My inspiration was from the 70's. Simple classic style gowns and a usual mix of retro style colours. Wanting it to be colourful, lots of colours were injected into this shoot.

The shoot took place at Ballintubbert House nestled in the Irish countryside with its 16th century church, orchard and unique circular marquee tent. Erm, could that be any more magical? (There is also a Yurt village. So yes, it could be, and is). But the magic of this shoot didn't stop with the location. The interior styling of the marquee with candle light, colourful florals and hanging flower cloud can only accurately be described as 'wow'. And don't get us started on the embroidered sides of the tent. We've never seen it before, but we hope this is the beginning of something new...
From the vintage details in the marquee tent to the Juliet cap veil that is giving us renaissance vibes, the old meets the new effortlessly. There was a modern twist on the classic styling with the recycled jewellery and bold wedding cake. A warmth flowed from the burnt orange glassware to the dusty pink candles. Oh, and just wait until you see that last wedding dress. Did someone say fringing was back? Thank god. We've been waiting for that since... a while, okay. Basically, if there was ever a sign you needed an evening wedding dress to dance the night away, it's probably this!
Another factor I wanted to consider is sustainability, an increasingly popular demand for couples as we move forward to being more eco-eco-concious. We had edible fruits for favour and Recycled jewellery from well known brand CHUPI.
