For this month’s blog, we will be shining a spotlight on the recent wedding of Liz and Paul that took place in January of this year in beautiful Brooklodge, Macreddin Village in County Wicklow. A day filled with so much love and laughter and of course the two cutest guests….their beloved dog babies.
Back at one of my favourite wedding venues and why I love Brooklodge so much is the magic of having the flexibility to have either an outdoor ceremony right next to the Ballycrean Brook, or an indoor ceremony within the Macreddin Chapel; which welcomes people of all faiths or none to make their vows in a beautifully simple surrounding. Obviously choices will vary and most will be determined by the weather; this is Ireland after all, no forecasted weather is ever guaranteed.
As it was early January, Liz and Paul opted for an indoor ceremony with lots of special personal touches. We created these mini confetti cones for the guests to use proceeding the ceremony. We also used a collection of gorgeous candles designed & produced by the Danish company; Ester and Erik, they are definitely a supplier I would recommend considering for your day.
For Liz & Paul’s floral arrangements; we chose a combination of roses, lisianthus, glorious, phalaenopsis orchids, hydrangeas, ranunculus and astilbe.
Brooklodge caters for weddings of all sizes. They have their main dining area, Brook Hall for those with a larger guestlist, however if you are having a smaller more intimate gathering, the reception can be held in their stunning Strawberry Tree Restaurant. Sitting around The Big Table is a lovely and unique experience for everyone. I just love the bold & bright colour mix of the flowers against the rich backdrop of The Strawberry Room.
Once again we utilised Ester and Erik candles for the table centrepieces surrounded by all the roses, lisianthus, glorious, phalaenopsis orchids, hydrangeas, ranunculus and astilbe.
Photography on the day was courtesy of Annie Kheffache; a master of documentary style photography. Her approach is all about being present in the moment – no need for picture-perfect poses, just pure, heartfelt memories.
Make-up pampering was courtesy of Making Faces Studio based in Gorey whilst hair was styled by Cara Cameron.
A truly gorgeous wedding for a beautiful couple; beyond grateful to have played a small part in their day.
Cheers to Liz & Paul xx
