I went to Ireland's first Alternative Wedding Event at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin yesterday. I got to meet lots of talented Irish wedding suppliers, met up with my Twitter friends, and took loads of photographs. Above, are photos from a sneak peek of a blog post on the event. And have a look at an Irish wedding blog that just featured some of my photographs in a post about the Event. Wedding High 
 

decorating the pews for your church ceremony in ireland...

Since many Irish wedding ceremonies take place in a church, some thought needs to be put into the pew decorations. You can do these yourself with ribbons, or a few sprigs of baby's breath or flowers. Or you can have your florist decorate using flowers that compliment your bouquet. Here are some images of pew decorations from weddings that I've photographed. Hopefully they'll provide a bit of inspiration and thought into what you want your church ceremony to look like.
