My Wedding Day with Heidi Higgins: I’m a fashion designer but I didn’t design my wedding dress

I love hosting parties in general; there’s always something happening at our house, so the wedding was exactly what I wanted. I wouldn’t change it for the world

Heidi Higgins: "Because I was a fashion designer, most people would have thought I’d make my own wedding dress but strange as it sounds, wedding dresses weren’t my thing, and actually I find it really hard to design in white."

We got married on July 18, 2014. We had the reception at the Lyrath Estate Hotel in Kilkenny. I’m from Laois, and my husband is from Tipperary, and we met in the Left Bank in Kilkenny. 

We used to go out a lot in Kilkenny because it was probably the closest city life really to both of us. So when we were choosing a location for our wedding, it made sense to return to Kilkenny.
