Pastel florals for an elegant wedding
Helena and Brandon’s wedding was a truly elegant celebration, with a heartfelt ceremony at the Church of the Assumption in Dalkey followed by a stunning reception at Tinakilly House in Wicklow. As an American couple choosing Ireland for their special day, they came with a clear vision from the outset, making the floral planning process both seamless and enjoyable.
Their floral vision centred on soft pastels, with gentle pops of pinks, lilacs, peaches, and pale blues, balanced beautifully with ivories and soft sage greens. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to complement the venue. At Tinakilly, the Spanish tables were styled with creamy beige cheesecloth runners, low floral arrangements, pillar candles, and tea lights — creating a warm, romantic atmosphere that was especially magical as evening fell.
From the bridal bouquet and bridesmaids’ flowers to the ceremony, drinks reception, and reception tables, each arrangement flowed effortlessly into the next, creating a cohesive floral story throughout the day. Ceremony flowers were carefully repurposed for the reception and even reused the following day at the pub, ensuring every bloom was enjoyed to the fullest.
Using roses, spray roses, snapdragons, lisianthus, peonies, and delphiniums, the florals felt natural and romantic, perfectly complementing the couple’s pastel colour palette. The result was a timeless celebration filled with soft colour, candlelight, and elegant floral details — a beautiful reflection of Helena and Brandon’s vision for their special day.
After the wedding, Helena kindly provided a review: “Where to begin, we were recommended Zemyna at Floriology Studio for our wedding in June 2025. And from the very start until the very end they delivered beyond our expectations! Zemyna was an absolute pleasure to work with – she went above and beyond in every single way.
As an American couple getting married in Ireland we had to do a lot of communication over email or Whatsapp and Zemyna was extremely responsive. She is very organised and it put is at so much ease as we were very particular in our vision, and she made sure it came to life and then some. There was no request or detail that was too much. She was willing to hop on a call whenever we needed her.
She is extremely talented and we feel so lucky to have been a small part of the very fruitful journey she has ahead of her! We couldn’t recommend her and her team enough! Thank you for all you did!”
