This opulent stylized wedding inspiration shoot at Bois Dore Chateau in Newport, RI was romantic, organic, and airy. Bois Dore Chateau is a privately owned mansion in the heart of Newport’s historic district and, while it is not available for real weddings, it was the perfect venue for this Newport RI mansion wedding inspiration editorial.

Newport RI mansions wedding editorial

Newport, RI has so many ornate and historic mansions to host your wedding. From the Rosecliff to Marble House, Newport is a prime destination for a historic mansion wedding. If you’re looking to host a more intimate wedding editorial in Newport, RI this editorial will give you the perfect inspiration!

Planner and designer Stephanie King, of Stephanie King Events, wanted to highlight what a couple could do when they host an intimate wedding at a private estate. And boy, did she kick this inspirational wedding shoot out of the park!

The ceremony location, adorned with unique Dr. Seuss-like florals from Wild Dahlia, was selected to spotlight the estate’s 1927 French chateau-style architecture. When planning your own private estate wedding, keep accessibility for guests in mind – while this ceremony design was gorgeous, it used the driveway and thus could only be set up once everyone was on site.

Ashley’s flouncy dress, from Lovely Bride Providence, featured a deep veep neckline and a billowy train that danced with every movement. You know I’m here for a flowy, movement-friendly dress and Ashley’s did not disappoint!  

Playing with the mansion’s French chateau vibe, Stephanie wanted to include a Vespa Bar provided by Bubbles and Brews. The Vespa gives me “sunset rides along the Mediterranean” vibes and it’s a fun, interactive experience for guests at cocktail hour. Pour the Prosecco please and thank you!

Following the cocktail hour scene, we go into the reception. This reception scene featured monogrammed wine favors from Newport Vineyards, dainty lace linens from Reverie Social, and bespoke menus with a charming tassel designed by Merrow Creative. And did you see the cake?! It was too pretty to eat…though, I really wanted to!

Please Note: The owners of Bois Dore Chateau would like to note that their space is not available for weddings. The purpose of this wedding editorial is to serve as inspiration for private estate and Newport mansion weddings only.
