Today, we're bringing you an inspirational wedding shoot that will make your heart smile for so many reasons - it's tropical and fruitilicious, with a dash of modern disco and a whole lot of pride. The shoot took place in the gorgeous surrounds of The Abbey, a brand new exclusive-use wedding venue in Co. Kildare that blends old-world charm with a modern, contemporary twist. Photographer Katie Kav and Laura of Wild Feather Event Styling wanted to create an editorial that was fun, modern and bold with pops of colour, using fruit, flowers and disco balls to elevate the period style of the venue, and the results will open up your mind to the possibilities of big, bold and imaginative styling for your own day.
To bring an extra layer of sweetness to this already delicious line up of images, our incredible models Aisling and Grainne are, in fact, a real-life couple. That pure spark of love and fun between these two jumps off the page, and best of all the creative team worked closely with both of them to create a look that felt natural to their own personalities. We think you'll agree the results are sublime.
Laura's inspiration was colour, and lots of it, but also to interpret a more modern concept for florals. Something unexpected, and a little bit outside the box, that would work for any season and any setting.
Every element in this shoot is a celebration of texture! From the feathery florals, and painterly swipes on the wedding cake to the tassels and linens on the tablescape. The styling riffed on texture too, from the feather and applique embellishment on Grainne's Charlie Brear bridal jumpsuit, to Grainne's short and sweet dress by Sophie et Voilà in textured silk. Its statement train and elegantly puffed sleeves are a total showstopper, and we adore her natural curls, styled perfectly with an oversized hair bow.
Lots of touches and layers were added to the tables and set ups such as disco balls and freshly cut and dried fruit. This shoot was really also to inspire the use of colour and the idea that anything is possible in terms of a wedding design - so dream big and beautiful.
Thank you so much to Katie Kav and Wild Feather Event Styling who created this visual feast for the eyes. And of course to models and real-life couple Aisling and Grainne, who radiate love in every photo.
