Lucy Williams shares intimate photos of her chic celebration in Andros with Vogue.
I found the first month or so of being engaged a really stressful time. Everyone is dying to know where, how and when you’re going to get married and I had no clue. I’d definitely thought about what I didn’t want mywant it to be like. Thankfully, we had a two-week trip to the Greek island of Andros planned where we could step away from the questions and external pressure , for some blissed-out solitude and copious amounts of feta.
And so it came to pass: a year later almost to the day, Ruaraidh and I celebrated our wedding in Andros, introducing just over 100 of our friends and family to one of our favourite places. My family never did Mediterranean holidays growing up , and I loved the idea of all our family being on a Greek island in the run up to the big day. In fact, a lot of our guests turned it into a longer trip, spending time in Athens or on other islands before or after the wedding.
I think when you work in fashion, there can be a lot of well-meaning pressure when it comes to what you’re going to wear to your wedding, so maybe subconsciously going super simple and minimal felt like my safety blanket from all of that.
I changed into a bespoke 16Arlington halter-neck dress for the dinner, which was probably my favourite dress of the night. I love how simple it is, but the diagonal panels and cut-outs on the skirt made it feel really elevated and a bit different. After the dinner and speeches – which had us all in stitches and crying – we served espresso martinis and palomas and had our first dance to Cheryl Lynn’s “Got To Be Real”.
