Alys Holland married Ieuan Matthews at St Mary’s Parish Church
followed by a reception at Coed Y Mwstwr Hotel on 15th April, 2017.
Their day followed a pink, lace and hessian theme.
The day
“We went for a very rustic look with lots of hessian and lace details.
As Ieuan is a carpenter he made our table plan, postbox, jam jar
favours and wooden signs that were placed around the venue. The
bridesmaids wore dusky pink floor-length dresses and the groom and
ushers wore navy suits with matching pink ties. I wore a dress from
the designer Ronald Joyce, I had to have it taken in so many times as
I lost five stone in the run up to our big day,” explains Alys.
Memorable moments
“The most pleasant surprise was that my best friend, who is currently
travelling around Australia for a year, managed to attend. She told me she
was unable to come but three days prior to the wedding she knocked on
my door and I was speechless. Ieuan knew all about it and had ordered her
a bridesmaid dress and informed our make-up artist and hairdresser that
there would be an extra person. We also had our friend play the piano
while the guests arrived at the venue, this was a lovely touch and
everyone enjoyed it,” says Alys.
“The speeches were incredible, I’ll never forget the lovely things that
were said. My uncle had put together a video of the two of us and our story so
far, it was lovely to look back at the last eight years and see our love grow.”
