down the back as well as the oyster colour.” John chose a bespoke three-piece suit in a breathable, light grey wool blend that would allow him to stay comfortable. The couple colour matched the suit and trousers combo for the groomsmen, who didn’t wear waistcoats, but accessorised with the same dark green ties. The bridesmaids wore dark green floor-length gowns with a V-neck and slight sparkle in the fabric. The junior bridesmaids’ dresses were white at the top with dark green skirts. TIME TO CELEBRATE A string quartet entertained guests during cocktail hour, and for the evening the couple opted to keep things simple with a DJ and dancefloor. MEMORABLE MOMENTS “Rain had been forecast for the day, so when we stepped out of the church, the ground was soaked but the sun was shining,” Niamh remembers. “There had been thunder and lightning during the service, but we hadn’t even noticed! The rest of the day was gorgeous and sunny.” The newlyweds were thrilled with the work their suppliers put into bringing their vision to life. “They were all incredible,” Niamh tells us. “Our cake designer worked closely with our florist to get the flowers right and it was gorgeous. Our florist did an amazing job and came back the next day to break the centrepieces down into bouquets for guests to take home. Our photographer, Jaine, was wonderful, all the way from our engagement shoot to helping us get comfortable in front of the camera and more, she made everything feel effortless.” 14
