Spring Symphony in Ireland
An unforgettable bridal editorial shoot took place in a picturesque setting, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. On the grounds of Castle Leslie Estate in Glaslough, Ireland, a scene unfolded that combined timeless elegance and modern magic, organized by AMV Retreats and AMV Weddings.
The bride with special grace wore two breathtaking dresses, each a work of art in its own right. Enchantingly and sensually captured by Amber & Muse photographer Philibert Barelli.
The first dress, a masterpiece by Monique Lhuillier, seemed to have sprung from a heavenly vision. Decorated with meticulously designed floral details and delicate butterflies, it embodied an aesthetic of timeless sophistication. The artistically embroidered or appliquéd floral motifs merged into a harmonious symphony that reflected the beauty of nature. But the real highlight was the delicate butterflies, which gave the dress a playful and enchanting touch.
The second dress, an enchanting work by Ersa Atelier, was a tribute to the art of couture. The long silhouette and the elaborately embroidered corsage radiated a timeless elegance that captivated onlookers. Designed by the talented Romanian sisters Cristina and Gabriela Antonescu, this dress was a testament to their commitment to bespoke design.
But it wasn’t just the dresses, but also the details and decorations that contributed to the magic of this shoot. The bridal bouquet, with the enchanting name “Spring Symphony” by Frog Prince Weddings, brought the magic of spring to this special day. Inspired by the bright colors and delicate blooms of the season, it was a celebration of love and natural beauty.
The floral bridal earrings by Lena Rom were a work of craftsmanship. Handmade from clay flowers, Czech glass beads and Japanese seed beads, they embodied timeless elegance and romantic charm.
Andria Barbone ‘s rings seamlessly combined timeless elegance with modern design and perfectly matched the dresses selected for this editorial shoot. They were another element that emphasized the timeless beauty of this day.
The overall concept of the shoot was a tribute to the timeless charm of a historic castle in the middle of the Irish countryside. The combination of ancient architecture and modern romance created a captivating story that celebrated Ireland’s rich, cultural diversity. The lush landscapes and nods to traditional Irish motifs enhanced the visual narrative as history, romance and contemporary design collide.
