Continuing our travels with Irish couples getting married in exotic locations around the world, today we're delighted to present the beautiful Spanish wedding of Triona & David, photographed by Shane O'Sullivan of Sosac Photography.
Triona & David were married in the beautiful resort town of Sitges, just north of Barcelona, in the most romantic of locations -a magnificent medieval church by the sea in the centre of town, and then followed with an outdoor courtyard reception in a Villa overlooking the town. Seriously, jealous much?
For those of you seeking inspiration for bridal style that is understated, elegant and so ladylike, then Triona is the bride for you. Read on...
Triona's elegant strapless gown is from premier Irish bridal designer Sharon Hoey. Triona opted for a very understated and elegant bridal look, complementing the clean and simple lines of the dress with perfect chignon and beautiful makeup, and accessorizing with only an (almost) matching diamante headpiece and pretty vintage drop earrings from Rhinestone on Andrews St. The overall effect is stunning and also perfect for the balmy Spanish weather.
Sitges is known as the St. Tropez of Spain, as well-heeled visitors flock to stay in the picturesque town with its magnificent sea views, winding streets and great food. So a great place to turn a few heads as Triona did when she was brought to the church in a fire-engine red convertible Mini Cooper - girl knows how to make an entrance!
One of the main reasons Triona & David chose to be married in Sitges was for the beauty of the medieval Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla church, which is situated right on the promenade. "The church was spectacular, it had a really gothic feel and the setting on the beach was amazing."
"The reception was held in Almiral de la Font which is an exceptionally beautiful villa set in countryside/vineyard surrounding. We had beautiful weather and the reception was held outdoors." The Almiral de la Font boast an indoor space for 75, while the outdoor courtyard where Triona and David had their reception can seat up to 120. And there is an outdoor Moroccan chill out area and an infinity pool! Nice work Triona & David...
The couple danced their first dance to Rocky took a Lover by BellX1 interpreted very well by a local band. Love it.
And any words of wisdom for other couples planning their day? "Enjoy the planning and try not to get too stressed; everything works out in the end. Planning should be exciting and as much fun as the wedding day. Don’t be afraid to ask friends and family for help as they will be more than honoured and glad to be part of your big day. It actually makes it more special and intimate when family and friends contribute"
Huge Congratulations to David & Triona, hope married life is treating you well, and many thanks for sharing your day with us.
