Maybe you are a couple who have loved planning your destination wedding yourself; for months you have enjoyed creating and planning your dream wedding day. You have poured over options and details, contracted, liaised and confirmed every element, but with a month or two to go you are ready to hand the last steps and […]

Welcome to March! With St. Patrick’s Day coming up in a few weeks, we at Waterlily Weddings thought it’d be fun to go through some notes and separate the fact from fiction on what’s Irish and what’s not. Many pubs in Ireland (and in America) have what are called “quiz nights” — one night a […]
