The Art of More: An Extraordinary Wedding at Adare Manor
An exploration of individuality, imagination and the art of creating an experience.
For me, the most exciting part of designing a celebration is getting to know the people at the heart of it.
Every couple has their own story, their own personalities and their own ideas of what makes a celebration special. My job is to listen, understand what matters to them and then take that vision somewhere they might never have imagined.
For Stephanie and David's wedding at Adare Manor, we created a wonderfully immersive setting, full of colour, character and extraordinary detail. An experience that went far beyond simply decorating a room.
A Vision Entirely Their Own
I’ve never believed in a one-size-fits-all approach to design. What feels extraordinary to one couple might be completely different for another, and that's exactly what makes this work so interesting.
It's about understanding their tastes, the atmosphere they want to create and how they want their guests to feel. From there, I consider the architecture, the proportions of the space and how every element can work together to bring their celebration to life.
At Adare Manor, towering trees rose between the dining tables, flowers cascaded amongst the chandeliers and an extraordinary table created entirely from flowers became a statement piece in its own right.
Everywhere you looked, there was something new to discover.
The Art Behind the Experience
There is an enormous amount of thought, planning and craftsmanship behind creating something on this scale.
From the grandest installations to the smallest details around the tables, everything needs to feel connected. And making that happen takes the skill, precision and dedication of Team Bone, who bring these ambitious designs to life.
It's that combination of understanding the client, creative vision and exceptional execution that makes every celebration we design entirely individual.
The Art of More
I've never believed in doing things by halves, but more is more should never mean more for the sake of it.
For me, true luxury is about creating something that feels completely personal. Not a design that could belong to anyone, but an experience that reflects the people we're celebrating.
Something that couldn't simply be lifted from one wedding and recreated at another.
And that's what I love most about what we do. Taking the time to understand someone's vision, then creating something beyond what they ever imagined possible.
