Wedding dresses in Ireland

I was in Youghal, Ireland, recently at a wedding, and was amazed at the smart clothes people were wearing. Youghal is quite a small town on the south coast of Ireland, and is a lovely place, but a little old-fashioned in some way.

I was quite surprised to see that the Irish really let their hair down over weddings. I’m talking about the dresses and suits, yes, suits that people were wearing. Really smart, and the dresses were all top designers stuff. Now, I’m a mere male so I don’t know much about wedding dresses or dresses for bridesmaids, but I know when I see something elegant.

Stunning designer wedding and bridesmaid dresses

I asked another guest, who was local, where they could get Wedding dresses like that, and was told that these were designer dresses by people like Ronald Joyce and Raul Novias – at least, I think that’s what I was told. These were bought in Youghal, which is quite a centre for these things, I learned.

The bride’s dress was fairly traditional, except for that low neckline, with a veil and some other wedding accessories. Then, the two bridesmaids, who were in their twenties, wore stunning bridesmaid dresses. Also by famous designers.

The whole thing must have cost a fortune before you include the photographer, the food and the band. A real shindig, it was! I must say I really enjoyed it, and managed not to drink too much – well that’s my opinion.

It seems that the Irish really go for Designer Wedding dresses in a BIG way, and that means they start off by finding a good wedding dress shop, and that they will go a long way to get what they want. Most of these shops only see people by appointment, but they are always busy. Sounds like a good business to me.
