BLITHEWOLD
Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum
The setting of our wedding is the historic Blithewold Mansion, Gardens and Arboretum in Bristol, Rhode Island. Set a mere 12 miles north of downtown Newport, the Blithewold boasts a breathtaking view of the Narraganset Bay from it's colorful gardens, across the meticulously manicured Great Lawn.
Now a public museum and award winning garden, the 33-acre estate will be host to our marriage ceremony in the North Garden, cocktail hour along the mansion's back patio and upper lawn, and dinner/dancing under the tent. We're excited to bring all of our family and friends to this beautiful property, and hope you find a few moments (preferably with drink in hand!) to tour the myriad of gardens of rare and exotic plant species while celebrating our wedding.
