Claire has the honour of not only living near us in Belfast, but growing up near me in Omagh! Of course, being an Omagh girl, she has impeccable style and taste... I absolutely adored her flowers, by our fabulous friend Hollie at Rosehip and Berry Floral Studio - especially the gorgeous Halloween-themed flowers and white pumpkins in the Church. And they also had our wonderful friends, the Rare Aul Stuff on musical duties all day - ceremony, reception and night! But as stylish and cool as everyone and everything was, their little boy, Conán, stole the show.
After their ceremony in The Good-shepherd church in Belfast, we headed on to the amazing Carriage Rooms at Montalto. The weather was absolutely amazing, then awful... then amazing... then awful, again... then amazi-- you get the picture - pretty much a standard autumn day in Ireland. The rain didn't phase Claire and Chris, though - giggling as they ran from the car to the venue under the cover of umbrellas. This is how you do it!
When the weather was good, we quickly grabbed Claire and Chris and dandered around the grounds of the Carriage Rooms with loads of gorgeous autumn colours to play with. It's really worth the weather risk of an autumn wedding to capture the riot of colour that you only get in those months.
