Martha’s Vineyard has long been a dream destination for couples looking for timeless romance. For those who want a late summer wedding filled with historic charm, Captain Flanders House in Chilmark offers the perfect setting. A recent editorial at Captain Flanders House shows just how magical this historic venue can be for a wedding weekend filled with color, history, and natural beauty.
Captain Flanders House sits in the quiet town of Chilmark. Built in the late 1700s by whaling Captain Richard Flanders, the renovated farmhouse carries deep history. Inside, antiques and country details add warmth and character. Outside, the grounds feel expansive and serene. A the property the horses run alongside cobblestone fences. Summer hydrangeas spill over tables and bloom across the property. Everywhere you look, the setting whispers romance.
The day’s design paired island textures with elevated, luxury details. The hydrangeas flowing across the reception tables. And climbing over the ceremony arch. The farmhouse becomes a beautiful backdrop. Guests could easily imagine themselves arriving to celebrate a wedding here—welcomed by lush gardens, historic charm, and the Vineyard’s peaceful energy. From start to finish, this venue makes space for connection, beauty, and joy.
Details elevated the scene. A gown by @enauranewyork and heels by @jimmychoo set the tone for high fashion moments. Linens from @stradleydavidson, rentals from @tiltonrentals, and floral artistry from @floralsbyheritage layered the reception with color and texture. Even the vow books, cake, and welcome gifts carried thoughtful touches. Each piece showed couples how an island wedding can blend intimacy with sophistication.
Late summer on Martha’s Vineyard feels alive with possibility. Moreover, weddings at Captain Flanders House bring couples into a setting filled with blooming hydrangeas, historic character, and a landscape that feels equally quiet and grand. This editorial proves why Martha’s Vineyard remains a dream destination for weddings that feel unforgettable.
While in the midst of a hurricane off the east coast, we still made the most of the day. Despite the rain, the inside of the house provides character to the event.
