Some weddings are straight out of a storybook, and Baylie and Jerry’s October 6th wedding at Aldie Mansion was no exception. Picture this: golden leaves swirling through the air, dreamy sun flares filtering through the trees, and a soft pink and green color palette that perfectly complemented the changing season. It was the perfect day to celebrate a love as beautiful as theirs.
A English Cottage Venue Fit for a Fairytale
If you’ve never been to Aldie Mansion, let me tell you—it’s like stepping into another era. This incredible Pennsylvania wedding venue, modeled after the Compton Wynyates estate in Warwickshire, England, is a hidden gem just outside of Philadelphia.
The mansion’s towering ivy-covered brickwork, ornate windows, and gardens create the perfect setting for an English Country themed wedding in any season. If you’re on the hunt for the best wedding venue in Pennsylvania, this estate will steal your heart.

A Touching Ketubah Signing Ceremony
The wedding day began with an intimate Ketubah signing ceremony, a tradition that beautifully captured Baylie and Jerry’s shared faith. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they signed the intricately designed marriage contract. It was such a heartfelt moment that set the tone for the rest of their unforgettable day.
Soft Pink & Green Wedding Color Palette
Can we talk about this pink and green wedding color palette?! From the bridesmaid dresses in varying shades of blush and rose to the elegant green accents in the floral arrangements and invitation suite, every detail felt effortlessly cohesive. The stationery featured delicate gold details, an embossed wax seal, and pops of pink and emerald green. The entire suite was a work of art!
Outdoor Photo Spots for A Wedding at Aldie Mansion
With the leaves at their peak fall colors and gently cascading to the ground, the outdoor photos were nothing short of magical. The golden hour light at Aldie Mansion—let’s just say I was swooning behind the lens!
We staged wedding party photos at the front gates and by the main entrance to the mansion. The arched windows and doorways in the brick facade made a beautiful backdrop. This gorgeous hydrangea bush hedge perfectly framed the couple’s family photos!
There’s something so special about a fall wedding at a Pennsylvania estate wedding venue like this! Every photo looks like it belongs in a glossy magazine.
The Ceremony & Reception
The ceremony took place in the mansion’s stunning outdoor garden; the natural greenery provided the perfect backdrop for pink and green florals. As Baylie walked down the aisle, the sunlight caught her veil, and I swear everyone’s breath caught too. Jerry’s face said it all—pure love and awe.
The reception was just as enchanting. From the delicate string lights overhead to the tables adorned with pink blooms, it was a celebration guests won’t forget.
