Finding The Dress


The most important dress you will probably ever wear, your wedding dress so finding the perfect gown can be a daunting task and for some brides a stressful journey. How do you know when you've found the one, the wedding dress that you will wear up the aisle? I've been asked countless times to recommend bridal boutiques so this week I thought I'd share with you all my top 5 bridal designers.

1) The White Room
The White Room is so popular among a lot of the brides I photograph. They do beautiful and timeless dresses that look absolutely stunning on. I've heard nothing but good things from brides about them. They stock a variety designers such as Caroline Castigliano, Enzoani, Savvannah Miller and many more. They also have great sales which means you could get an amazing dress for a very reasonable price. I've included pictures of one of my gorgeous brides Ali who's wedding I photographed, she got her dress from here and it is just amazing! The White Room is located in Mullingar.






2) De Stafford Bridal

Another gorgeous bridal boutique with a great selection of dresses. De Stafford has been in business for 25 years so they really know what they're doing! I've seen so many beautiful brides wearing dresses from here and I'd definitely recommend popping in if you're on the search for the perfect dress. Two of the pictures I've included below are of Emma, one of my stunning brides who's wedding I photographed a short time ago, she found her dress here and it was just stunning! The team even added some lace and other detail to this dress to make it just perfect for her. De Stafford is located in Dublin city centre.

 




3) Sharon Hoey Bridal

Sharon Hoey is known as one of the best bridal shops in Dublin, they offer every kind of dress you can think of and you won't fail to find something unique and beautiful. They have a Bespoke Collection and carry many lines from different designers. Bridal experts who've been in the wedding industry for over 30 years  Located in Dublin city centre.




4) Myrtle Ivory

Another beautiful bridal shop with a wide variety of dresses to offer. Well known for dressing some of our Irish celebrities over the years. They have a wide variety of different designers so you're guaranteed to find something you'll love. Another popular choice made by the brides I've photographed, always stunning. Located in Dublin city centre.



5) Tamem Michael

Ahhhhh, this would have to be my favourite of course as they designed my own wedding dress for our big day!  They have a wonderful collection of dresses and the staff are so helpful and professional, you'll be in great hands. A family run business with the Queen at the helm, Tamem herself. Its not at all surprising they won Wedding Designer Of The Year 2018! Their dresses are so unique and beautiful you're sure to find one that's perfect for you. Located in Fashion City, Dublin.

 



It's so important to find the right dress for you so make sure that you don't settle for something you don't love. As stressful as some people may find it, wedding dress shopping is also one of the most enjoyable aspects of planning a wedding. It's a great day (or 10) out for you and whoever you decide to bring with you so remember to enjoy every part of it. I would strongly suggest your visit some or all of my suggested boutiques when searching for the perfect dress so make sure to keep them in mind if you're on the look-out! I hope you found this useful and I wish you all the luck in the world finding your perfect dress!
Love, Jenny x

Wedding Hairstyles

Whichever hairstyle you opt for on your big day, the most important thing is to make sure you'll feel comfortable with your hair all day long. So if you usually wear your hair down and feel uncomfortable wearing it up, your wedding day is not the day to experiment! No matter how stunning your hair is when its done if you're not comfortable it's no good to you. I would suggest you do what feels natural to you and also think about what will last throughout the day. You should definitely have a trial or two leading up to the big day this way you will leave nothing to chance. I'm going to share some bridal and bridesmaids hairstyles that I think you'll love. A soft  wave is always popular and looks so elegant. However, if you're hair doesn't hold a curl that well, some hair stylists will advise clip in hair pieces. These hold a curl no problem and will fix onto your hair without anyone noticing. You could also add a diamond pin or a flower pin to enhance you...

Christmas Gift Ideas

Christmas is fast approaching and it can be hard to pick the perfect   gift, so this week I thought I'd share a few of my favourite products from this year that would make a great gift for the special people in your life. Enjoy! Xx 1) Chupi I've mentioned Chupi before in a previous post about bridesmaids gifts and I have to say I just love the jewellery from her. It is so stunning and makes for the perfect gift, every piece is so special and the packaging is just gorgeous. The special treat for Mums, sisters and partners. Couldn't recommend enough. 2) Nima Nima is an Irish company that sell gorgeous makeup brushes.

Booking your wedding reception venue

So you are engaged and its time to check out some wedding venues to have your reception at. My own advice is to go along to any wedding exhibitions that venues may have scheduled. Get to see the reception room decorated for a wedding, then whittle your final selection down to about 3 venues. While some venues may appeal to you both there are some points that you may not have thought about. Your photographs are all you have left to remember your special day so here are some tips to consider when booking your venue. Does the venue have any locations outside for photographs?  I very often come across wedding venues with little or no outdoor locations for photographs. If this is the case, I always recommend to my couples that they pick a location either near to the church or to the wedding venue for bridal party/family & their couple shots.  A location that means something to the couple can be a lovely idea. Speaking to your photographer in advance of your wedding d...
