“I loved seeing our chocolate brown Labrador Denzel when we came out of the church in his dickie bow.”
The couple: Oriel Lawton & Niall Tynan
Length of engagement: 13 months | Wedding date: 27th May 2016
Wedding location: Fota Island Resort, Cork
Photographer: Emma Russell Photography
My hair and make-up… Jacqui Murphy Hair and Liz McCarthy Make-up.
My dress… was a Paloma Blanca dress.
The flower girls’ dresses… were from princessly.com.
His suit… was a navy tux with a black satin lapel. Niall wore a red dickie bow, and the groomsmen wore platinum bowties to match the girls.
Our ceremony… was in St. Josephs SMA Church, Wilton. Also we had a fab gospel choir; The Hallelujah Gospel Choir.
My favourite part of the wedding day… Oriel: dancing down the aisle to Going to the Chapel on my dad’s arm – everyone was so happy, it was so much fun! Niall: Seeing our chocolate brown Labrador Denzel when we came out of the church in his dickie bow.
We chose our photographer because… Emma (Emma Russell Photography) did my sister-in-law Lisa’s wedding and the photos were fab!
We chose our venue because… We wanted somewhere that could take our wedding numbers and would look like somewhere from a James Bond movie so we chose Fota Island Resort in Cork.
Our wedding theme/colours… we had a James Bond theme! It was a Black Tie wedding with a fun casino at the drinks reception. Our bridesmaids wore platinum and the flowers were red.
Little extras… we had a caricature by Niall O’Loughlin on a board and all our guests signed around it, great as a keepsake afterwards.
Our honeymoon… was in Cancun in Mexico. Luxurious and fab!
