Real Bride - Helen & John
The Ivory Room bride Helen married John on the luxurious Mount Falcon Estate in County Mayo, Ireland. Helen looked amazing in her Essense Of Australiagown. Her bridesmaids wore their Eliza & Ethan multi-way dresses with style. Here is their story…..
THE PROPOSAL
I live in Australia with my husband who is Irish and we had planned a sightseeing day in London on a return visit to the UK for Christmas. Later in the day we received a text from his sister to say she had bought us drinks over looking London for a present. I didn’t want to go because it would mess up my plans up for the day. Luckily I changed my mind because as I walked out of the lift of a building in westminister John had decorated the most beautiful room with an amazing view of London. After I walked in hearing our favourite song I turned round and he was on one knee!
THE WEDDING DRESS
I’m usually a very fussy person with clothes and make up. However, when I walked into my first dress shop, The Ivory Room, I tried on the first dress and loved it. This was an Essence of Australia dress, Victoria persuaded me to try another which I also loved. I spent the hour going between the two dresses. I did try other styles but I truly fell in love with the Essence of Australia styles D2205 and D2322. That day I purchased D2205 and cancelled all the other dress shops we had booked. Victoria made the experience so perfect and memorable. The Ivory Room is so lovely and Victoria has all her attention on getting everything right for you.
THE WEDDING
Our wedding was a traditional Irish wedding. John and I wanted a beautiful classic day and a big party in the evening. We achieved just that…we hired an estate for the weekend, so it was only our guests at the venue which made it very personal.
One of the most special memories was seeing my father’s face when he walked into the hotel room and I was in my wedding dress. It was also so magical to have all our friends and family together from Australia, New Zealand, England and Ireland for our wedding day.
