A Festival of Style in Norfolk: Ieva & James
Where & When: The couple were joined by loved ones from all over the world to celebrate them tying the knot in a tucked-away barn at Manor Mews in Norfolk on a beautiful and warm September day.
The Style: Ieva wore a timelessly sophisticated A-line gown and she carried a bouquet bursting with bright blooms. Her leading ladies wore mix and match satin gowns in a stunning medley of shades: soft sage green, taupe, terracotta, baby pink soft blue. The groomswear exuded rustic elegance with James and his best gents wearing green tweed suits with orange ties.
Details We Love: Lithuanian traditions, burying the sausage the day before (which worked as while they were forecast for grey skies and rain the wedding day was gloriously sunny), 35mm film, a Lambeth wedding cake with the sweet slogan “to whatever end”.

An Ethereal Glam Fairytale: Alisa & Lee
Where & When: Alisa and Lee exchanged vows at the charming Carlow country house venue Ballykealey House.
The Style: With Lee opting for a timeless slick tux, Alisa wowed in an ethereal tulle and lace ballgown wedding dress. Later she had a surprise for her husband as she revealed it was in fact a double dress! She took off the top skirt to reveal the full lace Badgley Mischka gown underneath.
