Summertime Tudor House Wedding

There’s just something magical about a summertime Tudor House wedding — that golden Lake Erie light, the old-world charm of the estate, and the gentle hum of summer in full bloom. The Tudor House at Geneva-on-the-Lake feels like it was made for romance. Every stone, every garden pathway, every lakeside view seems to whisper timeless love story.

The Tudor House: A Hidden Gem by the Lake

If you’ve ever dreamt of a wedding that feels elegant yet relaxed, the Tudor House might just steal your heart. Its storybook architecture, leaded glass windows, and peaceful gardens make it feel like a European escape — without leaving Ohio.

In summer, the property transforms. Flowers spill from every corner, the lake sparkles in the distance, and golden light pours through the trees. It’s the kind of place where laughter carries across the lawn, and memories seem to linger in the air.

Working with Kirk Brides

It’s always a treat to collaborate with Kirk Brides, and this celebration was no exception. Jayna, one of their incredible lead planners, made the entire day feel effortless. Her calm energy and eye for detail set the tone for a wedding that was not only beautiful but also deeply personal.

From the ceremony setup overlooking the lake to the refined tablescapes, Jayna and her team wove every detail together seamlessly. They have this remarkable way of honoring a couple’s vision while keeping the day stress-free — and at a venue like the Tudor House, that makes all the difference.

A Palette That Felt Like Summer

This summertime Tudor House wedding embraced a soft, romantic color story — think blush, ivory, sage, and gentle touches of gold. The florals were full of texture and movement: garden roses, ranunculus, and layers of greenery that echoed the natural beauty all around.

Everything felt light, elegant, and completely in harmony with the season. The design didn’t try too hard — it simply let the venue shine.

Vows Beside the Water

The ceremony took place on the lawn overlooking Lake Erie. Guests gathered beneath the shade of the old trees, and a soft breeze carried across the water as the couple exchanged vows. The lake shimmered behind them, reflecting the sunlight in that perfect, cinematic way you can’t quite plan — but always hope for.

It was serene, heartfelt, and completely them.

Dinner, Dancing, and the Most Beautiful Sunset

As the sun dipped lower, everyone moved to the terrace for dinner under the stars. String lights twinkled overhead, laughter filled the air, and the lake turned shades of rose gold and lavender.

The Tudor House glowed behind the couple’s first dance — a soft, golden backdrop to a night that felt like a dream. It’s those little, fleeting moments that remind me why I love what I do: capturing emotion as it happens, real and unposed.

Why a Summer Wedding at the Tudor House Just Works

The Tudor House was made for summer celebrations. The long, golden evenings. The sound of the lake in the distance. The way the air feels just a little bit sweeter when surrounded by family, friends, and the promise of forever.

If you’re drawn to classic beauty with a touch of lakeside magic, a Tudor House wedding might be your perfect match.
