Irish Wedding
DIARY
Winter
2018
Welcome
Hello everyone and welcome once again to another issue of Ireland’s
best-loved and top-selling bridal magazine. We’ve had a hectic few
months topped off with our usual September visit to the Wedding
& Honeymoon Show in the RDS which as always was a magnificent
success. Well done again to Terry Burns and all at Wed.ie for
organising such a fabulous show.
As winter approaches, the long evenings are prefect for wedding planning
and we have a bumper issue of Irish Wedding Diary to help you plan your perfect
day. Whether you’re finalising the last minute details or just setting out on your wedding
journey, for all you 2019 brides-to-be who thought they had lots of time to plan, well it’s starting
to get close now so you should be finalising your arrangements. For those recently engaged and
just setting out on your wedding journey you’ve more time to peruse this issue at your leisure.
Either way we’ve got something inside this issue just for you.
If you’re looking for that dream dress we have an exclusive preview of some of the 2019 wedding
dress collections from the top international bridal design brands. Over 20 pages we feature some
of the best creations that will available in Ireland from a bridal boutique near you in the next few
weeks. Finding your dream wedding dress really does start here.
This issue we also look at a few quirky ideas to make your wedding different, and we take a
look at the new rules for weddings and a guide to the perfect winter wedding theme. We’ve got
plenty of ideas for your gift registry list plus a lovely idea for a personal gift for your partner with
a boudoir photoshoot. We also have competitions where you can win gift vouchers for Peter Mark
and Fields Jewellers, plus weekends away in two great hotels.
Honeymoons are the one part of the wedding which is truly just about the couple and with that
in mind we have put together a great selection of honeymoon ideas for you to dream about. If
you’re planning a wedding abroad you’ll find plenty of ideas for the dream destination wedding.
