Today's real wedding is a beautiful explosion of colour, love and nature from Aisling and Chris. The couple are based in London but chose to have their wedding at Virginia Park Lodge in County Cavan. They tied the knot officially in London but as Aisling is from Tipperary, it was important for them to come to Ireland and fully celebrate with family after the pandemic. A day full of gorgeous vibes, it was captured effortlessly by Nina Val Photography and we are head over heels with the result!

So firstly we had to ask the lovely couple how they met and they revealed, "We met at a mutual friend's wedding in Toulon in June 2018. The bride was in matchmaking mode, as it turned out. We then dated when we got back to London, and that was the start of that."

Aisling's dress from Temperley London was so quirky and out of this world! We are huge fans.

This selection of beautiful colours in the floral decor creates such a palette of warmth during a winter wedding, which tied in perfectly in with Aisling's vibrant Temperley London gown.

When it came to the proposal, Aisling says, "Chris proposed in Richmond Park in March 2020, just before the first lockdown in the UK. We were meant to be in Ireland that weekend but Covid had put paid to that trip, so it was an improvised plan B."

The couple chose Virginia Park Lodge after they totally fell in love with it saying, "It ticked all the boxes, and we enjoyed our interactions with Deirdre and Ciaran. We had feasted on many great meals at Corriganʼs and Bentleyʼs in London, so we knew the food was guaranteed to be good."

The stunning backdrops of Virginia Park Lodge created amazing wedding photo opportunities and we can't get enough of these images from Nina Val Photography!

The couples best advice for those engaged is to get planning early! "Organise as much as possible as early as possible, especially now with so many suppliers booked out far in advance. Donʼt stress over the small, innocuous decisions, and practice you wedding dance." And dance they did as they twirled the night away on the dance floor to the energetic sound of The Vinyls.

A huge thank you to Aisling and Chris for charing their Virginia Park Lodge wedding day with us. Furthermore, a massive thank you to Nina Val Photography for these stunning images! There are more beautiful pictures below for you see.
