What made you decide to have a destination wedding? ALISON: We wanted pure luxury, glamour, elegance and an experience for all our loved ones, with it feeling effortless and to surprise them along the way. Quite difficult to achieve, but we both knew Barbados was the place for us. There was no question. Why did you choose Barbados as your destination? IAN: Ali’s grandparents are both from Barbados - her grandfather was a famous boxer here [the UK] in the 50’s called Kid Ralph, so she had that connection. Plus her mum and dad got married here on the island many years ago. So I know it’s special to her. ALISON: Yes very special! I took Ian to Barbados for the first time on his 30th birthday, and actually to The Cliff Restaurant (where their wedding was held) - from then I knew he had also fallen in love with the island. So for us Barbados was the dream destination and wedding. Did you hire a wedding planner, and how did you find your wedding vendors? ALISON: We hired Weddings by Malissa to make our dream wedding come alive. Fortunately, Malissa and her team were formidable - I cannot sing her praises enough. She knew the best people in the business, from the florist (Simply Flowers), photographer (Steve Cumberbatch) to the videographer (Damion Hallet) and everything else in between, any ideas we had Malissa could source the details and make it happen. It was truly an incredible experience for the both of us. What were your challenges in planning your wedding so far from home? ALISON: Sometimes it can be difficult to know what you want, because looking at magazines and TV shows (which I did) can only tell you so much. The hardest thing was letting go of some of the control, because unless you’re on the island, you can’t do a wine and food tasting session or cake tasting - but you have to trust the professionals know what they are doing, and for us it truly exceeded our expectations in every way. They blew our minds. IAN: Yes - that’s one thing the guests keep talking about - how outstanding the food, venue and the overall day was. Like Ali says, truly exceptional. Looking at the stunning photographs from your day, how did you come up with your wedding theme and design? ALISON: We knew The Cliff could speak for itself, so we wanted to complement that.
