The Best Month for your Irish Wedding

30/1/2023

 

Ireland is known for its stunning scenery and beautiful weather, creating stunning wedding backdrops. There's no right or wrong time to get married in Ireland—it all depends on what you want out of your big day!

In this blog post, we will discuss what each season has to offer you as you plan your uniquely beautiful Irish wedding.

Every Month Has its Own Beauty

Every month has its own beauty, and every season is unique in its own way. When choosing the best month to get married in Ireland, you'll want to consider the weather. Summer is great because it's warm and sunny—but it can also be hot, windy, and rainy.

 Spring may seem like a good choice because of all the beautiful blooms that are available at this time—but then again, spring can also bring lots of rainstorms! Fall is another popular choice because of how colourful everything turns during autumn—but there will likely be some chilly days as well! 

Finally, winter offers romance on a cold night when no one else wants to brave the elements but two people who love each other dearly. 

Let's dive deeper into each season; as we do, imagine your wedding taking place there.

Winter Can Be Cold

Winter can be cold and unpredictable, but it's still a beautiful time of year to get married in Ireland. The weather can be unpredictable, but the scenery is stunning, and the Christmas season is approaching!

If a snowy winter wonderland is something you've envisioned for your wedding, then winter is perfect.

Spring Is Full of Blooms

Spring is a great time to get married. If you want to be outdoors, spring is the best time to do it. The weather will be mild and sunny, so you won't have any worries about rain or too much sun on your big day, and you'll have fresh blooms everywhere.

Summer, Especially August, is Popular
August is the most popular month for a wedding in Ireland, and rightly so. It's the first time temperatures have started to rise, meaning that the summer months are also the most expensive time of year to get married in Ireland.

Autumn Weddings Can Be Gorgeous

Autumn makes for beautiful weddings. The warm colours and textures of the season pair perfectly with the fall colours we have in Ireland, making it ideal for an intimate wedding. Plus, if you're looking to get married on the weekend, there's no better time than October to score nice weather!

​Making Your Choice

Choosing the best month for your wedding depends on your priorities, your guests and what you dream of for your special day!

It would help if you chose the month that is best for you and your guests. Try to avoid holding it during major travel times like holidays or school breaks. If none of these are an issue and you want to take advantage of warmer weather in Ireland, then May-August might be ideal!

 We hope our guide has helped you decide whether you want to tie the knot in winter, spring, summer, or autumn in stunning Ireland!

Planning a Wedding in Dublin

26/1/2023

 
Planning a Wedding in Dublin

Planning a wedding can be stressful, especially if you are planning a destination wedding to Dublin from anywhere in Ireland or from another country, but it doesn't have to be. Here's everything you need to know to plan your perfect Irish wedding in stunning Dublin.

Choosing the Best Season to Get Married

If you're planning an outdoor wedding, there are a couple of things to consider in terms of weather. The best months for outdoor weddings are May through September, but these can be costly.

Don't be afraid to go off-season for your Dublin wedding. During the off-season, venues are more likely to offer deals and discounts on certain days or times because they have less demand for their services -- which means you pay less for them! Some venues will also offer off-season packages that include discounted food or drink options and other perks for your guests.

Adopt Some (or all) of the Irish Wedding Traditions!

Irish weddings are full of meaning and tradition. Whether you're a local to this stunning country or visiting for a destination wedding, consider adopting some of the following traditions into your special day.

Incorporating Irish symbols like the Celtic knot, crosses, or shamrocks into your wedding look.
Have Irish lace on your wedding dress
Have your groom wear a kilt
Incorporate something blue into your wedding
Include some lucky symbols as part of your festivities, like a horseshoe!
Handfasting during your ceremony
Claddagh rings
The ringing of wedding bells
Have Irish dancers perform

There are so many more unique Irish traditions that you could incorporate. Pick what means the most to you, and remember to have fun with it!

Choose Your Venue Carefully

There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing your venue. We'll start with the location and what it has to offer. The following questions will help you decide if a particular place is suitable for your needs:

Is the venue easy to get to? 
Are there any restrictions on parking? What are the costs?
Is there disabled access? This is particularly important if you have elderly guests coming along or anyone who has mobility issues.
What is included in the cost of the venue?

Four Seasons Hotel Dublin at Powerscourt Estate - Wicklow Mountains

These venues offer breathtaking views of the landscape that surround them – not to mention their excellent service!

Hiring Dublin-Based Vendors for Your Wedding

One of the best things you can do when planning a wedding in an area that you aren't familiar with is to hire local vendors. Check on bridal forums and blogs to see what other brides are saying about vendors in Dublin. ​
