Junior doctors Thomas and Emily celebrated their love in with a delightful and classy spring wedding on the 9th of May, 2024, at the stunning Magheramorne Estate in Northern Ireland.
Emily looked effortlessly chic in a contemporary bridal gown by the renowned Ukrainian designer Eva Lendel.
The couple envisioned a day focused on genuine connection, where each guest could feel the warmth and sincerity of their love. Vibrant wildflower inspired floral arrangements provided beautiful punches of colour to bring energy to the couple’s neutral colour palette. The day was beautifully captured by the talented Iain Urwin, whose photography reflects the emotion and understated elegance of this modern wedding.

Eva Lendel
My dress was by Ukranian designer, Eva Lendel, and from the Dream Weddings bridal boutique in Coleraine.
Dream weddings were just exceptional – they made me feel so comfortable and the whole experience made so special – I would recommend them to anyone.
My shoes were Charles & Keith and my scent was Neroli by Le Labo – I chose it with my parents during a trip to Copenhagan.
My makeup artist was Sarah Jane Johnston, a makeup queen, who made all the girls feel like the best version of themselves.
The Ceremony
The structure of our day was built around our church service, as we promised to love each other under God for the rest of our lives.
My father accompanied me down the aisle, to the sound of ‘Miracle’, by Riley Clements.
The Minister of our local church lead our ceremony, which included bible readings read by my granda and one of Thomas’ friends.
Walking out of the church as Mr and Mrs for the first time was my favourite moment.

How They Met
We met in school, Thomas broke his leg and I (Emily) brought him to school so he didn’t have to get the bus, and the rest is history.
We had been engaged approximately a year and a month before our wedding day.
Thomas’s suit was from Reds Groomswear.
The Reception
We chose Magheramorne because of the attention to customer service, the beautiful estate and the exceptional food.
Gathered Floral were our florists – we had a wildflower theme with lots of beautiful bold colour to pop against the rest of the neutral colours.
Our stationery was by Two Little Words Stationery.
Our cake was by Sugar Fix Bakery – Scott’s attention to detail and ease to work with is why we chose him!! The cake was incredible.
Words of Wedded Wisdom
This is the only time you will ever have everyone you love and cherish in the one place at one so soak up every little moment throughout the day with your new Mr or Mrs at your side.
