Hi, I'm LINDSEY.

If a fall wedding had a main character moment, it would be Allison and Dave’s late October celebration at the stunning Radnor Valley Country Club. Nestled on Sproul Road in Villanova, PA, this venue delivered peak autumn aesthetic—golden leaves, crisp air, and the perfect setting for a love story full of warmth and joy. If you’re on the quest for fall inspired wedding photos (or just a PA wedding venue that checks all the boxes), grab a cup of cider and let’s dive into the details of their beautiful day.

Radnor Valley Country Club: A Venue Steeped in Elegance and History

Founded in 1952, Radnor Valley Country Club isn’t just a gorgeous wedding venue—it’s a piece of history. Located on 555 Sproul Road, Villanova, PA, this exclusive club boasts an enchanting estate with sprawling grounds, picturesque gardens, and an elegant ballroom perfect for celebrating a lifelong adventure together. The Radnor Valley Country Club golf course also provides a scenic backdrop for wedding portraits, with its rolling greens framed by fiery autumn foliage. In short, if you’re dreaming of an elegant fall wedding, this venue delivers.

Sage Green Wedding Color Palette

While Allie and Dave’s wedding was undeniably fall-inspired, the bridesmaids rocked sage green dresses from Azazie, adding a fresh, unexpected contrast to the autumnal vibes. It all worked together beautifully.

The Getting Ready Process

Allie chose to get ready at her childhood home, surrounded by the people who mean the most to her. There’s something undeniably special about stepping into your wedding dress in the same house where you played dress-up as a kid—only this time, the gown is from Claire’s Fashions, and there’s a real life Prince Charming waiting at the altar!

With a half-up hairdo styled to perfection by @hair.by.shannonsteppat and makeup flawlessly done by @makeupbyleahh__, Allie looked absolutely radiant as she prepared for the big day.

Traditional Ceremony at St. Thomas The Apostle Church

Allie and Dave exchanged vows in a beautiful Catholic wedding ceremony at St. Thomas The Apostle Church. The church’s grand architecture and intimate ambiance provided the perfect setting for their heartfelt “I dos.” Surrounded by family and friends, they embraced the sacred traditions of their faith before heading to Radnor Valley Country Club for their reception.

A Legendary Family Photo Victory

Photographing large family groups can sometimes feel like herding cats—except this time, I actually nailed it. Dave’s family had tried (and failed) at many previous weddings to get a solid group shot, but I made it happen. Mission accomplished!

Country Club Ballroom Reception Inspo

The Radnor Valley Country Club ballroom transformed into a cozy, candlelit wonderland for the reception. With DJ Charismatic Ken keeping the dance floor packed, guests celebrated late into the night. The evening wrapped up with an absolutely stunning cake from The Master’s Baker (a favorite vendor of mine!), which was as delicious as it was beautiful. The fall inspired wedding floral arrangements by Bonnie’s Wonder Gardens added warm, rich hues that complemented the natural beauty of the venue.

A Surprise Bouquet Toss That Stole the Show

One of the most aww-inducing moments of the night? Allie’s surprise for her mom. During the bouquet toss, she revealed that the bouquet she was handing off was an exact replica of her mom’s wedding bouquet. It was a touching moment that left not a dry eye in the room.
