An Irish theme wedding is a fun one and that is for sure. There should be lots of lively dancing and singing, too. With an Irish wedding song replayed during the reception you can have the guests sing a long. There should be lots of great food and drink, too. Be sure to include some Irish food in the menu, too. You want your guests to feel that there is plenty to go around and that they will feel pampered while they are celebrating.
To carry the Irish theme throughout the reception have decorations in green. Have green bows and ribbons tied to the backs of the chairs and centerpieces of green tinted carnations are a good idea. For wedding favors you can have lucky charms, candlestick holders, vases with green flowers in them or another interesting favor. For a whole list of great favor ideas you can search online.
Be sure you include Irish wedding rings to carry the theme through the wedding day. You will want to have green ribbons on the ring pillow when the bride and groom exchange the Irish wedding rings. The flower girl can have a green dress on and green ribbons in her hair.
The wedding dress should still be white, but the bide can have green beads or sequins sewn to it to enhance the dress and give it the Irish feel. The groom will want to wear a white or black tux with a green kerchief in the front pocket. The bride and groom will look strikingly sharp and have the Irish flare to them.
When you are planning your Irish theme wedding you may be overwhelmed. If you can afford one, a bridal consultant is a good idea. They will take over the planning and you won’t have to worry about the details. You can ask friends, family or other associates who they have used or you can find a bridal consultant in the yellow pages or online. Make sure they have good references and keep in close contact with them so they know what you want. They must know what it is you want and then they can take over from there. So always let them know how to contact you and make sure they can get a hold of you, too.
The guests will love attending an Irish theme wedding. They are fun and enjoyable times. You should have a good photographer so that they get lots of pictures of the day and evening. Be sure there are lots of toasts so that others can wish the bride and groom good luck. As mentioned before, there should be plenty of food and drink to go around. It will be a fantastic celebration.
