Our founder, Michelle, has dedicated over 14 years of her life to the wedding industry. As a luxury wedding photographer, a passion for beauty, light, and form has been at the centre of her journey. Now, this journey is culminating in the creation of A Stór. Meaning 'treasure' or 'love' in Irish, A Stór is a place to celebrate art and love.
Michelle’s designs and exclusive collections reflect her continued passion for beauty. These are not mere accessories. They are treasured keepsakes, statement pieces to celebrate your journey. These collections help you to mark your most treasured moments.
"Knowing that your piece has been crafted by an extremely talented artist who took the time and care to create something special is magical to me."
Thanks to her mother, a talented dressmaker, Michelle grew up surrounded by creativity and artistry. She spent countless evenings mesmerized by her mother's skill at the sewing machine. Simple fabric transforming into stunning garments before her eyes, like magic. This gave her a deep appreciation for meticulous craftsmanship and design.
"I love that she made her own wedding dress. That's just so special to me when I look at her wedding photos."
These cherished creations, made by her mother, were often borrowed by family and friends. As a result, their special occasions now carry an added layer of meaning and memory, making them priceless heirlooms for all the family. In much the same way, each piece in the A Stór collection is designed to become part of your own cherished moment, adding that touch of magic to your occasion. These are designs destined to become heirlooms, passed down through generations.
Michelle's inspirations are deeply personal, drawn from her life's journey and Irish mythology. The strength and grace of the goddesses of Ireland are a core influence on her work. For years Michelle developed a personal photography project depicting these powerful female figures. She loved their embodiment of divine femininity and strength. This admiration for the female spirit lives on now in A Stór. A Stór's goal is to empower women, making them feel confident and strong while celebrating their innate femininity. The bridal robe collection at A Stór is a testament to this. These designs are inspired by the mythical era. They use delicate fabrics to accentuate the feminine silhouette, helping every bride to feel like a goddess on her special day.
Love is the beating heart of A Stór – a love for art, a love for creating meaningful pieces, and a celebration of love stories in all their forms. From childhood friendships to family bonds, and the journey of finding your own true love, A Stór honors all the love stories that define our lives.
A Stór is not just a brand. It is a heartfelt celebration of love and life's treasured moments. Each piece tells a story. Each piece captures the essence of your most precious memories and turns them into timeless treasures.
A Stór....it's a Love Story.
