A Wedding Weekend to Remember
Destination Celebrations at Lough Erne Resort

There was a time when a “destination wedding” meant passports, long-haul flights and a carefully coordinated logistics plan. But for modern couples particularly those planning for 2027 the idea has evolved. Today’s destination wedding is less about distance and more about experience: a multi-day celebration that brings loved ones together, slows everything down, and transforms a single day into something far more meaningful.
Set within a breathtaking 600-acre private peninsula in County Fermanagh, Lough Erne Resort captures this shift perfectly. Overlooking the tranquil waters of Lough Erne, the resort offers everything couples are now seeking: exclusivity, luxury, and the feeling of being completely transported without ever leaving Ireland.

The Rise of the Wedding Weekend

Couples are increasingly moving away from traditional, time-pressed wedding days in favour of immersive, two or three day celebrations. It’s a natural response to modern life. With families and friends often spread across countries and even continents a wedding has become a rare opportunity to gather everyone in one place.
At Lough Erne Resort, this concept comes to life effortlessly. With only one wedding hosted per day, couples are guaranteed complete exclusivity across the estate. This allows the celebration to unfold at a relaxed pace, giving space for meaningful moments that might otherwise be rushed or missed.
The setting itself encourages guests to switch off. Panoramic water views, sweeping landscapes and a sense of total privacy create an atmosphere that feels worlds away from everyday life. It’s this blend of escapism and accessibility and just a short journey from both Belfast and Dublin that makes it such an appealing alternative to overseas destinations.

Illustrated Elegance: The Wedding Keepsakes Your Guests Will Treasure Forever
In a world where couples are constantly searching for meaningful, memorable ways to elevate their wedding day, live illustration is emerging as one of the most charming and personal trends. At the forefront of this movement is Amy Devlin, the creative force behind Amy Devlin Illustrations—an artist transforming fleeting moments into timeless works of art.
Based in Donegal and travelling across Ireland, Amy has spent over a decade honing her craft in fashion illustration. With a background rooted in fashion and ongoing study in the field, she brings a distinctive flair to weddings—one that blends style, movement, and a touch of runway magic. Think flowing dresses captured mid-sway, sharply tailored suits brought to life with elegant strokes, and every guest reimagined through a modern, chic lens.
But Amy’s work is about far more than beautiful drawings. It’s about experience.
Set against the hum of your reception, her illustration table becomes a hub of excitement and curiosity. Guests are invited to step forward for a quick photograph—no long sittings required—before returning to enjoy the celebration. Meanwhile, Amy works quietly in the background on her iPad, translating each image into a stylish portrait. By the end of the evening, guests receive their own bespoke illustration, printed, packaged, and ready to take home in a protective sleeve.
The result? A wedding favour that won’t be forgotten on the table.

Entirely yours: celebrating at Gilford Castle Estate
Imagine a wedding shaped entirely around your vision. Gilford Castle Estate is a private Victorian Scottish Baronial house set within mature woodland and ornamental gardens on the River Bann in Couty Down. We host a limited number of weddings each year, shaped through close collaboration with you and those you trust. The house and grounds are available only for exclusive use. Your celebration will be our sole focus. This isn’t a venue you book. It’s a private home that you inhabit throughout your celebration.

Choose your setting
The flexibility of the estate means you can design a ceremony that reflects your vision. Choose to exchange your vows in one of our intimate and elegant spaces in the castle or the grounds. Our gardens host ceremonies of up to 150 guests. Our three courtyards each cater to different types of weddings, including small groups of up to 30 people, intimate gatherings of up to 80 people, and congregations of up to 120 people. You may opt to host your guests within the castle's period rooms, which host up to 70 people.

The flow of the day
After your ceremony, the celebration unfolds naturally across the castle's reception rooms and gardens. There's time for photographs among the trees, conversation in the courtyards, and the unhurried unfolding of the afternoon. As evening falls, you move into the adjoining glass-fronted marquee, designed as a natural extension of the house itself. It opens onto the grounds to maintain a connection to the landscape while ensuring warmth and comfort as the night deepens.

Kim Alexandra Hair

The Curl Specialist Changing Bridal Beauty in Northern Ireland

In a world where bridal beauty once leaned heavily toward sleek blow-dries and polished perfection, Kim Alexandra is quietly and confidently rewriting the script.
As Northern Ireland’s only curl-focused bridal hairstylist, the founder of Kim Alexandra Hair has built her reputation on one powerful belief: you do not need to change your texture to be bridal. Full stop.
Her journey began long before wedding mornings and veils. Kim grew up in her mother’s salon, working there from the age of twelve. Hair was never a career decision; it was simply life. But the direction her career would eventually take wasn’t always obvious.
After losing her mum in 2016, everything shifted. Grief has a way of clarifying what matters. For Kim, it reframed beauty, confidence and time itself. She realised she didn’t just want to “do hair” she wanted to help women feel powerful in their own skin.
In 2018, she began wearing her own hair naturally and immersed herself in the online curly world. What she found was overwhelming: rigid rules, misinformation and a subtle undercurrent suggesting curls needed to be corrected or controlled. In bridal spaces especially, she noticed a pattern. Curly-haired brides were often having their hair blown out straight… only to have curls added back in with a wand.
“I kept thinking, why are we still doing this?” she reflects.
That question became her turning point.

A Love Worth the Wait: Perfectly-Timed “I Do”
Some love stories don’t rush—and for Keilie Kirk and Kyle Semple, that’s exactly what made theirs so special.
Hailing from Dungannon and Magherafelt, their paths first crossed thanks to a little behind-the-scenes matchmaking from two very important people in their lives their Maid of Honour and Best Man. While their friends were certain the pair were meant to be, love took its time. Despite the encouragement, it would be another two years before Keilie and Kyle finally found their way to each other and when they did, it was worth every second of the wait.
From that moment on, their relationship blossomed into something grounded, genuine, and full of quiet certainty. Over nearly five years together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and most importantly, family sharing their journey with their kids at the heart of it all.

There’s a reason why South Africa consistently sits at the top of so many travellers’ bucket lists. Few destinations offer such extraordinary diversity within a single country — from dramatic coastlines and world-class vineyards to iconic wildlife and vibrant cities.
Last November, Denise was fortunate enough to experience it firsthand on a whirlwind tour showcasing some of the very best the country has to offer — including glorious sunshine while the UK was deep in winter.
Romance, Adventure and World-Class Scenery: The Perfect South African Honeymoon
Couples searching for a honeymoon that blends romance, adventure and unforgettable scenery are increasingly turning to South Africa. Here, dramatic landscapes, thrilling wildlife encounters and exceptional food and wine come together to create a journey that feels both indulgent and exciting.
A typical honeymoon itinerary begins with an overnight flight to Cape Town, allowing newlyweds to wake up to one of the world’s most breathtaking coastal cities. On arrival, the adventure begins immediately with a two-night stay at Aquila Private Game Reserve, located just outside the city.
Here, couples can experience the magic of an authentic African safari. Guided game drives offer the chance to spot elephants, lions, rhinos and giraffes roaming the reserve. As evening falls, guests can unwind beneath star-filled African skies, enjoying exceptional dining and the peaceful atmosphere of the bush — a truly magical start to married life.
