Irish Wedding Ideas
You will find that there are all sorts of different ways to add an Irish theme into the details of your wedding.
The Bride
The bride may want to have a horseshoe on her as it is said to bring good luck on the wedding day. A horseshoe can be incorporated into the bridal bouquet or even sewn into the dress. It should always be held straight up so that it forms a “U.” Otherwise, luck might run out.
The Wedding Party
If you want to go with a traditional look, green should be brought into what everyone wears. You may want to have the women wear green dresses and the men wear green vests. If you don’t want to go quite that operate, you may want to find a simpler way to bring in the green – or even a shamrock design.
