If filling your week with beautiful real weddings wasn't enough we want to fill your Saturday with them too! We know you all just love a real wedding just as much as we do, so sit down with a cuppa (or glass of vino!) and take a look at this week's Saturday Selection featuring sneak peeks from four stunning couples and four Beautiful Irish Real Weddings from both town and country including celebrations at Hotel Doolin, The Morrison, Summerhill House and Bellurgan Park. Enjoy!
Love and Family at Hotel Doolin
Patricia and Andrew celebrated their marriage with an intimate church ceremony, followed by a beautiful reception with their nearest and dearest at Hotel Doolin. Meeting first as friends in college, they met again when travelling in Asia and the rest as they say is history! The day was very much a family affair, Patricia’s mother made her beautiful bespoke wedding dress, her sister/bridesmaid created the floral embellishments and bouquets and the wedding favours were mini pots of honey from her uncle’s bees! All the lovely details were captured by Gary Collins Photography and you can see their day on his website.
City Chic Celebrations at The Morrison
Cara and David said their I do's in a beautiful and moving ceremony at Dublin's City Hall followed by lots of fun and frolics at their reception at The Morrison Hotel. Their wedding day was full of personal touches and a few (happy!) tears. The couple put lots of effort into their big day making lots of gorgeous bits and bobs to decorate their venue. Cara shone like a star in her House of Delphine gown and Dave and the boys all wore kilts, to remember and honour Cara's Scottish dad. All the memories were captured by Juliana Scodeler Photography. For more, check out their entire wedding day.
A Vintage Love Story at Summerhill House
Kevin and Gemma tied the knot in St.Patrick's Church in the picturesque village of Enniskerry in Co.Wicklow, followed by a reception in the Summerhill House Hotel. Their reception had a vintage twist with VW Camper vans, china tea-cups as place names and even personally recommended cocktails from the bride and groom. It was a beautiful day filled with family and friends, and not forgetting their teddy-bear 'Legs' who took pride of place beside the wedding cake before joining the band and sitting on the drums later that evening to watch the dancing! Francis Meaney was on hand to capture all the serene moments and you can see their entire day on the photographer's site.
A Glam and Intimate Affair at Bellurgan Park
Jennifer & Julian had a beautiful and intimate wedding celebration at Bellurgan Park, an amazing 18th century estate in Dundalk Co.Louth in front of a small group of their closest friends and family. They tied the knot (literally!) in a very moving hand fasting ceremony and their love for travel and toys could be seen throughout their day, from the table styling, decor and cake toppers at their fun-filled reception. Check out their day in full by photographer Chris Copeland.
