Irish country houses and castles each have their own magic, a sense of history and untold stories that you just don't find in other venues. Today's "All Things Wild & Golden" shoot by Ciara Jones and Claire Hannah Perez of Fable Heart takes inspiration from that magic and creates a fairytale wedding with lashings of gold, glitter and even some extra special flower girl crowns...
Â
Photographer Ciara Jones tells us a little bit about the inspiration behind today's fairytale shoot..."Our inspiration for All Things Wild & Golden really began with the venue choice. One of Northern Ireland’s hidden gems, the stunning Tempo Manor houses both awe inspiring Gothic architecture and the most beautiful decaying buildings that look frozen in time. We wanted to capture the feeling that this is the last place on earth where there is magic, and elevate the bride to an ethereal height which is just as a bride should feel."
Â
Ciara continues..."The imperfect beauty of the setting allowed the dresses and accessories to really stand out. Whilst the floral design including more foraged materials like moss and vines, works wonderfully with the natural surroundings; just adding that extra touch of magic. The regal presence of the crowns for both bride and flower girl is a dramatic addition that helps transport us to another world. A colour palette of golds & whites, with a touch of deep red, sits perfectly against the old outbuildings and peeling plaster. A beautiful queen, lost in a tale of old."
Filled with a sense of magic and whimsy these wedding ideas would be perfect for any style of romantic wedding, in particular an elegant country house or castle celebration, or moody winter bash.
Avoiding making things too serious a sense of playfulness is added with the adorable flowergirl's sequin cape and crown - both by stylist Fable Heart.
Lastly to complete the cohesive look a selection of sweet treats were prepared - sticking to the same crisp white and gold palette.
A big thank you to all involved for sharing this little bit of magic with us today - in particular stylist Claire Hannah Perez of Fable Heart and photographer Ciara Jones. To see more from Ciara Jones Photography visit www.ciarajones.com
