Family focused wedding at Tower Hotel, Waterford by Katie Kav Photography

Today’s wedding comes with lots of sweet and very pretty details, and three of the cutest kids we ever did see! Niamh and Patrick were keen to keep their wedding day relaxed and with a strong focus on their family, especially their twin boys and little two year old. Thanks to Katie Kav Photography for sharing with us.

Waterford couple, Niamh and Patrick first met in March 2004 and quickly knew they were on to a winning combination, and eight years on Patrick got down on one knee in front of the Christmas tree to ask Niamh a very special question.

“As we have three boys planning the wedding had to fit in with our day to day lives. We had lots of help from great friends before and during the day. We attended many a wedding fair to get ideas and check out venues. As soon as we started planning we both wanted to be married in our local church where our boys were christened,” explained Niamh.

With their wedding date set for May, 3rd Niamh chose a fresh and elegant French navy and off white colour scheme and luckily for her happened upon her ideal wedding dress in Clonmel during a shopping trip.

“I had an idea of what I wanted but on day in Clonmel my mum and I passed a bridal shop which was holding a sample sale. We decided to go in and I saw a dress I liked. I tried it on and it was perfect my dream dress! I ordered it there and then, I was so happy as I never dreamed it could have been so easy and stress free!” added Niamh.

With her two bridesmaids in navy dresses from the Jenny Packham range at Debenhams and the guys in navy suits and tan brogues the day came together and Niamh’s pretty details and choice of stunning vintage floral arrangements came together effortlessly.

“I was finding it hard to get shoes I really liked to go with my dress and having tried on Jimmy Choo’s I couldn’t get them out of my head. Patrick surprised me with a present of them for Valentine’s Day before our wedding! They made my wedding dress complete and I was sure I had to marry him then!” said Niamh.

“The day was fantastic with everyones great help, as we have three young boys things had to go to plan! As I was dressing myself our two year old was undressing himself refusing to wear his outfit. I’m sure there were probably a few disasters going on in the background that I knew nothing about. We had lots of highlights but the big one was my twin sons leading the wedding party up the aisle,” added Niamh.
