Over the weekend Tim and I snuck down to Newport, RI for a little R&R, a few mansion tours, and some yummy lobsters. While strolling though the Vanderbilts Breakers on Saturday we were lucky enough to see them setting up for a wedding that evening. I couldn’t help but peek into the tent and check out the sorbet themed reception in the works. Yummy yellows, soft orange and pink was a perfect color palette for the mid August affair in the gilded summer cottage.

While chatting with some friends later that evening we got a great insiders tip! If you looking to have your wedding reception at one of the stunning seaside mansions in Newport, Rhode Island, but can’t afford the hefty  rental fee of The Breakers. Check out some of the  properties that have the same view and same grandeur, it’s just not “The Breakers”.  Also, check into  privately owned and operated Mansions again it’s not going to read “The  Breakers” on the invitation but it’s will state a Newport Mansion… I am doing a bit digging on this and will be sure to share my results. I would imagine local wedding planners in Newport would have the full inside scoop!
