September 7, 2024

Have you ever been in a moment so incerdibly beautiful, that you were certain it was a dream? That’s how this editorial wedding felt. Nestled in the heart of England’s picturesque Cotswolds, the editorial wedding of Moira and Tighe unfolded like a dream. From the luxurious fashion to the enchanting lakeside ceremony, every detail of their day was a testament to elegance and romance. This celebration was not just an event but a magical experience, beautifully orchestrated by AMV Weddings and captured on Film and Digital.


An Evening Welcome Party to Remember

As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the Cotswolds, Moira and Tighe hosted a delightful evening welcome party. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, the couple enjoyed a relaxed yet elegant evening filled with laughter, heartfelt conversations, and fine wine. The atmosphere was intimate and joyous, a perfect prelude to the festivities that lay ahead.





The evening’s table scape was a feast for the eyes, featuring an array of stunning florals from Flourish & Grace. The table was artfully arranged with cascading arrangements of peonies, garden roses, and dahlias, creating a vibrant and inviting setting. The sunset provided a breathtaking backdrop, enhancing the beauty of the scene and adding a magical touch to the evening.

The combination of exquisite florals, the warm glow of the setting sun, and the presence of loved ones made this welcome party an unforgettable experience. It was a moment for Moira and Tighe to savor the beginning of their new journey together while surrounded by those they cherish most.




A Fashion Fairytale

Moira’s bridal gown was a vision of opulence and sophistication. Designed by the renowned Berta, the ceremony dress was a lavish creation that left everyone in awe. The gown, with its intricate lace detailing and flowing silhouette, was the epitome of bridal elegance. The delicate veil, also from Eden Luxe Bridal, cascaded gracefully, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to Moira’s ensemble. The lacework of the gown, adorned with exquisite embroidery, highlighted the craftsmanship and luxury that Berta is celebrated for. Complementing the gown were Loeffler Randall shoes, which perfectly balanced style and comfort, while the Botias Accessories earrings added a hint of sparkle, accentuating Moira’s radiant look.






For Tighe, Brigdens tailored a suit that harmonized with the grandeur of the occasion. The suit’s classic yet refined design was the perfect counterpart to Moira’s stunning gown, ensuring the couple looked impeccable together.



A Lakeside Ceremony Straight Out of a Romance Movie

The ceremony took place at the idyllic Euridge Manor, where the lush countryside setting provided a serene backdrop. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the lakeside ceremony, where Moira and Tighe exchanged vows in a boat on a charming little lake. Their romantic boat ride across the water felt like a scene from a classic romance film, embodying the essence of a fairytale. I kept thinking of the little mermaid. He even looked like Prince Eric!





The entire ceremony space was transformed into a breathtaking garden of enchantment by the talented team at Flourish & Grace. The floral arrangements were nothing short of spectacular, with a lavish mix of greenery, peonies, garden roses, lilacs, and dahlias. The flowers were meticulously arranged to create a lush, garden-like atmosphere, enveloping the space in a sense of wonder and romance.



Opulent Floral Arrangements

The florals played a pivotal role in crafting the magical ambiance of Moira and Tighe’s wedding. Flourish & Grace adorned the ceremony space with an extravagant display of blooms that created a whimsical garden. The floral installations were so abundant that they seemed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, making the entire ceremony feel like a scene from an enchanted garden.



Jewelry, Shoes, and Replicating the Look

Moira’s look was further elevated by her choice of accessories. The Botias Accessories earrings provided a touch of timeless elegance, perfectly complementing the intricate details of her gown. For a look that exudes similar sophistication, consider opting for delicately crafted jewelry that enhances rather than overshadows the gown.

Her Loeffler Randall shoes were a blend of style and comfort, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other. To replicate this look, choose shoes that not only match your dress but also offer comfort for a day full of festivities.






A Reception Dinner Straight Out of a Fairytale

As the evening transitioned into the reception, guests were transported into a world that felt both whimsical and magical. The reception dinner was a scene straight from a storybook, blending elegance with a touch of enchantment that made everyone feel like they had wandered into a fantastical realm.




The dining area was meticulously curated with furniture rentals from Allens Catering Hire, setting a sophisticated yet inviting tone. The tabletop rentals by The Bailey Events Tableware and the linens from Nuage Designs added layers of luxury and texture, making each table a visual delight. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged to create a dining experience that felt both extraordinary and intimate.



The pièce de résistance was the cake from Erzulie Cakes, which looked as though it belonged in a fantasy tale. Surrounded by lush floral arrangements from Flourish & Grace, the cake stood as a centerpiece that seemed to have been plucked straight from a magical mansion. With its intricate design and delicate decorations, it was a sweet ending to a night filled with wonder and delight.



THE FASHION OF THE RECEPTION DINNER

Moira wore a perfectly gorgeous gown by House of Savin, which draped around her and fell down the back with a full line of buttons. The Neckline was fully custom made with Inlaid white flowers that gave Moira the look of a princess arriving at a midnight ball where she meets the prince! Prince Tighe even!




The reception space, with its blend of whimsical and magical elements, provided a setting where guests could immerse themselves in the charm of the evening. The attention to detail, from the elegant furnishings to the enchanting cake, ensured that Moira and Tighe’s celebration was truly unforgettable.
