North County Dublin Wedding Showcase 2015
Imagine planning your wedding in beautiful surroundings, using the finest wedding suppliers the industry has to offer. The best part; it’s all right on your doorstep at the North County Dublin Wedding Showcase in Ardgillan Castle, Balbriggan, on November 8th., 12-4pm. Couples can plan their entire wedding at the showcase, from a ceremony at the castle followed by afternoon tea or a champagne reception with suppliers such as Frilly Frocks, Wisteria flowers, The Parlour Press and For Heaven’s Cake the list reads like a ‘who’s who’ of the wedding industry with many suppliers having won several national & international awards for their work. All exhibitors are small independent companies from the local area and have been handpicked for their commitment to excellence and personal service. In addition to the suppliers listed, there will also be music, venue décor, photobooth and giant marquee letters to rent from the fabulous Lovin’ Letters to add that WOW factor to your day!
This is the fifth year of the wildly successful Wedding Showcase, with past events being held in the local award-winning photo studio owned by event creator and co-host Denise Cannon of DesignWorks Photography. Denise wanted to showcase all that the local area has to offer in world class wedding suppliers and to encourage couples to ‘shop local’ when it comes to their wedding. Past event have seen brides travel from afar to attend, with one bride flying in from Belgium to avoid missing out! Last year, top honeymoon specialist Andre Bedford of Travel Counsellors came on board and has loaned her legendary organisational skills to help grow the event.
Some of the suppliers got together to showcase their talent in a luxurious Autumnal inspiration shoot at the castle. The moody jewel tones of the season and the stunning surrounds were the starting point for creating a look, which was heavily influenced by Martin Scorsese’s The Age of Innocence with its opulent details and dark glamour.
There is a fantastic giveaway on the day as well as digital wedding planning magazine completely free for all who attend.
