Ciara & George wedding

We’re so lucky in the Mrs2Be offices to share so many magical weddings with you throughout the year. We love discovering each unique day and cooing over those quirky little details, oohing at all the mesmerising wedding gowns and laughing out loud at some of the, shall we say, stranger proposals.

Because we love to give and share such these moments, today we have a recap of 15 of our favourite wedding moments and details from 2013. Are your favourite moments in there? There’s only one way to find out!

(Pictured above)

1.  Ciara oozed elegance in her Alice Temperley gown and oh, did we love her Twobirds bridesmaids’ dresses! All round, one stunningly stylish wedding, captured by Emily Doran. Click here to see the full Muckross Park Hotel wedding.

JoAnn and Russells Dublin reception party2. We were insanely jealous of JoAnn and Russell’s jaunt up Grafton street in all their wedding finery! Heavenly images captured by Michelle O’Sullivan.

Hedgerow wedding posy3. Of all the flowers we gazed lovingly at this year, Aoife’s unkempt raffia tied posies were high up on our list of favourites. Created by Tie The Knot Flowers and captured by Emily Doran Photography. Take a peek at the rest of her cute wedding style here.

Helens David Fielden wedding gown4. Helen’s David Fielden dress – need we say any more?! In fact, we pretty much loved every detail of Helen’s wedding to Thomas at Ballymagarvey Village, shot by Epic Love Photography.

Orla and Ryans fun day

5. When Spin 103.8 DJ, Ryan, married Orla earlier this year, they made sure there was plenty of Guinness stops along the way – Johnny Fox’s Pub being number one choice! Tip of the hat to Julie Cummins Photography for the fun, quirky images. See the rest of the day by clicking here!

Luisa and Garys Mini wedding car

6. We said at the time that it could be our all time favourite wedding cars and we stand by our earlier statement! Luisa and Gary’s day was fun from start to finish and their original vintage Mini only made those guests’ smiles even bigger! The couple’s wedding was captured by Emily Doran Photography. Check out the rest of the wedding here. 

Rachel and Philips cinema photos7. What do you do when the weather brings A LOT of snow to your wedding day? Have a quick rethink and change your location to somewhere fun and unique, that’s what! This is exactly what Rachel and Philip did when faced with the white stuff, and we are in awe of the cool set of images Gillian Higgins captured in this unusual location.

Breathtaking Mussenden Temple

8. A ceremony location that literally took our breath away? You can’t get much more amazing than Mussenden Temple which is where Robert and Catherine tied the knot. Photography by Paula O’Hara.

Elegant Ballyfin Demesne dining room

9. The elegant and formal dining room at Ballyfin Demense is a fond favourite from Carol and Nils‘ grown up sophisticated day. Photography by Paul Kelly Studio3.

Outdoor wedding at The Rectory, Glandore

10. We’ve said it more than once but we can’t quite get enough of Becky and Jack’s outdoor ceremony by the sea at The Rectory, Glanadore, as captured by Whisper I Do.

Ivory wedding cake

11. We’re fond of our cakes, especially Catherine and Peter’s five tiered beauty! Made by Brian Mulcahy and captured by Justin Morrison Photography, we adore the simple elegance and understated drama of this cake.

Outdoor garden party wedding

12. We are so thankful for this year’s beautiful sunny weather which enabled Lorraine and Stephen to have their outdoor garden party wedding, complete with Arklow Shipping Silver Band at Trudder Lodge. Photography on the day was by the talented Daniel Kowalczyk from DK Photo.

Little Deets wedding stationery

13. Rachel and Richard had details down to a tee, at their Solis Lake Eske wedding. The stationery above is from Little Deets and photographed by Paula O’Hara Photography.

Amazing short wedding gown

14. How could we forget Sarah’s lace 50s style short gown? Her Galgorm wedding to Paul was a delight to behold! Photography by Blackbox Photography.

Colourful fun wedding

15. Last but not least, we love the personality that come through from Moira and Ciaran’s colourful and fun wedding. The day was captured by Leanne Keaney.
