A majestic Irish castle wedding with death metal & sword-bearing protectors

A majestic Irish castle wedding with death metal & sword-bearing protectors

We both love castles and Irish history, and Craig wanted to have a death metal band play, so we found somewhere where that was possible, and arranged everything around that. We didn’t have a specific theme, but the castle definitely inspired some elements of our wedding. We decided to include our two swords in the day as there is a Viking tradition to exchange swords at your wedding as a promise to protect each other.

It’s September which means that it’s totally Halloween season! You might think it’s too early, but this Ireland goth wedding inspiration says otherwise. We’re totally prepared to bask in the skull decor, deep red drinks, gold on black stationery, anatomical hearts, and an eerily gorgeous cake. Don’t miss these two gorgeous people sporting blue hair, stunning makeup, a black corset, and a silver brocade coat.

An intimate cocktail bar and a nearby forest served as the backdrops for this shoot and it’s getting us in that spooky mood we love…

Deirdre and Dylan planned the goth wedding of their dreams at Blackwater Castle in Castletownroche, Cork, Ireland. They started with a gorgeous church ceremony, then some creepy-chic portraits in the cemetery, and finally into the seriously majestic castle for dinner and celebration.

When choosing the wedding destination, we thought of all the incredible places we’d visited and that we wanted to share with our friends and family. Doolin, Ireland easily stood out. We could have easily hosted a beautiful beach wedding in California (where I am from) or a mountain wedding in Colorado (where the groom is from), but we wanted to do something different that was unique to our relationship. We had been together over seven years and wanted something that reflected us.
