Irish Castle Winter Wedding - from Kentucky to Kildare

A castle, a ballgown, a first look, sunshine and an awesome couple. I don’t think my job gets any better, although we all could have done without the epic wind but that’s Ireland in December for you, sure it added to the drama! Kaity & Jamey’s Irish Castle wedding dream came true on December 8th 2021 as they tied the knot in gorgeous Kilkea Castle, Kidare, Ireland. Kaity was a hero and battled through the wind, standing on wobbly rocks, sticks attaching to her dress and nearly being blown off the turret.. was grand though, she knew exactly what images she wanted and we go them!

Frog Prince floral and styling was out of this world, beautiful white rose displays and blush table setting, the warm glow of the candles really made it so romantic.

Kaity said:

“When James proposed on Christmas morning, we knew we had to find a venue that would capture the magic of that moment. Ireland represents a spirit of hospitality that is found nowhere is else the world. Kilkea Castle and our incredible team gave us all the magic that we could have dreamt of for our day.”

Judy Wong Make up artist:

“Kaity's IRISH FAIRY TALE LOOK,
Was inspired by her irish heritage and her natural complexion was creamy and moonlit. Something that made Kaity's look so special to her was how her eyes popped with a soft colour palette of soft peaches and delicate warm browns. Her lips were a deep burgandy red, enhancing her skin and the tonal tones of winter berries.
WINTER SKIN TIPS:
The trick is to keep hydrating you skin to stay plump. I used The Ordinary HAYLURONIC ACID SERUM which hold 10 times the moisiture on your skin and locks it in:) €12.99 A bargain and a must”

Lorraine Browne hair:

“Kaity’s hair was a timeless classic upstyle with lots of softness and texture.
I met Kaity a few months before the wedding date and we tried a few different looks to consider.
The day before the wedding we met in the beautiful Kilkea spa area and finalised the finished look.
Kaity was such a beautiful bride.”
