MELBOURNE IRISH WEDDING IDEAS AND POPULAR VENUE CHOICES

 

 

Ideas for Your Irish Wedding

There are a lot of different ways for you to incorporate culture and style into your Irish wedding. You have to decide whether you want to honor your Irish heritage in a traditional or more modern way.

Claddagh Ring

The most well-known tradition in the Irish culture is the Claddagh ring. It’s worn on the right-hand so that the point of the heart faces the fingertip. Once a woman is engaged, it moves to her left hand and it is flipped at the wedding to show that her heart has been captured.

Handfasting

There is a Celtic tradition where the hands of the happy are tied together so that it’s symbolic in joining in matrimony. It’s where the “tying the knot” phrase came from.

All throughout your reception, you may want to consider Irish culture as well. Consider having a corned beef carving station and even potato and leek soup for your entrée. You may also want to stock the bar with such things as Bailey’s Irish cream, Jameson, and Guinness.

You may also want to carry a horseshoe, such as having it incorporated into your bouquet, as it is a sign of good luck on your wedding day. A smaller, porcelain version, may also be sewn into your wedding dress.

Popular Venue Choices
