Real Bride - Emily & Eoin

What is your most special memory from the day?

I have never been so happy and smiled so much on one day! It was so special to share it with friends & family, and seeing everyone on the dance floor having a ball!

Tell us about your proposal!

Two years last Christmas Eve Eoin took me to the marina near his home in Ireland, in the freezing cold for a ‘walk’. I had absolutely no idea what was going on until he plucked up the courage to pop down on one knee with a ring which fitted perfectly!

Describe your bridal style. How did you want to look on your wedding day? Tell us about your dress shopping experience.

I really wasn’t sure what style of dress I was after but knew it would be elegant and quite a classic look. The Ivory Room was the first and last bridal shop I went in and had the best experience finding my perfect dress. Victoria was extremely helpful and was a lovely, friendly and honest person to help me find my dress which we all knew was ‘the one’.

In your own words, tell us more about your wedding. What was your theme and colors? How did you make your wedding personal to your love story?

We got married in Eoin’s local church in Ireland, with the local pub opposite to dive in for a quick celebratory drink before heading to our reception a few miles away. Our venue was a wedding village with a private marina containing idyllic Irish country cottages as the accommodation with a permanent marque, it was perfect for us as we had the venue to ourselves for the weekend and it gave us the relaxed, family feel we wanted.
