We recently had the pleasure of styling a stunning civil ceremony photoshoot at the beautiful Grand Hotel in Malahide. With timeless ivory tones, fresh florals, and soft candlelight, the décor created a truly romantic atmosphere perfect for any wedding celebration.
From the moment guests entered the venue, every detail was designed to reflect romance and sophistication. We started by draping the entrance to the ballroom, creating a soft and elegant tunnel effect using flowing ivory fabric. This was enhanced with floral arrangements and soft candlelight placed along the staircase, instantly setting the tone for the day.
For the ceremony space, we dressed each chair in crisp white covers and tied them with elegant ivory sashes. Along the aisle, we placed low floral trays filled with white roses and hydrangeas, enhanced by the soft glow of candles.
At the top of the aisle, a white wooden arch became the centrepiece. It was beautifully filled with fresh flowers in soft ivory tones, creating a natural frame for the couple. Behind it, we installed an ivory draped backdrop to give the ceremony space a soft and luxurious finish.
To keep the décor flowing throughout the venue, we extended our styling into the main reception room. The grand entrance into the ballroom was fully draped in matching ivory fabric, tied back neatly to reveal the staircase. The stairs were decorated with flower arrangements and candles to welcome guests in a warm, elegant way.
Inside the ballroom, we added tall gold geometric stands topped with lush floral arrangements to tie in with the ceremony décor. At the base of each stand, we placed candlelight to add warmth and romance to the space.
Every detail was chosen to complement the soft ivory colour palette, creating a consistent look from entrance to ceremony to reception.
It was a pleasure to transform the Grand Hotel’s already beautiful space into a romantic, welcoming ceremony and reception experience. Whether it’s a wedding or styled shoot, our aim is always the same – to create a timeless and seamless look from start to finish.
If you’re planning your own civil ceremony or wedding reception at the Grand Hotel or any other Irish venue, we’d love to help bring your vision to life.
