Joanie & Connor: Luxury and Romance at Luttrellstown Castle

Joanie and Connor’s wedding was the epitome of refined romance—an exquisite celebration set within the storied walls of Luttrellstown Castle. Captured with timeless artistry by Colin Ross, every detail of the day unfolded like a symphony of elegance, balance, and bespoke beauty.

From the beginning, Joanie described their vision as “quiet luxury backed against nature with an organic feel”—a sentiment that guided every design choice and guest touchpoint. 

And overseeing it all come together at the breathtaking Luttrellstown Castle was pure joy.

The floral design by Flowers by Kim Marie embodied this beautifully: a curated blend of garden and botanical styles in a soft, sophisticated palette of lilac, rose quartz, sage, and ivory. 

The ceremony, held in the castle’s Gothic Hall, was deeply personal—officiated by a close friend of the bride and surrounded by their most cherished guests. The space was transformed into a sanctuary of love, layered with florals and candlelight that honored the grandeur of the venue while remaining intimate and heartfelt.

For the reception, Joanie envisioned a tablescape that was both romantic and regal. Low floral arrangements mingled with gilded candelabras, casting a warm glow over custom menus by Lavender Press that felt like art pieces in their own right. Gold accents were woven throughout the design, elevating the Van Stry room with a subtle opulence that felt entirely bespoke.

Joanie and Connor, it was a true privilege to bring your celebration and vision to life. Your wedding was a masterclass in timeless luxury filled with heart, intent and thoughtful details.
