Every bride needs something old new, borrowed and blue. These brides made their bouquets blue, and don’t we just love it! Many flowers come naturally in blue, like hydrangeas, orchids, morning glory, iris, butterfly bush, african lily, delphinium, the list goes on and on. Never fear, if your favorite flower comes in a different color, florists can make white flowers blue with a bit of die. Check out the stunning blue roses a few pictures down!

Overlooking the beautiful Narragansett Bay in Warwick Rhode Island, the seventy-room, French chateau sits on seventy-five acres. Just north of Newport, the Aldrich Mansion has the luxurious feel of Newport but a bit more space and quiet that a venue right in downtown. Inside the mansion events are held in the Aldrich and the Ivory dining rooms, each holding 100 people. An enclosed porch can hold an intimate group of 30.Tented events on the lawn can hold many more guests.

The architecture of the Aldrich mansion provides enough decoration to keep visitors occupied for hours. Add your own flair, and guests will never be bored. The Aldrich Mansion is owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence and couples have the option of using the Catholic Chapel on sight. Like the main house, the chapel has rich ornate detailing that barely needs decoration. If you are looking for beautiful lawns, ocean views, and a gilded age mansion for the wedding of your dreams, Aldrich house is the venue for you.
