Bride's Story

Martin
& Lorna
Old school friends
Martin and Lorna tied the knot in the classic
setting of Wrest Park
The ceremony…
The details…
Lorna Lopez and Martin Byrne married
on the 31st August 2013 at the rural 12th
Century church of St Mary’s the Virgin,
Maulden. The day was hot and sunny so
the canapé and drinks reception held on
the terrace of the Mansion House, Wrest
Park was very welcome. The guests then
moved to the beautiful Orangery for the
wedding breakfast.
A unique and unusual theme for the table
plan was the Manchester United treble
winning team of 1999. Each table had a
team photo and was named after a player
from the team. Obviously Martin’s idea!
The look…
The bride looked stunning in a floor
length ivory gown with a chapel train
from the Jasmine Bridal collection.
Diamante crystals embellished the
neckline, straps and the length of the
back of the dress.
As the couple wanted a traditional
style they opted for the groom and
grooms men to wear morning suits; with
an ivory cravat and hankerchief for the
groom and lemon accessories for the
other grooms men which matched the
bridesmaids Grecian-inspired
A-symmetrical dresses.
Your favourite moment…
‘My favourite moment was my speech,’
explained Martin. ‘I enjoyed telling
Lorna just how gorgeous she was and,
thankfully, the whole speech went down
well with the guests, which was a relief !’
Your photographer…
The couple both agreed that their
photographer, Becky was fantastic,
“She was so polite and courteous
but made sure she got a great set of
photos, without being too intrusive.”
