Nestled in the heart of Harkness State Park, Eolia Mansion served as the enchanting backdrop for this effortlessly elegant wedding. With its Rococo Revival charm and warm, welcoming atmosphere, the venue transformed the day into a celebration straight out of a romantic film. Surrounded by lush gardens and timeless architecture, every detail came together to create a classic yet deeply personal experience for the couple and their guests.

The floral design was soft and ethereal, perfectly complementing the couple’s sweet and romantic vision. From the garden-style bouquet overflowing with cream garden roses, blush butterfly ranunculus, and delicate orlaya to the simple, timeless boutonniere crafted from a Majolika spray rose, each floral element felt as though it was handpicked from an idyllic garden.

The ceremony was held under the iconic pergola, a standout feature of Eolia Mansion, framed by a lush planted arch filled with local foliage and soft, luscious blooms. Even in the event of rain, the pergola offers the unique advantage of an elegant covered outdoor ceremony option—a rare find among Connecticut wedding venues.

Cocktail hour was equally dreamy, with delicate bud vases filled with white cosmos and butterfly ranunculus gracing the cocktail tables. Guests sipped on signature Aperol spritzes while admiring the wild, garden-inspired bar florals that added a playful yet refined touch to the atmosphere.

The reception design featured long banquet tables adorned with pink floral linens, a mix of pillar and taper candles in soft ivory tones, and eclectic votive candles nestled in vintage-inspired rocks glasses. Centerpieces were an artful combination of single-stem bud vases and ceramic bowls filled with Ikebana-style arrangements, lending a modern, organic aesthetic. The ceremony florals were thoughtfully repurposed throughout the space, creating a cohesive, garden-like ambiance that truly immersed guests in the couple’s vision.

The bride’s fashion was another highlight of the day, with a soft blush gown featuring delicate floral prints, a ruched sweetheart neckline, and corseted details—timeless yet daringly unique. Paired with blush heels, a simple long veil, and a classic chignon bun, her look epitomized effortless sophistication. The groom matched her elegance in a sharp black tuxedo with leather loafers, perfectly complementing the timeless aesthetic.

This wedding was a true celebration of love and individuality, blending classic and contemporary details with effortless charm. Every design element, from the wild mantlepiece installation to the hand-drawn live-edge invitations, was a testament to the couple’s personality and style.

For couples dreaming of a wedding that feels timeless yet fresh, romantic yet playful, Eolia Mansion offers a setting unlike any other. With its blend of history, charm, and natural beauty, combined with thoughtful floral design and personalized touches, it’s the perfect place to create an unforgettable celebration.
