On one of the hottest weekends Ireland has seen in years, Sarah and Stephen celebrated their wedding at the stunning Powerscourt Hotel. The sun was shining, the sky was clear, and the entire day felt like something out of a fairytale.
We were absolutely thrilled to be part of their special celebration.
From the very beginning, we knew this wedding was going to be special. Sarah was an absolute joy to work with—warm, thoughtful, and full of great ideas. In particular, she had a clear vision for her wedding style: soft pastel tones with gentle hints of lilac and lavender to create a romantic and elegant atmosphere.
This dreamy palette worked beautifully against the backdrop of the lush venue and golden summer sunlight.
Sarah and Stephen chose to have their civil ceremony outdoors, on the elegant terrace at Powerscourt Hotel. This area, framed by manicured hedging and timeless stone architecture, created a breathtaking and peaceful setting for their vows.
To bring their vision to life, we styled the ceremony space as follows:
A beautiful flower arch welcomed guests at the aisle entrance, featuring pastel blooms in blush, lilac, ivory, and lavender.
The aisle was lined with floral pew ends and a soft flower garland, leading to a second arch placed at the altar.
We dressed the bride and groom chairs with matching florals and delicate ribbons to complete the romantic look.
As a result, the whole scene felt calm, elegant, and unforgettable.
At Wow Weddings, we design every setup with style—and sustainability—in mind. One of our goals is to repurpose ceremony décor whenever possible, helping couples get the most from each detail throughout their big day.
After the ceremony, we reused several key items to transform the reception space:
We moved the flower garland to the top table, instantly adding colour and texture.
The main flower arch became a picture-perfect backdrop behind the cake table.
On the guest tables, we used geo stands topped with floral balls from the ceremony, tying the entire design together beautifully.
In the end, this thoughtful reuse created a seamless, cohesive look from day to night.
The weather on July 12th, 2025 brought a rare Irish heatwave. While a few guests left with some unexpected sun-kissed cheeks, the warmth added something truly special to the day. Everyone smiled a little brighter, and laughter carried through the air.
Combined with the couple’s laid-back charm and the venue’s stunning backdrop, the summer sun made the celebration feel extra joyful.
Sarah and Stephen were such a pleasure to work with. Their kindness, trust, and genuine love for each other made the whole process feel effortless. We’re always honoured to play a role in a couple’s big day—but this one was especially joyful.
To Sarah and Stephen—thank you for choosing Wow Weddings to help bring your dream day to life. We wish you a lifetime filled with sunshine, laughter, and unforgettable moments. 💜
Let’s work together to create something truly magical.
