From First Spark to “I Do”: A Valentine’s Day Fairytale at Lillibrooke
At Lillibrooke Manor & Barns, we’re privileged to witness love stories unfold in the most heartfelt and unforgettable ways. Lauren and Steve’s celebration was no exception — a Valentine’s Day wedding filled with elegance, emotion and the kind of romance that lingers long after the last dance. From their first spark at a family gathering to the moment they walked back down the aisle as husband and wife, their day was a beautiful reflection of who they are together. We’re delighted to share a glimpse into their story, their style and the moments that made their wedding truly theirs.
Tell us about your story
Lauren met Steve at his godson’s birthday party, and thanks to some clever matchmaking by their friends, sparks flew — and the rest was history.

What essential details did you have in mind for your wedding day, including colour schemes, personal touches and running order?
As our special day fell on Valentine’s Day, we wanted our colour palette to feel romantic yet refined. From delicate blush pinks to rich, deep burgundy tones, we chose a spectrum that captured both softness and sophistication — a timeless reflection of love in its most elegant form.

Every love story is beautiful but ours is my favourite.
