MODERN MEETS ETHEREAL: A GARDEN WEDDING IN THE HUDSON VALLEY
Some weddings feel effortlessly timeless while still embracing a modern fashion aesthetic, and Emilia and Christina’s summer celebration in the Hudson Valley was exactly that.
Set against the lush gardens of New York’s Valley Rock Inn, every detail struck a beautiful. Balance between clean sophistication and romantic softness. From the garden ceremony surrounded by blooming white hydrangeas to the vibrant floral-filled reception beneath a Sperry Tent, the day felt refined and joyful.
Beth Chapman Styling was honored to provide day-of wedding dressing services for both brides, ensuring every fashion detail was beautifully prepared while allowing Emilia and Chris to remain fully present throughout one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

Two Distinct Bridal Looks, One Beautiful Vision
One of our favorite aspects of this wedding was how each bride remained completed true to her own personal style while still creating a cohesive overall aesthetic together.
Emilia wore a stunning strapless Vera Wang fit-and-flare gown that paired structured tailoring with delicate layers of soft tulle. The clean lines and architectural silhouette felt effortlessly modern while maintaining an understated elegance that perfectly suited the garden setting.
Chris selected a romantic strapless ball gown by KYHA Studios featuring a sheer corset bodice, exposed boning and layers of ethereal tulle. The soft volume and delicate construction created an airy silhouette that felt made for a summer garden celebration.
Together, their gowns showcased two completed different interpretations of modern bridal fashion, one sleek and structured while the other soft and romantic, creating a look that felt both editorial and timeless.
Behind-The-Scenes Of Our Wedding Dressing Services For Two Brides
Supporting two brides on one wedding day requires thoughtful coordination, careful timing, and an experienced team working seamlessly behind the scenes.
Our role focused exclusively on wedding day dressing services, assisting both Emilia and Chris with every fashion detail from the moment they stepped into their gowns through the final preparations before walking down the aisle.
From steaming each gown and veil to carefully dressing both brides, perfecting every layer of tulle, managing delicate fabrics, and making final adjustments before portraits and the ceremony, our goal was to create a calm, organized environment where they could simply enjoy the excitement of the morning together with their loved ones.
These key behind-the-scenes moments often go unnoticed, but they allow every photograph and every memory to unfold without distraction.
A Garden Wedding Full of Modern Romance and Vibrant Details
Emilia and Chris exchanged vows in Valley Rock Inn’s beautiful Shade Garden, surrounded by trees and abundant white hydrangeas that created a naturally elegant backdrop.
The ceremony embraced the beauty of the landscape rather than competing with it, allowing the gardens to become part of the overall design. The soft greenery and organic floral surroundings perfectly complemented both bridal looks, creating photographs that feel timeless and effortlessly romantic.
Following the ceremony, guests celebrated beneath a beautifully draped Sperry Tent filled with vibrant florals, warm amber tones, and colorful tablescapes that reflected the couple’s playful yet elevated vision for the wedding day.
Fashion Support Throughout the Wedding Day
From the first moments of getting ready until the celebration was well underway, our team remained focused on every fashion detail.
Our goal is always to ensure couples never have to worry about their wardrobe once they’re dressed so we handle the steaming, veil placement, arranging of trains, and so much more.
It’s these quiet moments behind the scenes that allow couples to focus on what matters most… celebrating!
We are incredibly honored to have been part of Emilia and Chris’ unforgettable wedding day and we are thrilled to share these beautiful images captured by Jenny Fu Studio…
