A Peaceful Wedding Morning on the Coast
The day began inside the bright and airy spaces of Gardiner House. The bride and groom shared a quiet moment together, framed by the venue’s tall windows and timeless white accents. Her bouquet—an elegant mix of white roses, sweet peas, stock, and lush greenery—set the tone for the entire celebration. It was simple, refined, and endlessly romantic. 🌿🤍
A Dreamy Bridal Look
The bride’s gown, a clean and modern silhouette with a graceful train, looked breathtaking against the artistic wallpaper and winding staircase inside Gardiner House. The soft florals she carried added just the right touch of movement and texture as she made her way down the stairs—one of the most beautiful and iconic photo spots in the venue.
The Ceremony Under a Floral Arch
Outside beneath the tent, guests gathered for a heartfelt ceremony. The floral arch was lush and full, featuring hydrangea, roses, ranunculus, snapdragons, and layered greenery. Even with a bit of coastal mist in the air, the space felt warm and inviting—string lights overhead and soft white draping created the perfect romantic backdrop. ✨
As the couple exchanged vows, the garden beyond the tent added gentle shades of green, tying the entire setting together in the most natural way.
Classic White Centerpieces for the Reception
The reception tables featured elegant compote arrangements designed with layers of soft white blooms. Hydrangea, roses, stock, and touches of astilbe created a look that felt fresh, airy, and perfectly suited for Gardiner House’s coastal charm.
Each table felt intentional and welcoming, with candlelight reflecting against glassware for a warm, inviting glow. The softness of the florals paired beautifully with the venue’s natural textures. This was complemented by the coastal-inspired décor.
A Romantic Sweetheart Table Moment
The sweetheart table was a true highlight of the evening. A lush floral meadow of white blooms framed the couple. Dozens of candles flickered around them. It created a cozy, intimate moment in the midst of the celebration. A space just for the two of them, filled with warmth and glow.
A Joyful Celebration
As the couple shared their first kiss under the floral arch, surrounded by cheers from loved ones, you could feel the happiness radiating through the space. Every floral detail was thoughtfully placed to allow the couple’s personalities and love story to shine through.
Gardiner House truly offers a one-of-a-kind setting for couples who appreciate classic design, refined details, and the beauty of Newport’s shoreline.
