Beneath the dappled light of Bunnyconnellen’s olive grove, this ceremony setup feels like stepping into a Tuscan daydream. A simple timber arbour, draped with flowing white fabric, frames the Bride in the most enchanting way—its clean lines softened by abundant florals at the base in peach, blush, and ivory tones. The Bride, radiant in a gown with voluminous sleeves and a cascading skirt, holds a bouquet bursting with texture and romance, echoing the soft hues of the arrangements at her feet, planned, styled and coordinated by Wild Heart Weddings.

It’s the perfect balance of elegance and nature: the raw beauty of the olive trees standing tall and timeless, paired with styling that whispers modern romance. This setting captures everything couples love about an outdoor wedding—serenity, intimacy, and the effortless charm of celebrating love beneath open skies.

Also nestled beneath the canopy of Bunnyconnellen’s olive grove, the reception table is the definition of elegant country romance. A long linen-draped table stretches between the trees, framed by natural light and the soft green of the surrounding landscape.

Florals by Belle Bouquets spill effortlessly across the setting—textured arrangements in peach, blush, and ivory tones with pops of golden yellow and soft greenery, creating a look that is both abundant and refined. Sculptural branches add height and drama, while delicate blooms at ground level anchor the scene in nature’s embrace.

Each place setting is styled with modern simplicity—crisp white napkins, crystal glassware, and understated elegance—allowing the floral artistry to take centre stage. Timber chairs add warmth and a relaxed, inviting feel, perfectly tying the look to its rustic surrounds.

It’s the kind of alfresco dining that invites guests to linger long into the night—sharing stories, clinking glasses, and celebrating love under the stars, framed in all its romance by Amy Philp Photography.

To Amy, photography helps us to pause on a moment, to remember a personality, a connection… the special milestones and the unique way in which life unfolds for each of us. ‘Photography is the feeling we fail to put into words’ – "A saying I read once, that has always stayed with me. It’s exactly how it feels for me." Amy tells.

- "I cannot recommend Amy enough to photograph your special moments in life! She captures the true beauty and essence of the moment, she is so fun and vibrant and will get that perfect shot. She has a natural talent and you will be over the moon when you see your photos!" {Ami Irving}
