Ashford Estate NJ Wedding: Julia & Danny

Julia and Danny :: Married :: Ashford Estate NJ Wedding

The Ashford Estate always lends to the most beautiful backdrop for a wedding day.  It did not fail for Julia & Danny’s September wedding shot by Vanessa Joy Photography.  The bride wore a stunning Martina Liana princess gown and her bridesmaids Tiffany Blue inspired Dessy Group dresses complimented her perfectly.  Read below for more details! Here’s a look back at their Ashford Estate NJ wedding.

Planning your own Ashford Estate wedding? A few things I’d suggest: one of the getting-ready rooms has a window seat with soft daylight, which makes a beautiful spot to photograph your gown and veil before you put them on. The ceremony room with its white beamed ceiling feels bright and airy in the afternoon, which suits a September date like Julia and Danny’s. In the ballroom, colored lighting makes the tall windows and chandelier stand out once it’s dark, so pick a shade that goes with your palette. And if you’re giving favors, lining them up on a round table in the hallway turns them into part of the decor.
