Pastel Pinks at Tankardstown House: Sorcha & Ross
Starting off our Saturday Selection with a bang, our real wedding couple Sorcha and Ross infused a sunset colour palette into their special day. Eye-catching shades of vibrant pinks, peaches and oranges were woven throughout the couple’s charming Tankardstown House celebration, from the bubblegum bridesmaid dresses to the pastel rose and carnation floral arrangements.
Surrounded by 50 guests, the couple’s family-focused wedding featured their adorable sons Jamie and Casey, with groom Ross having popped the question while the couple were decorating the Christmas tree with their eldest in 2020. Celebrating being together for a decade this year, the pair’s paths first crossed while they were in play school believe it or not. Talk about meant to be. Wanting to create a warm and personal atmosphere on their wedding day, Niamh Smith of The Photography Hub was there to capture Sorcha and Ross’ picture-perfect special day.
Joy-Filled Celebration in Dublin City: Éile & Mark
Featuring a glorious mini wedding dress and a fantastic pair of glittering boots, Éile and Mark exchanged vows in Dublin City Hall. Filled with love and laughter, the couple’s glorious city celebration included bridesmaid dressed in chic black and a golden hour walk through St Stephen’s Green.
Taking place during St. Patrick’s Day weekend, the couple’s wedding day included a touch of green through Éile’s velvet emerald clutch and a quick pitstop at the pub for an obligatory pint of Guinness. Wonderfully captured by Robbie M Weddings, Éile and Mark’s March celebration is laden with plenty of city wedding inspiration!
Dawn & Colin’s Fabulous Two-Part Celebration
Against the magnificent backdrop of Belfast City Hall, Dawn and Colin tied the knot surrounded by their immediate family ahead of their September wedding reception. Galway-born Colin and Dawn, who originally hails from Co. Armagh, met in Australia in 2009, and the couple have been together for 14 years.
Sharing their July special day with their adorable sons Jake, who is 7 and 4-year-old Alex, Dawn and Colin’s stylish wedding ceremony included a sweet sand ritual. Taking to the city for their fabulous wedding portraits, the couple, alongside their photographer Hannah McKeown Photography, stopped off at the Duke of York for pints and the iconic Belfast umbrella street. The newlyweds’ evening finished with prosecco and dinner at Ten Square Hotel.
Sunflowers, Rainbows & Drag: Jennifer & Roisin
Real wedding couple Jennifer and Roisin exchanged vows on a sun-soaked June day at the historic Tinakilly Country House Hotel. Wonderfully colourful and filled with plenty of character, the couple’s charming celebration featured a nod to Roisin’s Scottish heritage with the bridesmen in kilts and a bagpiper leading the way at the ceremony. Rainbow pride details and bright yellow sunflowers, which are Jennifer’s favourite flower, wove their way throughout the venue’s chic décor adding a pop of vibrant colour.
