Surrounded by the rolling Cavan countryside, our real wedding couple Amandeep and Liam celebrated in style at Crover House on a sunny August day. Accompanied by 96 of their closest friends and family this pair brought together their Irish and Punjabi cultures in a joy-filled celebration at the spectacular country home. Featuring a delicate pastel colour palette and a ceremony carried out by a family friend, check out Amandeep and Liam's bright and stylish affair, captured by Francis Meaney Photography, below.
Before diving into the details of their special day, let's get to know the happy couple a bit more! Kerry-born Liam and Amandeep, who is from Kent, met when they both lived in flats upstairs from each other: "Liam lived in flat 1 and I lived in flat 2. We both became friends alongside other people we lived with. We bonded over tea and custard creams and YouTube videos. Eventually we became more than friends over time and enjoyed spending time together."
Fast forward to their sweet proposal story, Liam popped the question on Amandeep's birthday: "Liam had given me flowers and a card with a loving message. He directed me to a large white box with a cake in it, when I opened it, it was a cake that said ’will you marry me?’ and when I turned around Liam was on one knee with a ring."
Amandeep and Liam chose the idyllic Crover House as the host for their dreamy special day: "There was no planned theme of the wedding, our key vision for the day was concentrating on our family and friends and bringing them good food, the love of Ireland and sharing our positive and loving energy with each other. The hotel was an amazing venue with an exceptional wedding team that couldn’t do enough for us and our guests on the day. The sun shined brightly that day and our guests enjoyed the rolling green landscaped gardens and the beautiful lake. The brief was to come ‘looking and feeling your best’. There was no set dress code for anyone."
From the outset of planning, the Somerset-based couple's priorities for their wedding day was "to share meaningful moments, recognise what our guests would enjoy the most throughout the day, to keep it simple and meaningful. We were lucky that we had a day of love and positive energy and our guests made us both feel amazing throughout the day. We are very blessed to have lifetimes of friendships in one room for a special day."
Walking down the aisle to Feeling Blew's Sweet Disposition, our glowing bride wore a breathtaking draped tulle off-the-shoulder gown by Story of my Dress and held a gorgeous soft pastel bouquet of roses from O'Reilly Flowers.
In terms of what made their day all the more special: "Our parents, the readings, the well wishes and the smiles. We enjoyed our music throughout the day and bringing our two cultures together, the Punjabi culture together with the Irish."
Amandeep and Liam had this advice for those planning their own wedding day: "To keep your core principles as a couple on what would make you happy. We focused on what we definitely wanted on the day and what feeling it left us with after the day was over. We prioritised a list of must-haves versus like-to-haves."
Amandeep's bridesmaids wore a phenomenal medley of black gowns in coordinating styles all chosen individually by each bridesmaid.
With the stylish reception space at Crover House decorated in the couple's soft pastel colour palette, Amandeep and Liam's aesthetic was inspired by the venue's openness and view of the lake. Adding that the country home complemented everything they could have wanted, the pair knew it was 'the one' when: "We came and ate steak and drank Guinness. The deal was sealed after that. We were shown the venue on a whim and we decided in that moment it was the perfect venue for us."
The couple didn't miss an opportunity to make a wish for their happy future together in the old wishing well in the lobby.
