maid of honor and best man, before we snuck the happy couple away for one last stroll through the mansion’s grounds to grab an evening set of portraits before the reception kicked into gear and the dancing took underway.

At the conclusion of the reception and after Kaethe’s quick outfit change, the couple departed from the reception at Aldie Mansion through a classically beautiful sparkler exit that led them to their perfect getaway car, a vintage Mercedes that would take them on their next journey together, their honeymoon in Martha’s Vineyard.
