FASHION NOTES
Bride's wedding dress:
I chose the Monique top and Anika Skirt.
What it means to be a Catherine Deane Bride:
Individual and empowered!
Falling in love with my Catherine Deane gown:
Our wedding was intimate and surrounded by family members. I loved the cool vibe of the separates, and they fit my personality and style to a T. I purchased my dress during full lockdown online when no clothing shops were open.

Our Honeymoon destination:
We plan to go to Italy in August 2022. A lot of Rome and Capri. My husband hasn’t spent a lot of time in Italy so I think it will be magical. Most of his travels have been from competing or lads trips so this will be a different way to travel for him.
Our most memorable moment:
We walked down the aisle together to Christy Moore’s “The Voyage”
