We're delighted to share a real wedding today that's bursting with love, elegance and romance from high school sweethearts Laura-Jane and Harry. Their ceremony took place in St. John's parish church in Tyrone, followed by a reception in the stunning Hilton Park in Monaghan. Each loving glance was captured by the brilliant Signature Photography and we love the result! Featuring incredible floral arrangements and plenty of old Hollywood glamour, this Hilton Park wedding is a true heart-stopper.
Quite possibly the cutest little flower fairy we've ever seen!
Laura-Jane tells us that she and Harry met at, "the Royal School Armagh when we were just 16 years old. It became official at a friend’s Halloween party." How adorable is that!
As for the proposal, Laura-Jane tells us, "We were on a romantic night away in Belfast city centre and he proposed in the hotel room down on one knee." Of course, she said yes!
Oh, we do love a good confetti toss!
The bridesmaids looked stunning in neutral-toned bridesmaids dresses which Laura-Jane sourced from Oasis. The darling flower girl dress was a clever find at Next.
When it came to their venue, the couple chose Hilton Park House for its charm and the feeling that it was so undiscovered and felt exclusive to them. Laura-Jane tells us, "The views of the lake from the drawing room were stunning and we loved how intimate it felt. The dining room was also a nice contrast to the manor house and was a blank canvas for decorating, allowing us to putt our own personal touch to it."
The reception space at Hilton Park is so dreamy.
The couple's gorgeous cockapoo Angus couldn't be there on the big day but we love this adorable tribute!
The couple tells us that they wanted their day to have an elegant and classic feel, but still a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Laura-Jane tells us that the most important thing for their day was to just be themselves as a couple and celebrate with the people they loved. Surprise opera singing waiters and an MC got the party started, while wedding band The Hand Me Downs kept them dancing deep into the night!
We adore these couples portraits captured on the stunning grounds of Hilton Park. Defo keepers for the wedding album.
Laura-Jane's advice for couples planning a wedding is simple; "Just be you and let your personalities come through. Everything comes together better than you could ever imagine on the day." The couple went on their honeymoon to Dubrovnick in Croatia for five nights and would highly recommend it.
A huge thank you to Laura-Jane & Harry for sharing their beautiful Hilton Park wedding with us. A special thanks also goes to Signature Photography for these amazing images. There are more gorgeous pictures from their day to swoon over in the gallery below.
