Surrounded by spectacular lakeside views, our real wedding couple Hannah and Christopher exchanged vows at the breathtaking Lusty Beg Island Resort. Located in Co. Fermanagh, the idyllic and secluded island served as a phenomenal backdrop to the pair's special day. Featuring an adorable chihuahua groomsman, wedding stationery designed by the bride and a glorious rustic theme, check out Hannah and Christopher's fabulous wedding day, captured by Hannah McKeown Photography, below!
Before diving headfirst into their gorgeous day, let's get to know the happy couple a bit more! Hannah and Christopher's paths first crossed when they were introduced through mutual friends in 2014. Fast forward to 2021 to their sweet engagement story: "Christopher proposed at home on a cosy Friday December night while decorating the Christmas tree."
Â
From the outset the couple wanted their island celebration to be relaxed, rustic and to be surrounded by their closest family and friends. "The overall vibe consisted of a nature-inspired, rustic aesthetic, with forestry, wooden, greenery and floral textures."
How adorable is Hannah's flower girl in her pretty-in-pink Monsoon tulle dress?
After sharing a sweet first look with her bridal party, glowing bride Hannah headed over to the idyllic ceremony spot in her wonderful Morilee gown, complemented by a pastel bouquet of roses, eucalyptus and baby's breath.

Our couple made sure their guests were spoiled with lots of treats, from sweets to donuts and bags of tasty popcorn.
Surrounded by the picturesque views of Lough Erne, Hannah and Christopher tied the knot on the island venue of Lusty Beg: "Having to take a short boat trip to get there makes it a very unique location for a wedding. Surrounded by water matched perfectly to our rustic, nature inspired theme."
  Â
Their rustic ceremony space featured a wooden hexagonal moongate, a flickering candle-lined aisle and twinkling lights: "We are both nature-loving people, who love to go on walks in the countryside. A rustic theme perfectly matched both our personalities." Radiant bride Hannah made her entrance to the tune of Pachelbel's Canon in D, a song that she has loved since a teen.Â
Hannah and Christopher gave this advice to couple's embarking on their own wedding planning journey: "It sounds cliché, but don’t sweat the small stuff. You can plan the day to a tight schedule but it will not run entirely to plan, but you will be so wrapped up in enjoying your day that you won’t even notice if something isn’t going exactly how you expected. Also, your wedding is unique to the both of you, so make decisions to suit you and meet your own wishes."
Hannah's bridesmaids wore a duo of stunning pastel pink dresses complete with elegant shoulder detailing, while the groomsmen's look leaned into the rustic vibe in rich, earthy shades of tweed.
Following their dreamy outdoor photoshoot, the couple's reception went on to include a chic fresh floral wedding cake and a first dance to Luke Combs' Forever After All.

Adding that extra personal touch, Hannah's mum and maid of honour gifted the couple handmade decorations, Hannah and Christopher got crafty and made their rustic polaroid display together and the bride also designed and made some of their wedding stationery herself!

How cute is the couple's pet chihuahua Alfie who served the role of third groomsman in his cute doggy tux!
After their busy wedding festivities, Hannah and Christopher jetted off to the Stella Island Luxury Resort and Spa in Crete for their well deserved honeymoon: "The perfect paradise, we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious break and we cannot wait to return in the future!"
