ANASTASIA & LAURA

“Love & Gatherings had to deal with two brides at our wedding and they made what some consider to be a daunting and stressful day into the most joyous weekend we have ever had. Kate realised what was important to us and made it happen.”

Two Vivacious Brides & almost as Vibrant a Wedding Palette

Disco-tastic Nuptials in a very Sunny Wicklow

From the moment I first spoke with Anastasia and Laura, I knew their wedding was going to be right up our alley. They wanted a day that felt like an extension of who they are together – relaxed, joyful and a little bit wild around the edges, with their favourite people at the heart of it all. My role was to shape all of that energy and intention into a celebration that felt effortless, but was meticulously considered behind the scenes.

We leaned into the incredible Wicklow landscape, allowing the hills and changing Irish light to frame the day. The design direction was laidback but elevated: long, laughter-filled tables, unstructured florals and a palette that felt both earthy and vibrant. Every detail, from the ceremony setting to the late-night dance floor, was crafted to feel welcoming and inclusive – a place where their guests could truly let go.

On the day itself, the atmosphere was exactly what we had hoped for: full of movement, colour and so much laughter. Anastasia and Laura moved through it all completely at ease, present with each other and with their guests, while our team quietly kept the cogs turning in the background. As the sun dipped over the hills and the music spilled out into the night air, it felt less like a formal wedding and more like the best party you’ve ever been to – with a love story at its centre.
Their wedding will always stand out to me as a reminder of what happens when you trust the process, lean into the setting and prioritise joy above perfection. It was, in every sense, the funnest wedding ever in the Wicklow hills.
