Bohemian vibes at Tinakilly House.

By

As a pair of creative souls, Sarah and Wayne were destined to be together, just as their wedding was destined to be a huge celebration of that creativity, with every element from beginning to end, thoughtfully designed, handmade and beautiful. Their wedding in wedding at Tinakilly House is the epitome of what I would call elegant bohemianism. Captured by Weddings by Jason, it's full of beautiful details full of personality and meaning - from Sarah's handmade dress to the hand drawn illustrations on each table, we are utterly and totally in love...

Both natural creatives, Sarah and Wayne met at a house party and hit it off talking about their mutual love of music and art. Within three months they had tattoos of each other's initials and just like that they knew it would be forever. Sarah gushes... When we met I dreamed of being an artist and Wayne dreamed of being a musician, together we have seen those dreams come true. We’ve travelled the world, grown up together, bought and decorated our beautiful home and supported each other through thick and thin.

To propose Wayne get crafty and surprised Sarah at the Phoenix Park. Sarah fills us in... On Christmas Eve 2013 we were getting ready to go to my sister's house for lunch. Later we were having friends over, Wayne told me he was going to the shop to get some party food. A while after he left I got a text saying that a taxi would be at the house for me in an hour. The taxi arrived and I got in, I didn’t say anything and the taxi took off and drove to the Phoenix Park. I chatted to the taxi driver about his kids and Christmas, but he didn’t tell me where we were going or what was going to happen.

Sarah continues... We pulled into the carpark in Phoenix Park and Wayne was waiting there. He paid the taxi driver and then walked me over to a forest close by. He had built me a swing from the branch of a big tree. I’ve always loved swings since I was a little girl! He asked me to sit down and then he got on one knee, took out a vintage ring box with the perfect art deco ring I had always dreamed of and asked me to marry him. I bawled my eyes out, I didn’t even see the ring through the tears, I was so happy! We went for a quiet drink together before joining my family for celebrations.

The wedding was filled with emotional and sentimental touches, from the bespoke wedding rings designed by friend and jewellery designer Chupi, to Sarah's beautiful handmade dress made by her talented mum.

An artist by trade, it's no surprise that Sarah designed all of the wedding stationery and drew all of the illustrations on each table. So pretty and totally unique.

Sarah describes all the emotions on the day... Nothing can prepare you for how you’ll feel on your wedding day. I’m a big softie so I knew there would be tears, but didn’t expect everyone else to be crying too! It was such an emotional rollercoaster of a day. Our ceremony was the first humanist wedding in both our families and they all loved how personal and love filled it was. The speeches were so beautiful. We both (bride and groom) did speeches and had our close friends and parents speak about us. I was really glad I did a speech because so often the bride's voice isn’t heard. I enjoyed every minute of it!

For their first dance, Sarah and Wayne performed the dance scene from Saturday Night Fever to “More Than A Woman” by the Beegees. Much later a sing-song then broke out in the Tinakilly House resident's bar.

Congratulations to you both and thank you so much for sharing your wedding at Tinakilly with us all. A big thank you also goes to Jason McCarthy for sharing his work with us. To see more from Jason McCarthy visit www.weddingsbyjason.ie
