Real Weddings

The main thing that they wanted was to have their ceremony outside. Jessica’s favourite flowers are sunflowers so they based a lot of the decorations around them. They tied some of the colours in with the colour of the bridesmaids’ burgundy dresses. 

They had always wanted a winter wedding, because they love Christmas! So they tied the knot in December 2020 and everything was cream and gold. 

For their theme and colours, they tried to stay away from what was trendy at the time. Instead, they opted for a more timeless look. The colour palette included blush pinks, peaches and a splash of burgundy. They were lucky that their colours went with both a summer and autumn wedding.

If you are planning your wedding, today is the perfect day to flick through some beautiful wedding videos.

“When we described our vision to Katie, our amazing wedding planner (Marry Me Cyprus) we said we wanted the day to be relaxed, fun and a huge party and that is exactly what the day was!”

Since their wedding was at Christmas time, they kept the theme and colours quite rich and festive. They stuck to the deeper reds, greens and golds but kept things quite simple as the venue speaks for itself and is very beautifully decorated at Christmas time.

“Even though our original vision of a wedding of 300 changed to a wedding of 25 it was so special and intimate and we had our nearest and dearest present.”

They wanted everything to be soft and relaxed so they opted for a thistle colour for the girls and black tie for the guys. They decided to have all 25 of their guests in black and it looked beautiful. Everybody loved getting dressed up! 

After the summer, they both agreed that they just wanted to be married more than anything, so they planned a lowkey wedding with just their immediate families. There were 7 of them and they got to surprise their family and friends with photos of them on the day!

Both Annette and Miceal are big fans of rock music, so their wedding had a music theme!

“We ended up planning 3 weddings with different dates and locations due to Covid. But in the end, small and simple was perfect.”

“Our wedding was in October, so I went with beautiful autumnal red dresses for the bridesmaids from Wed2Be. I wanted a splash of colour with the flowers, so I had sunflowers with red roses.”

“Our theme was tropical with rose gold which stuck throughout the 2 years of planning.”

“When we left that day, we had no doubt in our minds that we would be getting married at Shamrock Lodge and we would entrust the most important day of our lives to their capable hands.”

With just one month to go, lockdown was announced but hey finally tied the knot in December and had a beautiful wedding with 24 guests and all the regulations in place. They stuck with their spring theme and had blush pink and grey. 

Their colours were an aubergine purple with bits of gold scattered around.
