Being able to spend several days with good friends and family made the whole experience so much more memorable. To me a wedding day is about strengthening not just the bond between you and your love but also between your friends and family as you all come together to celebrate real love. My favorite memory of the day was right after the ceremony we just went off on our own with the photographer and explored the ancient streets of Mdina. The light was soft and the walls were golden and it was just so romantic to spend time together soaking in the moment.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Wedding color palette:<\/b> <i> Ivory, lavender and rose. <\/i><\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/june2010\/malta-real-wedding-photos-fresh-in-love-photography-3.jpg\" alt=\"Mdina, Malta wedding at The Villa Brasserie, photos by Melissa O'Connell of Fresh In Love Photography\" title=\"Mdina, Malta wedding at The Villa Brasserie, photos by Melissa O'Connell of Fresh In Love Photography\" border=\"0\"> <\/p>\n<p><b>The Wedding Team: <\/b><\/p>\n<p> Photographer: Melissa O&rsquo;Connell &ndash; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freshinlove.com\/%20%20%20%20\" target=\"_blank\" mce_href=\"http:\/\/www.freshinlove.com\/ \">Fresh In Love Photography <\/a><br>Event Planner &amp; Florist: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weddingplannermalta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" mce_href=\"http:\/\/www.weddingplannermalta.com\/\">Weddings by Sarah Young <\/a><br>Ceremony Venue: St Paul Cathedral, Mdina, Malta <br>Reception Venue: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thevillamalta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" mce_href=\"http:\/\/www.thevillamalta.com\/\">The Villa Brasserie<\/a> &ndash; Mdina, Malta <br>Invitation Designer: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" mce_href=\"http:\/\/www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk\/\">Wedding Invitation Shop<\/a> &ndash; London <br>Catering &amp; Cake: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thevillamalta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Villa Brasserie<\/a><br>Wedding dress: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verawang.com\/wedding\/bridal-collections\/\" target=\"_blank\" mce_href=\"http:\/\/www.verawang.com\/wedding\/bridal-collections\/\">Vera Wang <\/a><br>Bridal Accessories: Shoes by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.miumiu.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" mce_href=\"http:\/\/www.miumiu.com\/\">Miu Miu<\/a><br>Bridesmaids Apparel and Accessories: bespoke by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apsleytailors.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" mce_href=\"http:\/\/www.apsleytailors.com\/\">Apsley Tailors<\/a> &ndash; London <br>Makeup: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shomya.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" mce_href=\"http:\/\/www.shomya.com\/\">ShoMya<\/a><br>Hair Stylist: Charlotte Mensa from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hairlounge.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" mce_href=\"http:\/\/www.hairlounge.co.uk\/\">Hair Lounge<\/a> <br>Wedding Favors: rose and lavender cashmere shawls <br>Rings: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tiffany.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" mce_href=\"http:\/\/www.tiffany.com\/\">Tiffany &amp; Co. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much Viva and Chike!
