There is something so elegant about a castle wedding that brings together old-world grandeur. This editorial at Oheka Castle, located on Long Island’s Gold Coast, was the perfect backdrop to capture this elegance and beauty. From sweeping staircases and manicured gardens to quiet golden-hour moments, this styled shoot served as inspiration to couples dreaming of a wedding that feels like stepping into a fairytale. Photographed by Tierra DiLibero, every detail, from sweet exchanges to sweeping views, reflected the castle’s beauty and the elegance of the design.
The Design
The setting alone tells the story. Oheka Castle, with its dramatic staircases, grand halls, and lush gardens, embodies everything we imagine when we think of a castle wedding. Its French château-inspired architecture and sprawling grounds created the perfect canvas for a celebration that feels both regal and intimate.
The design focused on soft, organic details that drew inspiration from the château’s rich history. Cascading neutral florals, golden accents, and delicate textures tied each element together, allowing the natural beauty of the castle to take center stage. It was the ultimate fusion of history and modern romance.
A Timeless Look
For brides drawn to a timeless aesthetic, this look features a Galia Lahav bridal gown, with dramatic off-the-shoulder sleeves, a fitted silhouette, and delicate button detailing down the back.
Paired with a cathedral-length veil, the look exuded a modern fairytale quality, ethereal yet sophisticated. Pearl drop earrings and a double-strand pearl choker elevated the ensemble with a nod to old-world glamour, perfectly suited for a château setting.
The Bridal Party
This bridal party was dressed to impress with nothing short of a show-stopping vision. The groomsmen were timeless in tailored tuxedos, while the bridesmaids stunned in metallic gowns ranging from silver sequins to flowing satin. Together, they created an effortlessly chic ensemble that mirrored the grandeur of the castle setting.
Golden Hour Portraits
Few backdrops rival the magic of a castle at sunset. With the château’s silhouette against the glowing sky, the editorial portraits showcased how a castle setting elevates every frame. With the fine art approach, these portraits were captured to balance of grandeur and intimacy of these moments.
It’s proof that a castle wedding offers more than a venue; it provides a backdrop for heirloom moments.
