[field title=”Proposal Story”]

From Courtney, the bride: Ben and I met when we were in school, we’re childhood sweethearts, and have been together since we were 15. Ben proposed to me on our 10th anniversary. We rented a cottage in the countryside in Donegal to celebrate our anniversary, it was so intimate & romantic. The cottage was filled with fairy lights, which made the atmosphere so cozy. After a day spent together, Ben got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, We had plenty of champagne to celebrate!

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]

From Courtney, the bride: My gown was made by Maggie Sottero in the style Harlem. I bought it from a local Bridal Boutique called Eden Bridal. I had always pictured myself in a romantic style dress, I truly felt like a princess. It was the first dress I tried on in the boutique and instantly fell in love, it was everything I had wanted. I love the lace & boning detail in the top and my veil matched the lace details in the dress.

[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]

From Courtney, the bride: The bridesmaid dresses are from Wed2b. I wanted my 2 bridesmaids to feel as confident and as comfortable as possible in their dresses, so while they matched in colour, they had 2 different styles. I chose a deep burgundy colour for my dresses as we were having an autumnal wedding and wanted pops of colour. I also thought the colours would go well with our pink colours flowers we chose, we just wanted as much colour as possible on the day. Both dresses were flowy on the bottom, which meant they kept the ladies cool as we had a beautiful sunny day on our wedding.

[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]

From Courtney, the bride: No designer. The groom & groomsmen chose to have the full 3-piece suit, which included a waistcoat that had a pop of blue on the back that they matched with their blue shoes on the day. The groom chose a pink floral tie to match nicely with some of the colours in our flowers, and both groomsmen wore a dark blue tie with hints of burgundy, which meant this tied in nicely with their shoes and bridesmaid dresses. Ben wore cuff links that I had gifted him for the day, which had our initials and wedding date engraved onto them. Ben also wore his watch that I gifted him for his 18th birthday, he wanted to wear it as it’s something special & meaningful.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]

From Ginevra, the wedding planner: The menu was based on the simplicity of the Tuscan food with a refined touch. The tasty and inviting aperitif was served poolside, set against the breathtaking backdrop of a sunset over the valley. Dinner was a feast for the senses, featuring a pasta course, followed by exquisite ravioli pizzaiola, and crowned with a succulent Chianina beef drizzled with a rich Brunello di Montalcino sauce. Beer, Aperol & Limoncello Spritz were served from sunset till the end of the night party.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

From Ginevra, the wedding planner: The flowers used were gerberas, roses, lisianthus, berries, and alstroemeria. The compositions for the ceremony, held in the garden adjacent to the swimming pool, were based on two pedestals on which a pair of Medici-style vases had been placed, according to the bride and groom’s wishes. For dinner, an imperial table had been set up in the courtyard of the 13th century, reproducing the same palette of colours and floral typologies, and had been adorned with taupe candles alternating with elegant and delicate compositions.

[field title=”Wedding Cake”]From Ginevra, the wedding planner:
The wedding cake was an Italian style Millefoglie with chantilly cream and berries, topped with a superb abstract sculpture made of caramel. Italian tradition includes the live show assembly made by the bride & groom![/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

From Ginevra, the wedding planner: The ceremony was so emotional including the couple vows and a wine ritual. They exchange their vows surrounded by a modern revival of classic love songs played by the superb violinist Daniele Del Lungo, creating the perfect romantic atmosphere.

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

From Courtney, the bride: My grandmother bought me my necklace and earrings I wore on the day. Unfortunately, she couldn’t fly out with us all for the wedding, so she wanted to give me special pieces of jewellery for the day, so that I had a special part of her with me. I went for drop pearl earrings and a delicate pearl necklace in white gold. I also wore a fine silver bracelet, which matched the one that my mum wore on the day.
