inspired: the most beautiful Ibizan Wedding. x

On a cold grey day in the British Isles, I have the most utterly beautiful wedding to share with you, and it's sure to brighten up your weekend...


I have been dying to post this wedding for ages as it's one very close to my heart.


Nearly two years ago, Darren and Carol married in front of 35 of their closest friends and family at the picturesque Puig de Missa in San Eulalia, Ibiza. The day was gorgeous in every aspect- the sun shone down, Carol was radiant and Darren looked completely besotted with his gorgeous bride.
I am so blessed to have been a part of this very special day- I was honoured when Carol asked me to design and create her bridal gown and spend time with them both to help style the groom and other parts of the wedding.


The very cool couple spend a lot of time on the White Isle so it seemed an appropriate backdrop for their nuptials and, in hiring boutique hotel Can Domo near to San Eulalia, Carol and Darren made a great choice. Looking out over the Ibizan countryside and olive groves, the traditional Spanish finca was the perfect romantic setting, rustic and unpretentious... It really was the most gorgeous of days.


Ibizan photographer Gypsy Westwood captured the mood and beauty of the day perfectly. She did a great job... but of course it helps if you have such a good-looking bride and groom to shoot!

Carol's choices of dress (ahem..!), accessories, venues and photographer all complimented the Ibizan surroundings to create the most perfectly chilled and beautiful Balearic wedding. It couldn't have been better... this is what destination weddings should aspire to (in my opinion)...


Love you both. x
