Blue delphiniums, known for their numerous, lively blooms and towering height, have long symbolized dignity and grace. Inspired by the delicate allure of these flowers, the enchanting and historic Ludlow Mansion Events in Monroe, Wisconsin, became the canvas for a lavish garden party wedding design brimming with elegance. Orange Door Weddings composed this blue delphinium-inspired affair with intentionality and expertise as each detail came together to create a swoon-worthy celebration of chivalry and romance.
