A Colourful Delight of a Wedding for Dorelis and James Tinakilly Country House.

For this month’s blog, we are heading back to the Summer of 25 and Tinakilly Country House with the bright & breezy wedding of Dorelis & James. Tinakilly offers couples a truly magical setting for their wedding day; a beautifully restored Victorian mansion is surrounded by acres of lush gardens and sweeping views of the Irish Sea, creating an atmosphere of timeless romance and elegance.

Renowned for its bespoke, tailor-made celebrations, Tinakilly combines historic charm with modern luxury, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully curated to reflect each couple’s vision. From intimate ceremonies in elegant suites to grand receptions in the breathtaking pavilion, the venue provides a versatile and unforgettable backdrop for any style of wedding. With exceptional service, award-winning hospitality, and a reputation for creating seamless, memorable experiences, Tinakilly is more than just a venue—it’s a place where dream weddings come to life.For the florals we went with a mixture of Roses, Hydrangeas, Astible and Lisianthus. We then added in pops of red roses to the bridesmaids bouquets to match their dresses. We also added the same to their floral archway for a more impactful visual effect.

Some close-up shots of the floral arragements within the church and something that just adds that little bit extra and serves as a great backdrop is a floral archway pictured below. Tinakilly has this on site and we decorate it with flowers of your choice. With floral archways, you can use them as a main feature during the your wedding ceremony; if you are having an outdoor celebration on the grounds of Tinakilly; you can also utilise it as the entrance piece to the main reception.And then some some additional imagery of the different table arrangements, the floral archway and their beautifeul wedding cake.

These stunning shots were taken by Andrei Zavalisca, founder of Vedendo Studio. He works with the motto that what he does is not just photographing, not just filming, but actually seeing the moments that matter. The quiet ones between the big ones. The look before the kiss. The laugh nobody planned. The tear that falls before anyone notices. His style is documentary at heart and editorial in eye; he likes to read your day as it unfolds, and frame it the way it deserves to be remembered.The bridal party dresses were from O’Briens Bridal; a family-owned bridal boutique in Rathnew, Co. Wicklow. O’Briens Bridal opened its doors in January 2014 and helps thousands of brides of all sizes and shapes from all four corners of the island of Ireland to find their dream wedding dresses.
