The Story of Helen and Sam
The romance between Sam and Helen took root in 2019, ignited by their time living in the same town. During this period, Sam was finalizing the sale of his house and preparing for a move a few hours away. However, just as he was on the verge of making the move, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, leading to a nationwide lockdown. Suddenly faced with unexpected circumstances, the couple had to make a pivotal decision about their future together. Despite having known each other for only a short time, Sam and Helen chose to take a leap of faith and move in together. This decision marked a significant turning point in their relationship. The extended time they spent together allowed them to deepen their connection, and from that point on, they never looked back.
A month into their relationship, Helen had a holiday planned with friends in Ibiza. Coincidentally, Sam also had friends on the island so they decided on an impromptu trip together before meeting with their friends. On their final evening there, they savored the sunset before Sam left for the airport. As he drove away, she knew she didn't want to spend a moment apart from him for long—a realization that solidified in her mind that he was truly 'The One'.
From Dinner to Forever
Sam suggested a brief getaway to Ibiza. Surprisingly eager to book a "nice dinner," Sam arranged for them to dine at a stunning restaurant overlooking the enchanting island of Es Vedra. As the sun set over the sea, they stood for what Helen believed was a sunset photo. In that breathtaking moment, Sam kneeled on one knee and popped the big question.
A Secluded Wedding Under the Ibiza Sun
Sam and Helen celebrated their wedding at Can Gall, a cherished family-owned venue in the serene northern reaches of Ibiza. This locale held deep significance, having been the backdrop of their first holiday together and their engagement. Seeking a venue that offered accommodations for their guests and a setting where they could spend an entire wedding weekend, they were captivated the moment they laid eyes on Can Gall. Its secluded location amidst nature provided an idyllic outdoor space for a relaxed and joyous celebration under the Ibiza sun. The attentive staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail of their dream wedding came to life, embodying a vision of relaxed elegance that complemented the venue's natural beauty perfectly.
Sam and Helen advise every couple to savor each moment of wedding planning and to avoid worrying about minor details. On the wedding day itself, they suggest stealing quiet moments with one's partner to pause, observe, and completely absorb the celebration, as the day passes by so quickly.
The Comfort of Clo
Helen's journey to finding her perfect wedding dress began with the Clo gown, the first dress she saved to her Pinterest board following their engagement. Before discovering our London bridal boutique, she had explored other stores but felt that none quite captured her vision. Helen’s bridal experience transformed when she visited our boutique with her mother and sister. The moment she slipped into the Clo gown, everything fell into place. “I felt amazing in it, and it was the perfect combination of elegance and comfort, allowing me to dance all night long,” the bride reminisces.
