A Rustic and Stress-Free Barn Wedding: Theresa & Micheál

Boho styling and lots of LOLs!

The real wedding that we're sharing today is an absolute stunner, from the dreamy bridal style to the wow-factor reception space, but what really stands out for me about Theresa and Micheál's big day is how relaxed they look in every last photo! They planned their stylish celebration at Segrave Barns intent on keeping fuss and stress to a minimum, which they did by staying focussed on their priorities, and selecting suppliers whose taste they trusted implicitly. Among these suppliers was the team at Aspect Photography, who captured the big day in glorious detail. We hope you're ready to swoon!

Theresa tells us that she met Micheál when they were both studying in Maynooth University. "Our two groups of friends started to hang out, and we were just friends for the first year," she says. "The following year, Micheál decided to move into one of the spare rooms in our house, and I started to see him in a new light. One week, he asked me to go to the cinema with him and the rest is history!"

For his proposal, Micheál took Theresa on a break away between Christmas and New Year's Eve. "We went for a walk to the beacon in Baltimore on the way to our second Airbnb," she remembers. "It was just us there, and he got down on one knee. I didn’t believe him at first, so I was reluctant to say 'yes' but, when I saw the ring, I realised he was serious. I was in such shock that I had to sit down! He had booked us to stay in Inchydoney Island Resort for a few nights. It was all just so lovely."

This couple's top priorities for the big day were, "a relaxed venue, with good wine, nice food, and a really good band. We just wanted a stress-free affair and it was!"

Theresa tells us that they only viewed one venue before settling on Segrave Barns. "When we meet John and Eugene, we fell in love with them. They were so relaxed and put us at ease from day one. Then when we saw the venue, we knew it was for us. We loved everything about it."

Theresa describes the wedding as, "a big party. It was very relaxed, with all the people we love in attendance."

I love how comfortable and uninhibited the couple look in these beautiful portraits by Aspect Photography. Finding a photographer who can put you at ease is key!

Theresa's gorgeous bridal look was based around an embellished wedding dress with unique fringe detailing. It's these small details that really make your gown memorable!

Both Theresa and Micheál tell us that the attendance of their guests was the most important element of the day. "Just having everyone who means something to us in one place was just so special. We got married on a Tuesday and it meant so much to us that everyone put in such an effort to be there."

This pair are huge advocates of choosing your suppliers wisely and trusting them to get on with their part of the job! "The suppliers we used were all so lovely and so easy to deal with, we knew we had nothing to worry about," Theresa says.

We are huge fans of grazing tables at weddings, and this couple's was straight-up epic!

Theresa's advice to engaged couples is to do things your own way! "Only have things that you want, not because you think family members might want it or it’s a trend. And remember that everything falls into place on the day. I was hell bent on getting married outside, and it rained the whole day before and the morning of. It didn’t matter. We still had the best day and I wouldn’t change it now."

After the wedding, Theresa and Micheál went to London and then Italy for their honeymoon. "In London, we went to see Hamilton and to visit a couple of restaurants we were dying to try. Then we went to Tuscany, Almafi and Puglia for two weeks. It was all beautiful."

That's a wrap on Theresa and Micheál's big day. We have to say a huge thank you to the couple for sharing their gorgeous wedding with us, and to Aspect Photography for providing the beautiful imagery! There are more photographs in the gallery below, so be sure to click through for a look.
