Fall Foliage near the Fountain

The Three Muses, our fountain, in Autumn

This picture of the fountain of the Three Muses, made of marble from Baci, Italy, was taken in the fall when the Copper Beech Tree just to the east of the fountain was a rich burgundy. The trunk of the Copper Beech is probably more than four feet in diameter. The area under the branches is covered by a soft mossy green covering and the roots poke thorough in a few places and leaves can grow off them right near the ground. A few of the roots hold water after a rainstorm and I have seen birds bathing there.

Attention to the Details

We often focus on the grandeur of the Winthrop Estate on the whole, and how majestic the design of the estate and the grounds is. But when you are actually in the estate, you can’t help but notice the smaller details. Like how the bathtubs are larger than any you would find in a hotel today because the Winthrop Estate is over a century old. And how the light reflects off the curtains in the dining room. And how each room is furnished down to the tiniest detail.

More than just weddings

This family played lawn games every afternoon of their vacation. They enjoyed frisbee, touch football, Wiffle Ball, and sun tanning.

A new addition

The marble topped side table and gilded mirror were added to the Dining Room just this past winter. It is the perfect place for flowers and seems to compliment the 20-armed chandelier perfectly.

Wedding Ceremony on the Lawn

This couple had their ceremony for about 90 guests on the lawn; rose petals were strewn on the isle; and here you can see the cocktail hour beginning. The chairs was facing South East, with a variety of lush trees behind the couple as they stood in front of their guests.

The Winthrop Estate sure is perfect for that special wedding!

Ceremony in the Dining Room

This couple decided to get married in the Dining Room, given the groom’s love for red and their small group of 18 people. . The reception was held in the Conservatory, followed by dancing in the music room.

On her way to say I Do

I found this photo from a while ago…

The bride and her parents are on their way, processing, to the ceremony on the lawn.
