It definitely proved to be the wedding-of-the-year.
Suzanne Jackson married Dylan O’Connor on Saturday in Skerries – before kicking off the reception at the five-star Powerscourt Hotel in Enniskerry.
The 32-year-old blogger’s incredible gown was custom-designed by Hayley Paige and sourced via Donegal’s well-known McElhinney’s Bridal Rooms.
It was described as having “a luxurious lace detail bodice, hand-stitched pearls and full organza skirt,” and certainly it was a totally princess-worth gúna.
And now, a sneak-peak snap from the reception reveals that Suzanne changed out of her dress for drinks and dancing once dinner had concluded.
Ceira Lambert, a well-known celebrity hairdresser, shared a stunning early-morning photo of her and Ms Jackson on Instagramwhich showed a glimpse of dress No.2.
Suzanne had at this stage removed her dramatic veil; the new gown had a plunge neck and plenty of sequin and beading. There was also sheer white detail to the sides.
Certainly, it looks to also be by Hayley Paige, the California-native who is making waves in bridal fashion circles. It’s likely that the dress is custom-designed especially for Suzanne.
A guest who attended the wedding exclusively told Her: “Sue’s second gown was a lot more understated than her first.
“It was a sleeveless number with beautiful sparkly elements and plenty of embroidery.
“It was really fitted, but had a lovely fish-tail train on it and a key-hole under the bustline. Truthfully, it was the kind of dress that a lot of brides would be delighted to wear as their main and only gown.”
A second glimpse of the dress was posted on Sunday by popular MUA Ann-Marie Carey Judd. The snap shows her posing up alongside MRS Makeup as well as the fabulous bride herself.
For their Big Day, the ballroom at Powerscourt was magnificently dressed up with the couple’s monogram – an intertwined S and D in black on a white background.
After dinner the main entertainment, The Firm, took the stage, followed by a solo sax player who mixed with revellers on the dance-floor.
Michelle Regazzoli Stone, who didn’t go to bed until 6am on Sunday, described the wedding as “one of the best” she’d ever been to.
Sue and Dylan got engaged in the Maldives in early 2016 and have been together for eight years. They run Ms Jackson’s hugely successful blog and spin-off cosmetic and beauty lines.
They have signed an exclusive deal with VIP magazine – which means we’ll have to wait for a proper look at her second dress.
