Ireland Photo Shoot at Castle Leslie by KT Merry + Style Serendipity Part II

KT Merry is not only a long time friend of SMP, she is also the eye behind some of the most beautiful weddings we've ever featured. Like this one, and this one and oh, this one for sure. Well, when she came to us with her latest masterpiece, we could hardly believe how high that beauty bar had been set. Shot amidst the perfect canvas of Castle Leslie in Ireland, with a design by Style Serendipity and Best of Buds Flowers and Events, this shoot is all of our dreams realized. It's perfect. No other way to put it. And just when you thought it was almost too good to be true...well, we've got you covered. With a fashion and buying guide and oh, maybe a fun little giveaway. Coming up next.

From Ciara O'Halloran... When KT Merry got in touch to say she would be traveling to Ireland and would like to collaborate on a shoot, I jumped at the chance to get involved! Castle Leslie is a shining example of the stunning locations that Ireland has to offer, so I was so excited to push the styling boundaries, melding the grandeur of the castle with the timelessness of the landscape. We focused on a soft and muted palette, enhancing the lush green surroundings with accents of gold and blush tones. It was a wonderful experience getting to work together with KT and all the talented suppliers to inspire brides to embrace the elegance and sophistication of the look, no matter where they are in the world!
