Competition Time AGAIN





it may be quite obvious that the Christmas season has driven us a
bit mad & led us to give away oodles of things so here goes....

we are exhibiting at The Wedding journal Show in citywest january 14th,15th & 16th and we've decided that the first five couples to register their wedding with us will receive €250 worth of free wedding decor to start the ball rolling.

the wedding registry allows an alternative for couples who would like cash gifts but don't want to be so brazen.

your guests can call us with your registration number & their gift will be added to your decor account with us, allowing you to decorate to your hearts content using your guests gifts as funding!

easy peesey...

so come find us on stand j10 at the wedding journal show & register your wedding with us, you might just win €250!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

roaring red weddings

red is the central theme of weddings in the Chinese traditions. it signifies love,joy & prosperity.

in the western world red can be described as the colour of love... & it being February love is the name of the game.

although its quite a contrast to white/ivory red+weddings=stunning

here are some little elements for a splash of colour

black wedding cars exude style, elegance & timelessness.

Vintage cars make a huge statement for your wedding

ok down to the serious business2

for centuries black has been associated with male wedding attire & 'the black suit' has become synonymous with grooms-wear.

a brightly coloured shirt or tie will contrast well with the strong coloured jacket &/or trousers

a new beginning...


not to start the year off on a dark note but we've chosen black as the colour for our January posts.
black has always been a prominent wedding colour.

black indicates formal & sophisticated. it is a colour that never goes out of fashion. black is a great choice for weddings as it stands out wonderfully in photographs.

an indicator of just how popular black is at the moment is the black wedding dress, a matter of controversy in the wedding business.

is black really the new black when it comes to weddings?

we're normally not the number crunching type but after hearing some CSO stats we decided we'd give you the info on weddigns in Ireland in 2010.

surprisingly weddings are one of the few things that dont suffer from the wrath of an economic downturn.

in fact there were 3381 weddings in the first 3months of 2010, thats 56% higher than the same months of 2001, when everybody was still spending money like it was going out of fashion.

end of random wedding facts
