A Romantic, Vintage-Inspired Wedding Celebration, With Cream, Gold And Autumn Foliage

“Our wedding at Belleek Castle in October was a romantic, vintage-inspired celebration, filled with character and charm. The theme embraced the castle’s history, with details like antique swords, candlelit tables, and nautical elements, perfectly complemented by earthy tones of cream, gold, and warm autumn foliage. My bouquet featured pampas grass, roses, and dried flowers, which added a boho touch to the day. The weather gifted us a bright and crisp autumn light, creating a magical backdrop for our photos.”

We told our suppliers that we were looking to achieve a whimsical, fairy-tale, ethereal wedding (and we think we did just that!)”
