Spring Floral Wedding at the K Club

It was a pleasure to work with Gather Events and a wonderful team of vendors on this spring wedding of Rachel and Joseph. Rachel and Joseph travelled from the US to celebrate with a 3-day event at some of Ireland’s finest venues in Kildare, with the wedding ceremony and reception taking place in the historic surrounds of the K Club Hotel. Enjoy a little snippet of their beautiful day, captured by talented photographer Colin Ross.

Luxury Irish Castle Wedding Inspiration

Luxury Irish Castle Wedding Inspiration

In the off-peak season it is always a delight to take part in some inspirational wedding editorial shoots, when teams of vendors can get together to be creative, network and generally also have some fun. When destination wedding videographer Emma K Films got in touch over the summer to ask if I would like to create a cake for a Luxury Irish Castle Wedding shoot at Luttrelstown Castle Resort in October, it was a definite yes from me.

Luxury Irish Castle Wedding Moodboard

Emma send a moodboard for the shoot, which spoke of neutral tones, modern elegant fashion and an overall romantic luxurious feel. A fabulous source of inspiration from which to create a wedding cake.

One of the features of the mood board that captured my imagination was the oversized sleeves on some of the inspirational bridal gowns. The dress chosen for the shoot from Love Ellie Bridal, had similarly modern voluminous sleeves, a current bridal trend which I adore, on a sleek columnar gown.

I chose to recreate this bridal style (somewhat in reverse!) in the cake, with a ‘puffy’ pearl-covered base tier and smooth top tiers. Simple white sugar roses, similar to those in the bridal bouquet, were the only other decoration.

The cake was beautifully captured by photographer Ivana Patarcic, not least in this stunning image of the bride holding the cake, one of my favourites from the shoot!

The Wedding Shoot

The overall style of the shoot was exquisite. Simply elegant stationery was by Ivory Feather Designs while modern flowers in shades of white were by Total Flower Designs. Table settings were coordinated by Infusion Weddings.

With such modern romantic beauty, it was no surprise that this editorial shoot was snapped up to be featured on prestigious blog, Wedding Chicks.

Wedding Inspiration – It’s All In The Details

The quiet months at the start of the year are always a time to not only plan for the year ahead, but also look to back on some of the highlights of the past year. And as I sit at my desk this January looking back on last year, there were indeed many highlights! One of which was being part of a fabulous team of wedding vendors working to make the vision of Aislinn and Tim a reality for their wedding celebrations. Today I am sharing some beautiful images of their day at Virginia Park Lodge, captured by Adam and Grace Photography. For this wedding inspiration, it’s definitely all in the details!

Wedding Inspiration – The Details

The elegance and style that ran throughout Aislinn and Tim’s day started with the timeless stationery by Lenka Calligraphy, which had beautiful detailing including wax seals and silk ribbon.

Guests were greeted at the church by oversized pots and urns of artfully natural flowers in shades of off-white with hints of soft autumn hues, created by the wonderfully talented The Rosehip and Berry.

The groom wore black tie and the bride wore a stunningly elegant dress, designed by herself and created by Emma Beaumont Atelier. Wedding Invitations

Wedding Inspiration – Reception Details

The function room at Virginia Park lodge was styled by House of Hannah Events, to create a warm romantic atmosphere on a cold November day. Soft green table linen was the backdrop for displays of florals and fruit by The Rosehip and Berry, on a tablescape that included gold cutlery and stationery by Lenka Calligraphy.  Twinkling lights and an abundance of taper candles in warm neutral tones created a warm and welcoming glow.

Wedding Inspiration – Cake Details

Aislinn was a delight to work with, having a clear vision for her wedding day and cake. Her dress had the most fabulous of oversized bows on the back of what was an exquisitely elegant gown. It was a natural choice for inspiration for the wedding cake – a simple white cake with silk ribbon by Betty Williamson. They choose delicious flavours of Chocolate Orange Hazelnut Rosemary, and Lemon Blueberry Coconut.

Key to the success of the cake design was of course the styling details. The couple chose to display the cake in the drinks reception area, a great idea to allow guests to see and take photographs of the cake. Three white plinths were used to display the cake, alongside flowers, an abundance of candles, and calligraphy cake flavour cards. Wedding dress with bowWedding cake with silk bosWhite wedding cake display Wedding cake flavour cards

Aislinn and Tim had a clear vision for creating a warm, romantic and elegant wedding day. Thank you so much for asking me to play a little part alongside an incredible team!

Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together as husband and wife.
