Your new bridal collection is inspired by Kate Middleton&#8217;s look. How did you try to encapsulate her persona? What aspects of her look were you inspired by? <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Kate embodies the characteristics of understated beauty and simplicity that reflect her persona as a modern &#8220;girl next door&#8221;. I am constantly inspired by her way of embracing elegance in a &#8220;less is more&#8221; attitude, which is a truly unique method of sophistication.<\/p>\n<p><em> 2. When it comes to bridal pieces, most women want a simple and elegant look. What are the best ways to achieve this? <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Simple elegance is achieved through the careful selection of quality pieces. Again, the &#8220;less is more&#8221; method comes into play when you are creating this elegant look; these pieces should be comprised of the classic elements that we all attribute to beautiful brides. One can never go wrong with a pair of pearl drop earrings, \u20ac125, an exquisite crystal tear drop pendant, \u20ac135 or a simply beautiful bracelet, \u20ac240. The new bridal jewellery 2014 collection is a really wonderful compilation of these types of pieces.<\/p>\n<p><em> 3. What vintage era have your pieces been most inspired by?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This collection is undoubtedly inspired by the 1920&#8217;s era, when femininity was being discovered in a new and exciting way. Finally, the beautiful necklines and shoulders of women of that era were revealed through the sometimes controversial fashions of the time. This allowed for a movement in jewellery design that continues to inspire my pieces today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gallery overflow\"><div class=\"grid\"><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-2\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-2\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"Paul Costelloe Launches Stunning Bridal Collection for 2014\" title=\"Paul Costelloe Launches Stunning Bridal Collection for 2014\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/FIZ-e6OsFFRCpx4VS-vxLzN1La-4BqH6WbfqgG7AfG4.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/FIZ-e6OsFFRCpx4VS-vxLzN1La-4BqH6WbfqgG7AfG4-315x315.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-2\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-2\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"jtX5_Hq4bOpZsbfaF7u2SkfDt_FjNK3ObcJQEV4cPps,WRnuTcNHZb0a1zkygNi05ySuwGNpuxUfWLAF6Jgt2o8\" title=\"jtX5_Hq4bOpZsbfaF7u2SkfDt_FjNK3ObcJQEV4cPps,WRnuTcNHZb0a1zkygNi05ySuwGNpuxUfWLAF6Jgt2o8\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/jtX5_Hq4bOpZsbfaF7u2SkfDt_FjNK3ObcJQEV4cPpsWRnuTcNHZb0a1zkygNi05ySuwGNpuxUfWLAF6Jgt2o8.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/jtX5_Hq4bOpZsbfaF7u2SkfDt_FjNK3ObcJQEV4cPpsWRnuTcNHZb0a1zkygNi05ySuwGNpuxUfWLAF6Jgt2o8-315x315.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-1\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-1\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"WJ8gt6w9dvQxBlzuAOjh_xHFWL9Ozx3DErsONUnN7v0\" title=\"WJ8gt6w9dvQxBlzuAOjh_xHFWL9Ozx3DErsONUnN7v0\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/WJ8gt6w9dvQxBlzuAOjh_xHFWL9Ozx3DErsONUnN7v0.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/WJ8gt6w9dvQxBlzuAOjh_xHFWL9Ozx3DErsONUnN7v0.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-2\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-2\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"Paul Costelloe Launches Stunning Bridal Collection for 2014\" title=\"Paul Costelloe Launches Stunning Bridal Collection for 2014\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/fAJ9zYaZ3YWCKgUQRR_Pj8VuBuTRz8AppInLfxz9bjg.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/fAJ9zYaZ3YWCKgUQRR_Pj8VuBuTRz8AppInLfxz9bjg.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-2\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-2\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"cG0hSCQZRUre5HR5DqfWYOxc4GnSCEKBgcB_PR7DBEc\" title=\"cG0hSCQZRUre5HR5DqfWYOxc4GnSCEKBgcB_PR7DBEc\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/cG0hSCQZRUre5HR5DqfWYOxc4GnSCEKBgcB_PR7DBEc.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/cG0hSCQZRUre5HR5DqfWYOxc4GnSCEKBgcB_PR7DBEc.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-1\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-1\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"ozN-36IB_TscGmjHS_z_HiihXiPd_z2oSc96ZrUbnuk\" title=\"ozN-36IB_TscGmjHS_z_HiihXiPd_z2oSc96ZrUbnuk\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ozN-36IB_TscGmjHS_z_HiihXiPd_z2oSc96ZrUbnuk.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ozN-36IB_TscGmjHS_z_HiihXiPd_z2oSc96ZrUbnuk.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-2\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-2\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"FIZ-e6OsFFRCpx4VS-vxLzN1La-4BqH6WbfqgG7AfG4\" title=\"FIZ-e6OsFFRCpx4VS-vxLzN1La-4BqH6WbfqgG7AfG4\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/FIZ-e6OsFFRCpx4VS-vxLzN1La-4BqH6WbfqgG7AfG41.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/FIZ-e6OsFFRCpx4VS-vxLzN1La-4BqH6WbfqgG7AfG41.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-2\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-2\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"xnvICnVVjNMNfa6AOJGFhvfo6xwFXMN8oOSgcE2FMs8\" title=\"xnvICnVVjNMNfa6AOJGFhvfo6xwFXMN8oOSgcE2FMs8\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/xnvICnVVjNMNfa6AOJGFhvfo6xwFXMN8oOSgcE2FMs8.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/xnvICnVVjNMNfa6AOJGFhvfo6xwFXMN8oOSgcE2FMs8.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spring has sprung (almost!) and with that comes a new collection from one of our favourite designers, Paul Costelloe.
