Creating French Romance in an Irish Country House

Palace of Versailles meets Gloster House

We've got some real eye candy on the blog today, with a beautiful wedding inspiration shoot that's all about romance and refinement. Captured by White Cat Studio, with styling and creative direction by Petal & Twine, this shoot takes its inspiration from Parisian glamour and French chateau wedding style, to create something that feels more Palace of Versailles than a country house in Offaly. The spectacular Gloster House creates the perfect backdrop for a shoot that proves you don't have to go far to find sophistication and luxury, right here in Ireland.

The team wanted to add a little je ne sais quoi to the theme of their shoot, “The powerful beauty of French romance and extravagant image of an angelic Parisian bride were the two main driving forces behind this shoot.

The shoot really showcases Gloster House, a new exclusive hire wedding venue in the midlands. A 300-year-old privately-owned house that’s something of a hidden gem, it makes for an elegant and romantic backdrop, don’t you think?

Stylists, Petal & Twine decided to transform Gloster House into a chateau style wedding venue, in the Irish countryside, “By exposing as many interior features and using as many elegant decor and fashion elements throughout the entire photo shoot. A colour pallet of soft blush pinks and ivory was hand-picked for each design and styling composition incorporating floral decor.”

The gold flecks through the cake and on the truffles gives it a luxe touch.

The stylists used a little smoke and mirrors to give the shoot some added magic, “The highlight of the photo shoot was a wow factor combination of dry ice smoke effect mystically floating over and around the dessert table. It was not only absolutely magical to watch, but it was also one of the trend-setting choices.”
