T O P T I P S from
# # # # 1. Define Your Style:
Start by considering the overall theme and atmosphere of your wedding. Are you going for a classic, formal celebration, or something more relaxed and casual? Understanding the tone of your wedding will help you narrow down your options and make informed decisions about your attire.

# # # # 2. Prioritize the Fit:
The fit of your outfit is essential for achieving a sophisticated look. Choose a style that flatters your body type and allows for comfortable movement throughout the day. Whether you opt for a tailored suit, a smart casual ensemble, or something in between, make sure it’s well-fitted. Visiting a skilled tailor for adjustments can ensure you look your best.

# # # # 3. Choose the Right Fabric and Details:
The fabric of your attire significantly influences its overall aesthetic and comfort. Consider traditional materials like wool for formal settings or lighter fabrics for warmer months. Pay attention to details such as lapel styles, button types, and pocket designs. These subtle elements can add character and uniqueness to your outfit.

# # # # 4. Coordinate with Your Partner:
Ensure your outfit complements your partner’s attire. Discuss color schemes, styles, and overall aesthetics to achieve a cohesive look. Coordinate accessories like ties, pocket squares, or even socks to enhance the wedding theme and create a unified appearance.

# # # # 5. Focus on Accessories and Finishing Touches:
Enhance your wedding day look with carefully selected accessories. Items like ties, pocket squares, cufflinks, and shoes can elevate your outfit and showcase your personal style. Choose accessories that align with your color scheme and the overall vibe of the wedding, while keeping it elegant and understated.

A Love Like No Other
"Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life,
love gives us a fairy tale."

There are few moments in life that are as magical as when two hearts join together in love. On a beautiful summer’s day; 2nd August 2024, Shannon Duffy and Dermot Curran celebrated their love story in front of family and friends. With St. Michael's Church in Enniskillen as the backdrop for their ceremony, and Lough Erne Resort hosting their classy reception, the day was nothing short of a dream come true. The bride, a trainee solicitor from Derry, and the groom, a principal software developer, had a day filled with joy, laughter, and cherished memories.

Shannon and Dermot first met in 2015 at a friend’s 18th birthday party. After hours of dancing and party fun, Dermot made a bold move, walking up to Shannon and saying, “I really want to kiss you.” As Shannon laughs now, "I guess being direct works sometimes!" This cheeky, romantic introduction sparked a love story that grew stronger over the years, despite some off-and-on moments. By 2019, the couple knew they were meant to be together forever, and their relationship flourished, leading to their unforgettable wedding day.

Weddings are a time of joy, love, and
celebration—a day where every detail is
planned to perfection. While the bride
often takes centre stage, the groom’s
preparation is just as crucial. Ensuring
the groom and his party are groomed,
relaxed, and ready to step into their new
life with confidence is the mission behind
Groom The Groom, a unique wedding
day service based in Lisburn. Founded by
Claire Boyle, a passionate entrepreneur,
wife, and mother, Groom The Groom is
revolutionising how grooms approach
their wedding day preparations.
Claire Boyle runs the business from
Lisburn, where she lives with her two boys,
Teddy and Ruben. Since 2016, Claire
has grown her business from a single
salon into two thriving locations under
the name The Barbers Den —one in
Lisburn and the other in Ballynahinch. Over
the years, Claire has earned an impressive
nine awards, building a fantastic team
and expanding her offerings to include
specialised services like the SkinBase Hair
Loss System at her private hair loss clinic.
The idea for Groom The Groom was born
from Claire’s own wedding experience.
On her big day, Claire had a professional
help her with her dress and create a calm
atmosphere. Realising there wasn’t a similar
service available for grooms, she saw an
opportunity. After discussing her idea with
a wedding supplier, Groom The Groom
was launched to fill this gap in the market,
offering grooms a stress-free morning.
Claire’s background in the hair and beauty
industry spans over 18 years, her success
in her ventures, coupled with her personal
experiences, paved the way for Groom The Groom to become an essential service for
grooms in the area.

A Love Set in Galbally

"In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine."
—Maya Angelou

On the 1st of April 2024, the charming village of Galbally, Co Tyrone, became the backdrop for a wedding that was nothing short of magical. Caron Brannigan and Aidan Carberry, both natives of this close-knit community, celebrated their love surrounded by 316 family members and friends. The ceremony took place at the beautiful St. John's Church in Galbally, followed by a joyous reception at the Four Seasons Hotel in Carlingford. The day was filled with love, laughter, and the kind of memories that will be cherished forever.

Caron, a dedicated teacher, and Aidan, a talented electrician, had known each other for years, being from the same club in Galbally. However, it wasn’t until Aidan’s sister decided to play matchmaker that sparks began to fly. As fate would have it, the two were perfectly matched, and their relationship blossomed from friendship to a deep, enduring love that has lasted over twelve wonderful years.

A Dreamy Donegal Love Story

“Love recognises no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences,
penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope”
Maya Angelou_

In the heart of Donegal, two souls met at a country dance, igniting a romance that would span over a decade. Catherine Dooher, a 27-year-old Senior Appeals Representative from Porthall, Lifford, and Kian Hutchinson, a 30-year-old digger driver from Inch Island, Lifford, found their forever dance partner that fateful night. Their journey together reached a beautiful crescendo on their wedding day, a celebration filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

March 30, 2023 is a day that will be etched in their hearts forever. Kian took Catherine to the beautiful shores of Narin Beach in Portnoo. The gentle waves whispered secrets of love as Kian proposed with a sparkling ring from Crossan Jewellers in Buncrana. The proposal was a simple yet profound moment, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their love story.
