It’s the end of August. School supplies await in marked bags, lined up from youngest to oldest. A pink flamingo velvet backpack in soon-to-be-not mint condition hangs in between an appallingly obnoxious sequence unicorn backpack and noble blue Jansport. The weather is starting its war: warm, bright sunny days try to hold on against the increasing […]

Brian and Kimberley’s elopement to Ireland is exactly what we’re talking about when we say Ireland is a really special place that will truly embrace you and make your entire wedding experience one you’ll never forget. Besides the incredible scenery and breathtaking backdrops, one distinguishable factor is the people. “We did not have a first […]

It’s been a couple of days since the legendary Royal Wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and we at Waterlily Weddings are still reeling from excitement and awe at all of the glorious details. The picturesque town of Windsor with its incredible Castle served as impossibly perfect backdrop to this (quite literal) fairytale.  […]

Geode is one of those trends that blew in out […]

This week we’re continuing with Katie and Dan’s gorgeous wedding in Part 2: Luttrellstown Castle reception!  Their beautiful, simple ceremony was held in Kilruddery House & Gardens’ orangery room (see here for the post!). The natural light just poured through and cast an almost ethereal glow to the atmosphere that made for some stunning pictures […]

Far and away the biggest wedding Waterlily Weddings had the pleasure of planning and producing in 2017 was Katie and Dan’s incredible dream destination wedding in Ireland. And when we say “dream” we literally mean it was a “dream come true;”  expertly navigating through some of eastern Ireland’s most iconic venues and areas, Katie and […]

  As wedding planners we have the privilege to support our clients as they begin their new life together. It’s a responsibility and gift all of us take very seriously, and we cannot speak truer words when we say that we live for that moment when they both say “I do” and cherish it with […]

Ireland without question is the most breathtaking place to host your dream destination wedding. The expansive natural beauty throughout the island is so romantic and gives a sense of adventure and grandeur that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.
