LGBTQI+ Castle Leslie Estate Wedding

If you’re looking for Love with a capital L this morning, then look no further. Ally and Andrew were married at the Castle Leslie Estate, and it’s truly one of those heartwarming days you don’t want to miss! With a glamorous, romantic vibe, they opted for local suppliers in order to support the local community. We absolutely love their peacock feather buttonholes, which actually match their incredible cake! The bold colour scheme gives us a Great Gatsby feel, which works perfectly alongside a winter wedding.

We had a collection of styles which came together in the end. The vibe was glamorous, bold colours, attention to detail and romantic touches. Our idea was to be the centre of attention but not take away from our beautiful bridal party.

We began planning the wedding when gay marriage was legalised in Northern Ireland. The planning took us two years whilst working as nurses through the pandemic. It was the perfect opportunity to bring everyone together to celebrate and catch up with our friends and family who we hadn't seen for a while. Our day was surrounded by warmth and togetherness, the venue and their hospitality added a layer of a "home from home" feel, which made us feel so welcome and special.
