A Love Story from Portugal to Northern Ireland and Back Again!

#JustWedWednesday ✨

From the very first moment we met Elisabete, we knew we’d met someone truly special, a bride with the biggest heart, and the kind of warmth that makes you feel like old friends reunited, even though it was our very first meeting!

Originally from Portugal, Elisabete met her now-husband Paulo in Northern Ireland back in 2016 through Tinder. Fast forward a few years, and Paulo proposed at home on the anniversary of their very first date. Just two months later, they discovered they were expecting their beautiful little girl, Chloe, the sweetest addition to their love story.

Shopping with Fiona was, in Elisabete’s words, “simply a dream.” Fiona made her feel comfortable in her own skin and quickly became Chloe’s new best friend! 

Elisabete arrived with one dress in mind, but it was the wild card that completely stole her heart. When she returned with her Dad and her husband’s aunt for one final try-on, it was clear that the LeeLee gown was the one all along.

A Rustic Summer Wedding in Portugal ?☀️

Elisabete and Paulo celebrated their love in Portugal on a beautiful summer’s day surrounded by family, friends, and their precious daughter Chloe who was their flower girl. The day was filled with rustic charm, laughter, and love, the perfect reflection of who they are as a couple.

Her most cherished memory? Choosing her dress alongside her childhood best friends and daughter, and, of course, walking down the aisle to marry the love of her life.

Elisabete’s Advice for Future Brides ?

“Don’t stress the small things… the most important thing is that you’re starting this new chapter together as one.”

We couldn’t agree more Elisabete! Thank you for letting us be part of your journey,  it was an absolute joy helping you find your dream dress.  May we wish you a lifetime of happiness together.  Congratulations. xx
