Old Money-Inspired Summer Estate Weddings in Blue & White
Some weddings speak. Others whisper.
On a historic estate where ivy curls into corners and golden light skims the lawn, elegance doesn’t need to be announced. It’s simply felt—in the hush of tailored linens, the cool curve of silver flatware, the way florals lean just so in the breeze. These are weddings that feel like a summer weekend retreat, not a performance. A gathering of old friends, heirloom details, and lasting joy.
Inspired by the Old Money aesthetic—one rooted in heritage, intention, and quiet refinement—this new series explores how soft tonal blues can be woven into timeless wedding design. From dusty delphinium to chambray rose and slate-gray ribbon, blue becomes not a statement, but a mood: gentle, romantic, enduring.
Below, discover three distinct interpretations of the Old Money wedding in blue. Each tells its own love story—rooted in restraint, softened by style.

Getting Ready
The day begins in a sunlit room with high windows and textured walls the color of golden linen. The bride’s bouquet—a blend of dusty blue and ivory blooms—rests nearby, while a silk ribbon slips across vintage tile. Navy Austin roses meet white tulips, Iceland poppies, and Blue chrysanthemum in an arrangement that feels tender and intentional.
The Ceremony
Six columns frame the ceremony space, wrapped in low floral arrangements that appear gently grown, not placed. White and soft blue blooms mix with mint vine and eucalyptus, while light spills in like a blessing. Round-backed chairs face the altar in quiet rows, holding space for a moment that feels suspended in time.
The Sweetheart Table
Set near the windows, the sweetheart table glows with candlelight and subtle grandeur. Florals rise and fall in soft movement—dahlia, rose, morning glory—surrounded by flickering tapers and soft greenery. Everything feels personal and poetic, built for the kind of love that lingers.
Sunny · Relaxed · Classic
A courtyard celebration that captures the warmth of tradition with the ease of a golden afternoon. Simple, unfussy, and full of familiar charm.

The Guest Table
Tables are tucked beneath leafy branches, where light plays across soft blue linens and shimmering glassware. Low vessels hold sculptural florals in white and sky blue, while brass candlesticks rise and fall in easy rhythm. There’s no rush—just the soft clink of cutlery and the hush of sunlight on porcelain.
The Cake Table
Set against a pale stone wall, the cake table is framed in florals and flickering gold. Roses, ranunculus, and gardenias circle the base, paired with tulips and soft greens. It’s not grand, but it is unforgettable—a moment of quiet elegance as the day shifts into evening.

Outside, the pool is still. Inside, the bride adjusts a ribbon while florals are loosely tied with mint vine and blueberry accents. Provence blue roses, blue nigella, and blue melastoma fill the air with calm energy and natural beauty.
The Guest Table
Linen-draped tables stretch beneath the sky, layered with ivory folds, hand-lettered menus, and translucent vessels that hold florals in quiet motion. Blooms lean gently toward the sun, catching its glow like water across glass. There’s intimacy in the openness, a feeling of closeness without crowding.
The Cocktail Table
Glassware clinks softly under parasols. Blue and white arrangements flutter in the breeze. The setting is casual but elevated—like slipping off your shoes on marble tile. Blue roses and rose vine move like brushstrokes, defining the hour with warmth and light.
