\"Tullyveery<\/p>\n

Oh how I love a wedding which represents a couples’ personality and today’s real wedding<\/a> does just that. Simon and Bethany were hitched in the summer months and following their church ceremony held their reception at Tullyveery House<\/a> in Ireland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They envisioned a handmade, vintage-inspired day that was personalised and fun. They had their loved ones contributing too, which I always love to see. Simon is a doctor and Bethany is a nurse, so they incorporated some quirky medical inspired decor, do look out for the cute centrepieces. There were some seriously gorgeous outfits, blooming beautiful florals and a lot of love all round.<\/p>\n

Adam and Grace<\/a>, thank you so much for sharing these divine images of a really happy celebration indeed.<\/p>\n

Tullyveery House Wedding<\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Simon took me out for Sunday dinner to the Slieve Donard Hotel on the 2nd\u00a0September 2018. He had told me he liked me 5 years previous in Newcastle car park but didn\u2019t think I\u2019d find this a romantic proposal spot. Afterwards, we went for a walk over the Murlough sand dunes. After a very specific path suggested by a usually relaxed Simon, I started to get suspicious. After the last climb, I found a collection of photographs\u00a0and\u00a0candles displayed with a hand-painted wood slice saying, \u201cWill you marry me?\u201d This ended up as an inspiration for our church d\u00e9cor when we got stuck into wedding planning.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

Our aim was to have a day that was fun\u00a0and\u00a0reflected our personalities. As Simon is a doctor\u00a0and\u00a0I\u2019m a nurse, we thought it would be fun to have a vintage medical theme running through the day, as we both like things that are a little bit quirky.<\/p>\n

The Planning Process<\/h3>\n

We started planning soon after we got engaged \u2013 we both enjoy art and making things so we knew we wanted to do as much ourselves as we could. It was a lot of fun brainstorming ideas, making Pinterest boards and seeing them come to life. With both of us working full-time jobs and shift work, we felt like every spare moment we had was filled with wedding planning, but we had a lot of fun in the process.<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

We tried to involve our family\u00a0and\u00a0friends as much as possible\u00a0and\u00a0by doing all the decorations ourselves, we were able to save a bit\u00a0and\u00a0ended up with plenty of souvenirs from the day.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

We secretly went venue hunting before we got engaged as we knew it was coming soon enough. Tullyveery House, Killyleagh was only the second we saw but we fell in love with it from the beginning. We wanted somewhere out of the way where we could share the day with just our guests. The idyllic scenery overlooking the Mourne Mountains with sheep in the fields looked just like home. This quirky venue was just us.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits & Accessories<\/h3>\n

My mum initially had to talk me out of making my own wedding dress, so she was set on taking me shopping. I had seen a dress I liked a few months before getting engaged and thought there would be plenty similar to that style but after trying on about 60 options, I finally went back to Perfect Day where I had originally seen it. After trying it on, I knew it was the one! I liked the thought of adding beads to the back which I made myself, adding my own touch to my outfit.<\/p>\n

Simon\u2019s suit was from Statement Menswear, Portadown. After I tried to convince him to have a full burgundy suit, we had to agree on a mix of navy\u00a0and\u00a0tan, which suited our vintage look well.<\/p>\n

The Readings & Music<\/h3>\n

Our service took place in Bethany\u2019s church, Kilkeel Baptist Tabernacle. As a Christian couple, it was important to both of us that our day was Christ-centered. My pastor did the vows and Simon\u2019s minister conducted the sermon. We chose our favourite hymns and bible verses. Friends and family did readings, played instruments and sang while we signed our register. Our service was a very special part of our day.<\/p>\n

The Flowers<\/h3>\n

Our florist was a close family friend, Elizabeth Bell from Annalong \u2013 now retired as a florist and only does friends and family weddings. We were so pleased with our beautiful flowers, which perfectly complimented our vintage theme and style.<\/p>\n

The Cake<\/h3>\n

Hollie Berrie Cakes, Scarva. Our brief for Hollie was to go wild and do what she liked. We gave her our colour scheme and she worked her magic creating 3 incredible cakes, which looked and tasted amazing.<\/p>\n

Your Photographer<\/h3>\n

Simon was in charge of choosing photographers\u00a0and\u00a0had always loved\u00a0Adam\u00a0and\u00a0Grace\u2019s work. After talking me into doing an engagement shoot, they made it so casual\u00a0and\u00a0not stressful at all. They were great on the day\u00a0and\u00a0you don\u2019t realise how many photos they\u2019re taking because they\u2019re so calm\u00a0and\u00a0professional about it all.<\/p>\n

The Details & D\u00e9cor<\/h3>\n

We had so much fun doing all the details. Simon drew all the elements to create our order of the day board and painted the photo board. I sewed all the bunting, made the favours and between us, we hand-painted all our signage. Our dads cut down forests to make all our wood signs and my mum decided to knit the wedding party! We may have got a bit carried away doing all the details but we loved creating it all!<\/p>\n

Bridesmaids<\/h3>\n

We chose the bridesmaids from Perfect Day, Lurgan, matching in with the colours of the day\u00a0and\u00a0the beading details matched my dress.<\/p>\n

The Honeymoon<\/h3>\n

We ended up having to rebook our honeymoon after the bombings in Sri Lanka but it wasn\u2019t too much hassle. Clubworld Travel in Banbridge were fantastic after they had to rearrange the whole trip when Sri Lanka was no longer an option. We instead spent a week exploring Capetown in South Africa\u00a0and\u00a0on safari, then relaxed for a week in Mauritius. We had a great time \u2013 highly recommended!<\/p>\n

Memorable Moments<\/h3>\n

It rained the whole hour\u2019s journey from the church to the venue. Our afternoon plans were garden games\u00a0and\u00a0a drinks reception. We realised we had never actually discussed what to do if it rained. Thankfully after a few wet photographs, the sun appeared,\u00a0and\u00a0we spent the afternoon playing games\u00a0and\u00a0evening outside around the firepit. We fondly remember guests flinging inflatable pigs around\u00a0and\u00a0some dodgy dance moves later on. All our families\u00a0and\u00a0friends got on like one big family\u00a0and\u00a0it was so special to have everyone there. Our day was so much more than we imagined. We loved every minute,\u00a0and\u00a0everyone commented on the love\u00a0and\u00a0effort we had put into making it our own.<\/p>\n

We will also never forget our amazing food from Jane\u2019s Kitchen. It was simply was incredible! They were so professional throughout; service was fantastic\u00a0and\u00a0the pudding bar was a real spectacle. Jane\u2019s menu was delicious.<\/p>\n

Advice For Other Couples<\/h3>\n

Enjoy it all \u2013 don\u2019t do things because people tell you you have to, just do things the way you want to do them\u00a0and\u00a0make the day your own.<\/p>\n
