Ethereal Elegance in a Gilded Mansion

The "Mid-November Night's Dream" wedding of Amelia and Colin was brought to life by planner Ashley Albanese and captured by photographer Abby Hart. Their celebration unfolded on Friday, November 7th, at Rosecliff Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, the very location where their romance first blossomed. Inspired by Shakespearean whimsy, the elegance of swans, and the painterly romance of Monet, the couple transformed the venue into a living love letter. Set against Rosecliff's painted skies and illuminated by candlelight, the evening was designed to feel immersive and dreamlike, blending Gilded Age grandeur with ethereal autumnal magic and modern artistry. Every detail contributed to this vision, from the hand-drawn swans on their save-the-dates and the personal love letters written to each guest, to the sweeping florals and luminous tones woven throughout the design, inviting everyone to step into their carefully crafted dream.
