Alisa and Phil got married on July 5th, 2014. This beautiful wedding took place in Kippure Estate, Co. Wicklow and it was planned all the way from Canada! The big day was captured by the wonderful Ashley Notley.
“Because so many of our guests were coming from Canada we wanted to give them a year’s notice, so we started planning a year and a half in advance. We enjoyed the planning although planning from a different continent has its challenges!”
“The wedding menu from Kippure was amazing! The wedding night itself had a fairly traditional menu, but the night before we had an Indian night to celebrate Alisa’s father’s family’s culture. Kippure was able to use some of the family recipes to put on a delicious Indian spread!”
“The Indian theme went loosely throughout the wedding. Of course for the Indian night we had Indian food, clothes and music, but even on the wedding day we had pink, turquoise and gold as our accent colours, and little elephants and paisley patterns on the table name cards and place tags.”
“The pictures were gorgeous! Our photographer (who is also my cousin!) did an amazing job capturing the beautiful scenery around Kippure Estate. I have so many favourite photos, but a couple that stand out to me are the one of the wedding party where the guys are holding the bouquets in front of their faces , and the one of Phil and I on the bridge in black and white with the beautiful tree branches in the foreground. I also like the ones of Phil and I in front of the old stone wall.”
“I found my dress over a year before the wedding! It was from a shop near my mom’s house in Ottawa that I had always loved, and it was on sale. It’s by Enzoani and was simple but fit me well. I had the train removed so I wouldn’t have to worry about it getting grass stained or about stepping on it on the dance floor!”
“The best part of our wedding day was just being in the same room with all our friends and family. As we are from different countries and have friends all over the world it was really a once in a lifetime opportunity to have so many of the people we love in one room.”
“I couldn’t pick just one part to relive, it was all amazing!”
