Step into a world where romantic wildness meets modern elegance at “The Belfry,” a stunning styled shoot by Lena Freitag Weddings. Nestled in the heart of Ireland, Ballyseede Castle in Kerry provides the perfect backdrop for this spring wedding inspiration, blending luxurious elegance with extraordinary design. This concept redefines the idea of a castle wedding, bringing together bespoke details, individual style, and exclusive touches that create a truly unforgettable experience.
The Venue: The Ballyseede Castle
The Belfry at Ballyseede Castle is a newly opened ceremony venue that exudes charm and sophistication, making it an ideal setting for a spring wedding infused with luxurious elegance. The striking copper-colored wall and tall windows provide a breathtaking backdrop for the ceremony, where a color palette of soft pinks, light rosé tones, nude, and white, accented with golden details, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, offering the perfect setting for the romantic ceremony led by Celebrancy by Rebecca. This elegant color scheme continues seamlessly into the dinner setup, with the copper tone further influencing the décor.
For the dinner, the tables are elegantly adorned with lush floral arrangements that mirror the tones of the ceremony, ensuring a cohesive and harmonious design throughout the event. Gold accents add a touch of opulence, while the soft, ambient lighting enhances the romantic atmosphere. The combination of these elements creates a dining experience that is as extraordinary and bespoke as the ceremony itself, perfect for couples seeking a truly luxurious and individual wedding celebration in Ireland.
Floral Design: Wild Romance Meets Modern Luxury
The floral arrangements are the heart of this styled shoot. Yesca’s Flowers expertly combines lush arrangements with the natural beauty of the venue, creating an atmosphere that is both romantic and sophisticated. From impressive arrangements at the entrance that warmly welcome the guests, to opulent floral displays on the dining tables that create a romantic ambiance, everything reflects the colors and style of the venue, seamlessly blending nature and luxury.
Stationery and Cake: Touches of Natural Elegance and Opulence
The stationery, designed by Nicnillas Ink, features laid papers adorned with illustrated floral prints and delicate ribbon details. This subtle yet impactful design element reinforces the theme’s natural elegance, while adding a personal and bespoke touch to the celebration.
The wedding cake, crafted by MsCupcakeCork, is a true masterpiece. With its modern look and delicate gold accents, the cake adds an extra contemporary touch to the festivities, perfectly complementing the luxurious elegance of the overall concept.
The Bridal Look: Sophisticated and Stylish
The bridal fashion in this styled shoot embodies a perfect blend of sophistication and style, and shows the modern bride how to perfectly incorporate different wedding dresses throughout the day. The breathtaking gowns were generously provided by The White Ivy Bridal Boutique in Kenmare, adding an extra layer of elegance to the shoot. Two stunning fitted gowns by Rosa Clará were featured: one with detachable long sleeves and a richly embroidered train, and the other with a sleek, streamlined silhouette that is perfect for a contemporary bridal look.
A true showstopper was the a-line by Anna Sposa, adorned with 3D floral applications that reflected the lavish florals central to the theme. Each bridal look was completed with Bella Belle shoes and exquisite jewelry and hair accessories by Lena Rom, perfectly complementing the luxurious elegance of the setting.
The bridal styling was brought to life by the talented team of Tricia O’Sullivan Hair and Beauty and Grace Sheedy via The Beauty Atelier, who crafted flawless hair and makeup that seamlessly matched the sophisticated fashion. Their expert touch ensured that every detail was in harmony with the overall vision of refined elegance.
The Groom’s Attire: Classic Elegance
For the groom, Lettenbauer Mode provided a classic and elegant tuxedo that perfectly complemented the bride’s sophisticated style. The combination of timeless tailoring and refined details created a look of romance and refinement, making the couple’s ensemble truly extraordinary.
Capturing the Magic: Photography and Videography
Wonder and Magic, the talented photography team, beautifully captures the essence of the styled shoot. Their ability to blend natural light with the venue’s sophisticated ambiance results in images that are both captivating and timeless. Love it Visuals, along with video assistant Anne S. Photography, bring the concept to life through cinematic videography, ensuring that every moment of this extraordinary day is preserved in stunning detail.
Adding an extra layer of storytelling, The Wedding Content Company was on hand to capture behind-the-scenes material, a growing trend in luxury weddings. Including a content creator in your wedding team allows for a more personal and dynamic record of the day, providing couples with unique, real-time content that can be shared with friends and family across social media. This approach not only complements the professional photography and videography but also adds a contemporary and interactive element to the wedding experience.
