Ever wondered what our suppliers would spend the last €100 of their imaginary wedding budget on? Yep, so did we, so we asked them…

How about hiring an Irish dancer with the last €100 of your budget? Our Irish dancers can be added to any traditional music entertainment packages, showcasing rhythmic beats and graceful slip jigs! Sure to bring excitement and craic to your wedding day!
Sparkle Events
With €100 left, we’d spend it on elegant uplighting to enhance the room’s atmosphere. Soft, warm lighting instantly elevates a space, adds luxury, and makes every photo and moment feel extra special.
Bridal Gown Cleaning
We would hope that all brides had us prebooked well before they were down to their last €100.
Always recommended to include bridal gown cleaning and preservation in the original budget and book in at least 2 months in advance.
No matter what they decide to do with their bridal gown it will require cleaning, and if planning on keeping it we would highly recommend preservation boxing to prevent oxidation, mould, mildew and hanger strain over the years.
While €100 won’t get you a lot these day, it would be a nice deposit off your Bridal Gown Cleaning and Preservation Boxing.
Misneach Moments
If I had €100 left in my wedding budget, I would spend it on small personalised items such as personalised wedding ribbons for the wine glasses on the top table or personalised wedding bouquet ribbons both of which make amazing keepsakes and enhance the personal feel of the day.
White Amber Photography
Spend the last €100 on a champagne pyramid – a sparkling finale that’s fun, celebratory, and perfect for photos!
Caricatures by Niall O Loughlin
€100 left? Guests won’t remember the chair covers… but they will remember getting drawn and roasted in a caricature!

Transform your wedding day! Spend that final €100 by adding me to your champagne reception. Not just background music, but a heartfelt Irish soundtrack that turns moments into memories. Let’s create an unforgettable atmosphere together—one that your guests will talk about long after the party!
Linda Byrne The Wedding Illustrator
I would definitely spend it towards my favourite CHANEL perfume, something I could wear on the wedding day and return to again and again. Every time I’d wear it, those wedding-day memories will come flooding back in an instant!
The Good Hustle Band
Michael here from the Good Hustle band, we love it when the dancefloors go crazy, so we would spend that last €100 on party hats and wigs and things that let your guests have fun!
The Catering Company
I’d be shellfish and keep the €100 – no Beef needed!
I’d lay it on the table and take my sweet peaches for an egg-stravagant honeymoon meal. Pick our idea and we’ll add another €100 when you book a package with us!
Print My Pint
If we had €100 left, we’d spend it on a small, memorable guest moment – like personalised pints at the bar. Even a simple printed message or photo instantly turns a regular drink into something guests photograph, share, and remember long after the wedding.

A good bottle of wine and an anniversary wine box – secret letters written to each other are placed inside the box during the wedding ceremony to be opened on your first anniversary while enjoying the wine. A great way to reflect on the day and the love that brought you together.
Munster Photobooth
€100 to blow on something as a photobooth person, get some truly weird hats have them for the disco afterwards either oversized foam cowboy hats or a viking helmet – nothing with hard points!
Comedy Hypnotist Sarah-Jane O’Neill
I would definitely spend it on self care, a spa treatment or afternoon tea a week or two before the wedding. So many brides get stressed out in the lead up to the wedding and are thinking too much about everyone else, so taking that self care break will give you a chance to rest your nervous system and clear your head.
Mindful Memories
If I had €100 left in a wedding budget, I’d spend it on personalised keepsake magnets. Handmade in Ireland using personalisation, they double as stylish wedding favours and place-setting details, while giving guests a meaningful memento they’ll actually keep — turning a small budget into something truly lasting.
The White Ivy Bridal Boutique
If your bridal style is missing a little something, invest in a detail that truly elevates your look! Delicate lace gloves add a bit of romance and drama and will look amazing in your wedding pics. The perfect final touch, especially to a simple dress!
David McAuley Photography
Assuming all main things covered, I would spend the last €100 of the budget on either Masquerade Masks or LED Light-up Wristbands to add some extra fun or colour to your dancefloor.
Orla McCarthy Celebrant
If you’re planning on an outside ceremony and want to include any candle enhancements
(remembrance/unity), then storm vases are a must! Even the slights puff of air can make it tricky to light the candles and keep them lit. A vase higher than your candles should do the trick.
Creative Wedding and Event Decor
Spend your last €100 on atmosphere. Rent lanterns for warm lighting, a welcome stand to greet guests, wooden crates for styled displays, and a sparkler bucket for a joyful send off. Small touches, big impact. Affordable décor hire makes your venue feel personal, polished, and unforgettable.
InStanza
I’d spend my last €100 on taking the right person, someone I trust, out for dinner or lunch before the big day, and I’d do a few run-throughs of the speech (with fair warning!).
Much cheaper than therapy, and far less risky than winging it with a microphone.
Coco Blossom Cake Design
The last €100 would go towards refinement, enhanced detailing, hand-finished elements, and carefully balanced proportions. Those final touches are what elevate a wedding cake from beautiful to unforgettable.

I would spend my last €100 on planting a native tree or wildflower meadow in memory of my dad. Something that continues to grow and even flourish each year, a tribute that feels more meaningful and a quiet reminder of love, legacy and stories that will continue long after my wedding day.
Camrin Films

If I had €100 left, I’d spend it on an extra half-hour with the photographer. Those unscripted moments — hugs, laughter, chaos — often become the most treasured memories.
Solar Do Paco Algarve
We’d invest it in a statement décor detail, like our golden mirror — the perfect welcome sign by day and a photo spot by night. Décor and entertainment in one, creating fun moments and beautiful memories for guests.
Emotion Wedding Film
If I were a couple with €100 left in the wedding budget, I’d spend it on sparkle sparklers for guests to use during the first dance. They instantly create a magical, romantic atmosphere and make the moment unforgettable — especially in photos and films.
