The incredible conservatory at Kilshane House in Tipperary, Ireland - with its impressive glass structure and tall lush greens - was stylist Fiona Morey's (of Eve and Ever After) main inspiration for this shoot. It felt like the perfect location for layers of ethereal fabric draped from overhead and a thoughtful and rich curation of textured and natural elements mixed with monochrome touches. This shoot was a beautiful fusion of old and new brought together, lovingly and cohesively, by Fiona with the assistance of the wonderful Jill Hughes from Planned by a Pro .

Magic seems real at this lakeside Glendalough, Ireland wedding shoot
The looks consisted of a combination of modern, stylish, and eye-catching designs by Made with Love Bridal, Katya Katya London, and Caroline Takvorian from Galway-based boutique, Vintage Pearl Bridal. Each look was paired with unique and bold accessories, such as an ostrich feather headpiece and a netted bow that was created specifically for the shoot by bridal accessories designer Caragh Quinn of Aura Bridalwear.
Hair styles included sleek ponytails, bridal buns, and a wavy half up do by the incredible Bridal Hair by Marie. A bronzed, dewy complexion with a subtle cat eye, fluffy brows, and a pinky nude and warmer coral lip was created by Sarah Dineen of Beauty Atelier. Each look was accessorized with gorgeous earrings from Maison Sabben and Irish-made jewellery studio, One Dame Lane.
Photographer Amy, also known as Rubistyle\, is known for ‘making weddings look like French movies,’ and she certainly did that here! The ruffled veil by Katya London provided some truly magical and breathtaking moments, and Amy had so much fun capturing incredible motion images of model Simona Va in "Hendrix" by Made with Love Bridal draped in this swoon-worthy statement piece. Later in the shoot, the ostrich head piece by Aura Bridalwear was the perfect bold accessory for the full lace Sonata gown from Katya London with its gorgeous square neckline and figure-hugging style.
French designer Caroline Takvorian’s dresses from her brand new 2023 collection were an exclusive for this shoot and were flown over especially for the day. The puffy sleeves, sensual necklines, and romantic beaded lace of this designer’s two piece and dress brought all the French chic to the shoot.
The flowers were inspired by the season, so that meant lots of gorgeous, autumnal tones. The incredible Tina McGrath (from The Wild Bunch) created a stunning, unstructured garland made up of cappuccino roses, sprayed gypsophila, and eucalyptus, along with some creamy white and speckled blush and burgundy carnations. The bouquet was a beautiful mix of fresh and dried flowers for added texture, tied with a dark brown velvet ribbon. For the outdoor shots, Tina created a gorgeous floral structure made up of fluffy fresh and dried florals in a similar style and palette to the table garland.
The dining table was styled with flowing linens, ceramic plates and luxe glassware. French style patio chairs complemented the other black and white details, and layers of delicate tulle hung over the tablescape. There were limestone table numbers with white hand lettering and vellum menus with modern black script. A garland of fluffy florals in creamy whites with muted pink, nude, cream, brown and burgundy tones trailed across the center of the table –a gorgeous mix of fresh and dried for added texture. There were also hand-lettered taper candles with love quotes for that personal touch, mixed with pillars to create a warm and romantic ambience.
A gorgeous trio of cakes (in different styles and heights) were created by the amazing Sigita Germanaviciute of Fern Cakery. Sigita’s signature style is these beautiful rough edges, and we just adore those abstract details and narrow, minimalist tiers adorned with carnations and sprayed gyps.
To compliment the overall tablescape design and aesthetic with more rich earthy tones, Freckles & Fern created this gorgeous russet shade with a memorable Atticus love quote: ‘Don’t promise to live forever, promise to forever live while you’re alive.’ They also created these lovely, modern vellum menus with a modern black script to tie in the other monochrome elements. Eleanor Curtin Calligraphy and Design created this hand lettered limestone ‘Bubbly Bar’ sign for the cocktail cart and table numbers, as well as the gorgeous tapered candles with the quote ‘Ever Mine, Ever Thine, Ever Ours’ in calligraphy on them for the tablescape.
The bali-esque bar is a recent addition to Kilshane House, so it was hard to resist a few fun shots of model Simona in front of it, wearing Ryder from Made with Love Bridal. The bar was styled with a limestone ‘Bubbly Bar’ sign by Eleanor Curtin Calligraphy and Design and a beautiful, bold arrangement by Tina from The Wild Bunch, which was made up of rust-sprayed gyps and cappuccino roses.
