Helen wore a stunning Vera Wang gown. Gypsy Westwood their photographer was there to capture all the FAB details of the day, she tells us a bit more about their special day…
Emma and Alex Married at beautiful Hilltop Boutique Hotel Can Talaias, paradise in the early Ibiza summer sunshine. Their inspiration for the the day was effortless eclectic chic style. Emma collected vintage glass jars and channel perfume bottles which were stuffed with Vanda orchids, wild flowers and peonies, hot bright colours against the Mediterranean blue backdrop. Emma Stunned in her amazing Vera Wang dress and held a bouquet of equally stunning blooms. Her bridesmaids were dressed in Two Bird nude colours and each held a bouquet of different flowers, chosen specifically by Emma… as she knew each friends different style. Guest dined on Mediterranean tapas followed by orange blossom cheesecake served on hand made vintage cake stands filled with rose, raspberry and mascarpone macaroons… made at 6am the wedding morning specially for the occassion by Vickki from Eat Ibiza, for her no detail is too much trouble.

Some sunshine to brighten up your day… I’m thrilled to be bring you Helen & Ruben’s white Ibiza beach wedding. Helen and Ruben met through friends, Chris Bovill and John Allison. We probably knew that we were destined to be together on our first date when we gatecrashed a party in Soho Square by climbing over the wrought iron fence. It was a good party and definitely worth the ladder in my tights.
They were married in a beautifully relaxed waterside ceremony at Cap de Falco, Ibiza in June, 2011. Helen wore this stunning Jenny Packham gown..
and her wonderfully elegant shoes are from Emmy…

I was super excited when these photographs arrived in my inbox! The first of three engagement shoots which were won by our readers… the very talented Ana Lui very kindly offered free engagement shoots to three lucky readers at a location of their choice in Ibiza.
Tamarin and Peter are planning their wedding in Ibiza for June 2012 and travelled over to Ibiza recently for a wedding planning trip to meet their suppliers and also chose to meet up with Ana for their shoot.
I really love these images, Tamarin and Peter look like they had great fun on the shoot. They even braved the sea at the end of their shoot, I’m sure the waters were very chilly this time of year!
The photo shoot was great, Ana is excellent at putting you at ease. I was really worried about having ‘natural’ photos taken, I am usually the ultimate poser in photos, and was worried about all the bits I don’t like about myself being on show. Luckily Ana is so brilliant at capturing emotion and at making you feel beautiful! I am so happy with the photos her general direction was really useful but being able to play around and be ourselves was so much fun!

Can you tell us a little about yourself and what you offer?
Before moving to Ibiza over five years ago I had a successful career in London, working for private clients, as a session stylist and winning awards for my work. For weddings I offer a full hair and make-up bridal service and work with the best therapists/nail technicians should you want to have a little extra pampering.
Where are you based and what cities/countries are you available to for work in?

“James and Brodie first met in Perth through friends in 2002. After only being together for 6 months Brodie got a job offer in Sydney, and James said he wanted to move in with her. After spending 5 years in Sydney they both decided to move to London. Travelling has always been a big part of their relationship, they love exploring new places together. Brodie and James visited Spain for a short holiday and fell in love with Ibiza.”
“They visited Ibiza again the following year when James decided to propose on the first day of their holiday while swimming and sunbathing on one of their favorite beaches. James dropped down on one knee right there in the baby blue Ibiza sea he asked Brodie to marry him. On the same day they went out for dinner to Sa Punta Restaurant. They loved it so much they decided to hold their wedding ceremony and dinner there! “
