[field title=”The Inspiration”]
The inspiration for this editorial was drawn entirely from the venue itself—Gloster House in Ireland. With its romantic architecture, old-world charm, and beautifully preserved interiors, each room told a story through its color palette and textures. We let the venue guide the creative direction, building a visual narrative that highlighted the layered elegance of the space. From soft, painterly walls to ornate detailing, every corner of Gloster House served as a natural mood board for the editorial.

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Mustard, Plum, Lilac:
The color palette centered around rich, romantic tones of mustard, plum, and lilac. Each color was thoughtfully pulled from the rooms within Gloster House. The blue dining room inspired the addition of mustard as a bold pop of contrast, while the yellow room led us to incorporate plum to balance the warmth with depth. Lilac served as a soft, ethereal thread that tied everything together, adding a touch of femininity and cohesion across the design elements. Rather than competing with the venue’s existing colors, the palette was chosen to harmonize with and elevate each unique space.[/field]
[field title=”The Venue”]
Gloster House in Birr, Ireland. Gloster House, located in the Irish countryside, is a restored 18th-century estate that embodies timeless elegance. Surrounded by gardens, woodlands, and fountains, it offers a serene and romantic atmosphere that feels untouched by time. Its interiors are rich in detail, filled with original molding, expansive windows, and a soft, natural patina that adds depth to every image. The venue was more than a backdrop—it was the heartbeat of the editorial and an essential character in the story we aimed to tell.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]The gowns were chosen for their timeless elegance and how effortlessly they complemented the refined beauty of Gloster House. With flowing silhouettes, delicate fabrics, and soft, romantic details, the fashion felt like an organic extension of the venue’s old-world charm. Each look was carefully styled to echo the understated luxury of the setting, allowing the textures and tones of the space to shine alongside the bride’s graceful presence. Even without knowing the designer, the pieces spoke for themselves—elevated, classic, and beautifully in tune with the story we set out to tell.

[field title=”Wedding Party”]
The groom’s wardrobe added a memorable touch to the story. He wore a classic white blazer during the ceremony, which beautifully complemented the venue’s timeless elegance. For the reception, he switched to a rich velvet mustard blazer that provided a striking contrast against the deep blue tones of the reception room. This bold choice added warmth and personality to the look while perfectly tying into the editorial’s color palette.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The floral design was intentionally lavish and bold, created to make a statement within the historic setting of Gloster House. Rather than leaning into overly delicate arrangements, we embraced dramatic textures and rich color saturation to elevate the already elegant interiors. Mustard, plum, and lilac blooms were arranged in sculptural forms, echoing the grandeur of the venue while introducing a fresh, modern energy. The florals served as both art and ambiance—commanding attention without overpowering the space. Each installation was carefully placed to frame key moments, creating depth, drama, and a seamless blend of old-world beauty with contemporary styling.[/field]
[field title=”Favorite Design Element”]
One of the most striking design elements was the ceremony floral installation, where florals appeared to drip and dangle organically from the structure. It created a sense of movement and softness that felt both sculptural and romantic. The floating effect drew the eye upward while still framing the couple beautifully, making the ceremony space feel immersive and intimate. It was a true statement piece that brought the venue’s natural elegance to life in a fresh, unexpected way.

[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”]To achieve this timeless, romantic look, start by letting your venue inspire the design—draw colors, textures, and mood directly from the space for a cohesive feel. Don’t be afraid to embrace bold, unexpected pops of color like mustard and plum to add depth and interest without overwhelming the setting.
When it comes to florals, consider sculptural arrangements that play with movement and dimension to create visual impact. For fashion, choose gowns and accessories that are classic yet effortless, allowing the natural elegance of the venue and the couple’s personalities to shine through.
Lastly, prioritize details that feel personal and artisanal, like handcrafted cake elements or custom stationery, to elevate the overall experience and add a meaningful touch to your day.[/field]
[field title=”DIY Moments”]
One standout DIY detail was the cake, which featured handcrafted sugar florals made by the baker herself. Each flower was meticulously sculpted and painted to mimic the real blooms used throughout the editorial. The result was a showstopping, edible work of art that seamlessly tied the dessert design into the larger floral story. The attention to detail and craftsmanship added a personal, artisanal touch to the overall aesthetic.
