When I look back through Korryn and Brandon’s Drumore Estate wedding gallery, it’s hard to know what to highlight first. The combination of warm bohemian floral arrangements, a chic champagne tower, and a gorgeous summer wedding color palette gave this whole day the most whimsical, ethereal feeling.
This Lancaster County celebration was the warm embrace of a summer day, with the soft breeze of fall keeping us comfortable. Let’s dive into every perfect detail!
An Outdoor Summer Wedding Ceremony in PA
First, let me set the scene. It’s early August at Drumore Estate, an outdoor wedding venue in Lancaster, PA, known for its stunning sunsets and timeless architecture. The first thing you see is a palette of pink, green, yellow, and cream against a lush outdoor landscape. 130 guests are seated in a formal garden overlooking the Susquehanna River valley just as the afternoon sun starts to glow.

Getting Ready Suite at Drumore Estate
When I arrive at the mansion to capture detail photos, the wedding party is wrapping up hair, makeup, and final touches. Korryn is just about to slip into her cap-sleeved Levi gown by Madi Lane. The energy in the room is calm, but excitement builds with every passing minute.
Once Korryn steps out in her dress, it’s as if reality hits home all at once. Today is the day!
The bridal suite inside Drumore Estate’s historic 1930’s mansion leads out to a gorgeous wrought iron balcony overlooking the most lush greenery on the property. I captured so many sun dappled portraits in this whimsical little corner of the venue, it was hard to choose favorites! I have so many fond memories from this day, but the getting ready photos of Korryn and her mom and first look with dad have to be at the top of the list.
A Summer Wedding Color Palette in Full Bloom
When couples ask what summer wedding color palette ideas actually look like in practice, Korryn and Brandon’s August celebration at Drumore Estate is the answer. A palette of soft pinks, garden greens, warm yellows, and cream moved through every element of the day.
This soft summer palette is proof that color done thoughtfully never competes — it completes. The Freckled Flower built wildflower-inspired arrangements that pulled pinks, yellows, greens, and creams into something effortless against the estate’s stone and natural landscape. I love how each arrangement looks like it could have been freshly cut from a field of wildflowers that very morning.
