Spring, a season of renewal, is the perfect backdrop for a wedding filled with fresh blooms and romantic charm. Recently, Ballyseede Castle’s newly opened ‘Church Style’ ceremony space, The Belfry, played host to a stunning styled shoot that highlighted the beauty of timeless design, modern elegance, and the natural elements of spring.

The shoot featured lush florals, soft hues, and captivating details that seamlessly integrated with the venue’s historic charm and natural surroundings, making it the ultimate inspiration for couples planning a spring wedding.

Setting the Scene: The Belfry at Ballyseede Castle

Ballyseede Castle is renowned for its rich history and elegance, and The Belfry, with its striking copper-toned walls and large windows, provides a blend of old-world grandeur and contemporary sophistication. Inspired by the castle’s original features, from its beautiful gardens to its historical architecture, every element of the shoot was designed to reflect both nature and elegance.

The concept effortlessly brought together fresh spring elements with a luxurious atmosphere, creating a setting that captured the essence of the season.

Floral Arrangements: A Nod to Spring's Natural Beauty

The heart of the design was the floral arrangements, carefully curated to evoke the freshness and vibrancy of spring. Planted-style arrangements, a popular trend, featured prominently, with blooms set in moss, echoing the natural elegance of the outdoors. Soft shades of dusty pink, nudes, and whites were used throughout the bouquet, floral arches, and table centrepieces, ensuring a cohesive look from the ceremony to the reception.

Twining floral arches greeted guests at the ceremony entrance, while the romantic planted-style table arrangements mirrored the same organic, nature-inspired design. The florals added a timeless touch of luxury to the day, ensuring that every detail felt connected and harmonious.

Elegant Bridal Style to Match the Setting

The bridal fashion complemented the theme beautifully. The Rosa Clará fit-and-flare gown, with its detachable sleeves and embroidered train, paired perfectly with the floral designs, while the Anna Sposa ballgown’s 3D floral appliqués brought the essence of spring blooms to life.

Beauty professionals, Tricia O'Sullivan Hair and Beauty and Grace Sheedy of The Beauty Atelier, styled the bride with a sleek hairstyle and a birdcage veil, adding a modern twist to the timeless bridal look. Each element of the bride’s style was meticulously chosen to enhance the romantic, fresh feel of the day.

A Reception Full of Thoughtful Details

At the reception, the planted-style floral centrepieces took centre stage. The arrangements, filled with spring blooms, were complemented by brass candle holders, ivory taper candles, and elegant silk napkins. The soft textures and natural feel of the florals created an intimate and romantic dining atmosphere, perfectly suited to the castle setting.

The pink shard cake, crafted by MsCupcakeCork, added a modern touch to the timeless décor, its bold design offering a beautiful contrast to the delicate floral elements.

Rain or Shine, a Spring Wedding to Remember

True to Irish spring weather, a light rain fell during the shoot, only adding to the enchanting atmosphere of the day. No matter the weather, the right floral styling ensures that a spring wedding feels magical, with every element working together to create a cohesive and memorable experience.
