A Summer Fairy-Tale Wedding in a Historic New York Hotel

A touching surprise awaited James’s family at the illuminated bar: a personalized bar sign honoring his father. This gesture warmed their hearts and added a meaningful touch to their celebration.

Their wedding was a picturesque event held at the stunning Troutbeck, nestled in the heart of Upstate New York. Troutbeck has served as an enchanting private estate, country inn, and tavern since the 1700s and has, for centuries, been a favored retreat of distinguished guests influential in the arts, letters, matters of policy, and social justice. During the tenure of the estate’s first owners, the Benton Family, it frequently hosted luminaries such as Thoreau, Emerson, and the naturalist John Burroughs. Can you imagine a more romantic place steeped in the spirit of time, creating a unique, incredible atmosphere of mystery and enchantment?

Let’s give credit to the remarkable skills of makeup and hair artist Maria Shevchenko, who not only graced the bride with her makeup artistry but did so with an extraordinary level of expertise. She skillfully handpicked the ideal makeup palette, perfectly aligning it with the bride’s overall aesthetic and the timeless elegance of the wedding and effortlessly enhancing every facet of Caroline’s innate beauty and allure.

The bride’s makeup featured a dewy and natural glow, drawing inspiration from Charlotte Tilbury’s signature style, which flawlessly complemented her overall look. Caroline chose a sleek, low-bun hairstyle that perfectly matched the classic and elegant theme of the event. This carefully chosen hairstyle not only added a touch of sophistication but also ensured that it would hold up beautifully throughout the entire day and into the lively party night.

Caroline looked absolutely radiant on her special day, donning a timeless gown designed by Oscar De La Renta. The dress perfectly captured the classic essence of the wedding theme while adding a touch of modern elegance, completing the look with a lace veil.

Miguel, holding his breath, awaited the meeting with his beautiful bride, while his friends alleviated the suspenseful moments of anticipation with their support.

Caroline opted for a breathtaking mono-bunch of white anthurium as her wedding bouquet, symbolizing unbridled happiness, serenity, and purity.

On her way to the ceremony spot, the bride was elegantly escorted by her cherished father in a lavish vintage automobile that seamlessly melded with the enchanting ambiance of the wedding venue. Sharing the palpable excitement and boundless joy of the forthcoming event with her beloved father is everything. Without a doubt, this was a profoundly significant moment for Caroline, etched in her memories.

The enchanting ceremony occurred within the walls of a picturesque chapel in the presence of their dearest and closest loved ones. They sealed their love in that ethereal moment, binding their hearts together for eternity.

The venue, Troutbeck, provided the ideal backdrop for the couple’s dream wedding. Surrounded by magnificent scenery and exuding a charming ambiance, it created an enchanting atmosphere that harmonized with the vintage vibes and summer ambiance of the event. The profusion of flowers, bursting with a riot of hues and captivating scents, deepened the romantic ambiance, breathing life into their vintage-summer tableau.

The wedding venue underwent a breathtaking transformation into a floral wonderland that perfectly captured the essence of Caroline and Miguel’s classic summer nuptials. An artful and thoughtfully curated selection of flowers infused every corner of the venue with bursts of color, fragrance, and natural beauty, elevating the overall ambiance.

Lush arrangements of peonies, roses, hydrangeas, lilacs, and orchids adorned each table in the reception area. Every detail, from the elegant bouquets carried by the bridesmaids to the floral accents on the wedding cake, was carefully designed to harmonize with the vintage summer theme.

Caroline and Miguel’s classic wedding was unquestionably a day to be cherished, brimming with love, joy, and timeless elegance that resonated through every detail of the ceremony and celebration.

Caroline’s radiance was undoubted! She shimmered like a brilliant star in the sky of joy, happiness, and boundless celebration of love. One of the vital and weighty decisions in wedding preparation is the choice of a makeup artist. And Maria Shevchenko excelled splendidly, ensuring that the bride not only sparkled but felt resplendent on this momentous day that meant the world to her.
