RDS Bride of the Year Show - Venues

RDS Bride of the Year Show - Venues
If you're planning on getting married in Ireland, then fear not - as there are many venues available to suit a wide range of needs. With it's natural beauty, Ireland offers a range of beautiful celtic venues, near the capital Dublin or in the countryside in a pretty location. A castle about 1 hour from the capital or near the picturesque west coast near a large Airport allows for Irish as well as overseas couples coming to Ireland.

Irish Hotels


Half the Irish hotels specialise in bridal, but undoubtedly the castles and hotels with character and beautiful scenery win out. With the ultimate wedding destination being Ashford Castle, in the village of Cong, Co. Mayo - where Rory McIlory got married.


For more information visit www.ashfordcastle.com. A fine alternative but on the lower end of the budget spectrum would be cheaper castles in the middle of Ireland like Kilronnan, Co Roscommon.


Pretty Locations near Dublin


Near the seaside, south of Dublin is Kilkenny Castle and the Royal Marine to North Dublin’s Malahide is the Grand Hotel. Then there are many suitable castles and country houses within an hour west of Dublin Airport and the city centre hosting many wedding possibilities and event management skills.


Overseas


Overseas weddings in Spain, Italy and Portugal allows for quaranteed sunshine although guests have to travel. Althernatively, centres like Vegas promise weather , non fuss , and can be seen as a cheaper option.

For a winter wedding...


 

We are so in love with Jenny Packham at the moment for the stunning use of embellishment. For a winter wedding, the added glistening and heavy embroidery is ideal. Although there are more simple gowns available which would look beautiful styled with some faux fur and her exquisite jewellery designs.

For those intimate occasions, it's perfect to go for something a little more understated, but still elegant and show-stopping. Vera Wang,offer a fabulous collection of simple yet chic dresses that will do just the job. The designer also has more intricate and bold designs if that is what you are looking for.
