Ireland is a place where you can confidently plan a stunning wedding year-round. Many couples choose spring and summer (for obvious reasons), but we’d love for couples to also consider winter months! With stunning natural light, a cozy castle atmosphere, and lots of sparkling lights — your dream wedding may actually mean a December/January/February date! Gorgeous couple Clodagh and James did just that, choosing the stunning Luttrellstown Castle for their traditional style wedding day that featured spectacular winter berries, silvery eucalyptus, and lots of romantic candlelight. 

Because this highprofile couple featured famous Dublin footballer James McCarthy and his stunning bride, many news outlets got first dibs on featuring photos and sneakpeaks. And we’re delighted to share some with you now just ahead of the Christmas season. Please make sure to check out more here and here!

(The 32-year-old McCarthy is one of the most decorated footballers in GAA history. So far, he has won eight All-Irelands,  11 Leinster titles, six National Football leagues, as well as multiple club honours.)
