We are so excited to share some incredible details of Emma and Alex’s gorgeous wedding day, the ruby red and and roses them being just perfect to share with you just in time for Valentine’s Day! The theme was clear: “midsummer night’s dream meets red carpet,” and featured a heavy influence from floral, baroque, and whimsical details. The details were shared with Emma’s TikTok followers and for good reason: everything from the stunning dress, bridal party styles, flowers, and stationary were simply incredible. So much so, this wedding was featured in print over at Weddings & Honeymoons magazine. Flowers by the uber-talented Wild Bunch and photography by Story of Eve

The ceremony took place onsite at Ballyfin in the conservatory. The Wild Bunch literally draped the ruby red color palette from ceiling to floor, creating one of the most breathtaking floral installations we’ve ever seen. The clear glass of the conservatory allowed the guests to sit comfortably while still enjoying the countryside. The personalized ceremony concluded, and everyone enjoyed cocktail hour while Emma and Alex took some photos with their photographer. The reception then commenced where the garden theme continued. The unique stationary carried the theme of the day, and again the color palette looked stunning insdie the dining room.

A really incredible and unique detail for this wedding that we love is a spellcasting after dinner. Emma’s cousin led a love and marriage blessing spell outside in the garden, and they invited any guests who wanted to attend to join them. As the full moon rose above them, they lit candles and blessed the couple with good intentions and wishes for a long and happy life together.
