Embracing Earthy Tones and the Natural Aesthetic of Ireland at Castle Leslie Estate

The primary inspiration for this shoot was the natural ambiance of the location, nestled amidst the stunning lush landscapes of Ireland with the breathtaking Castle Leslie as our backdrop. The overall design and concept focused on a blend of timeless elegance with modern sophistication while complimenting the rich character of the location. This enchanting affair featured a magnificent horse, high fashion, and a rich earthy color palette that brought warmth and vibrancy to the fairytale setting, harmonizing with the surrounding natural aesthetic of the Irish countryside.

Castle Leslie sits on 1,000 acres of undulating Irish countryside, dotted with ancient woodland and glittering lakes. It is one of the last great Irish Castle estates still in the hands of its founding family since the 1660s. It's stunning stone façade and sprawling grounds, exuded an air of regality and charm. Its towering turrets and ivy-covered walls created a magical atmosphere, setting the scene for a truly unforgettable day.

The Bride wore a stunning statement gown by Mara Marie Bridal for the ceremony look and later changed into a more sleek modern reception look by Alon Livne.

Frog Prince Floral Design created the most stunning floral arch adorning the entry of the castle for the ceremony, where a beautiful white horse was featured in the exit of the couple after their nuptials. Following the ceremony, the dinner reception was set amidst the stone arches of the castle with a sprawling tablescape of lush florals. The rich earthy color palette continued to weave its magic, creating an intimate and romantic ambiance.

This stylish wedding editorial featured the perfect blend of old-world Irish charm with the contemporary flair of high fashion and over-the-top florals. Against the backdrop of Ireland's lush landscapes, this fairytale wedding showcased the magic that is created when history & romance come together in perfect harmony, while complemented by the surrounding location.
