When I came across Lisa and Paul's wedding, I knew I had to share it on my blog with you. The couple have now settled into married life, so lets have a peek at how their amazing wedding was put together…
Paul and Lisa met in May 2010 at their local pub in Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire, and soon became completely inseparable after their first date.
It was 2014, after being together for 4 years, they decided to take the next step and marry each other. They chose to keep the wedding secret for as long as possible so that they had the opportunity to plan their day as much as they could.
The Location
The wedding was held at Pystill Rhaeadr Waterfalls set in the foothills of the Berwyn Mountains. The waterfall itself is the highest in Wales and provides a most spectacular backdrop. It also provides a spiritual retreat where you can stay in magical, peaceful surroundings.
Paul and Lisa knew this would be the perfect setting for tying the knot after having previously visited Pystill together. Being such a tranquil and beautiful spot meant that the wedding would be kept intimate, as they didn't want to lose sight of the whole reason for being there and saying their vows to each other.
The wedding reception was held at Plas Uchaf Country House, not far from Pystill Rhaeadr, providing accommodation and food for the wedding guests. The house is set in beautiful grounds in the lower slops of Llwyn Bryn-Dinas and has beautiful views from every angle. The perfect backdrop for their day.
One of the things I love about this wedding is how much detail was put in to it. Lisa sourced and hand-made a lot of things for their big day (with the help of her friends and Pinterest of course!). Not only did this allow their budget to stay low, but also gave aspects of their wedding a much more personal touch.
Paul and Lisa chose bespoke and unique handmade wedding rings from Mark Artisan Uprising.
Lisa and Paul remained true to themselves and their love of alternative fashion (think rockabilly and Hot Rod) and chose their wedding outfits around this. Lisa's wedding dress was bought from eBay, hand made to measure with specific requirements by a tailor in the Far East. Her shoes were a steal from her local bridal shop sale at £30!
She styled her outfit with a small, alternative and bespoke bouquet by White Bryony Flower Creations made from ivory felt and fabrics, vintage buttons, brooches and diamante details.
Paul’s outfit was by Pike Brothers Superior Garments and won him "Pike of the Month" in Pike Brothers’ monthly competition for choosing to wear their vintage-styled clothing for his wedding day!
In keeping with the relaxed feel of the day, the guests were instructed to ‘wear jeans and be comfortable’!
