Star of the Sea

On 29th May 2010, Aisling and Albert were married in the Star of the Sea Church in Sandymount, followed by a reception in the gorgeous Brooklodge Hotel. It was the final wedding of my crazy weekend, 3 weddings in 2 days with no Lorraine (who was busy enjoying the last day of her holidays in Peurto Rico!)

Aisling and her mum first met with me back in Autumn 2009 and we had our meeting with a cup of tea at my kitchen table! The one request Aisling had was that Lily of the Valley featured in her own bouquet. So, from there we decided on the bridal bouquet of white roses, heavenly scented lily of the valley and delicate mini white calla lillies.

The three bridesmaids carried simple posies of white calla lillies finished with ivory organza and the 3 flowergirls carried posies of white hydrangea and purple freesia.

Aisling and her mum fell in love with the idea of using blue Hydrangea in the church decor, and we designed 4 pedestal arrangements, 2 larger arrangement for the base of the aisle, 2 medium for the Rear alter using hydrangea and delphinium and and an arrangement for the alter into which we placed the unity candles (supplied by Theresa Kelly and now available through RosieDays).

The pew ends were dressed simply with a large Hydrangea bloom, alternating white and blue and finally, 2 bay trees guarded the front entrance.

Purple Reign

We had 2 weddings on the 23rd December 2009, Lorraine elected to do the drive to Longford with Alma’s Bouquets in the snow and had a few hairy moments on the drive down, luckily, the bouquets arrived unharmed and we had another happy bride!

Alma chose white roses with hints of purple for her own bouquet, we used avalanche roses and gorgeous deep purple freesia for accent, finished with soft ruscus collar and ivory satin ribbon. The bridesmaids carried simple posies of white roses, finished with purple satin ribbon.

The unity arrangement was created using soft and hard ruscus, spruce foliage, phoneix palm leaves, white roses and purple freesia and all of these were mirrored in the central arrangements of the 2 Large Candelabra.

Simple pew-end decoration (not shown) of spruce foliage, with white roses and gypsophila graced the end of every 2nd pew in the country church.
