Confidence. Inspiration. Revelry. Joy. It’s hard, sometimes, to put artistic expression into words. Even the greatest wordsmith can struggle to pick the right combination of words, a perfect phrase, or cadence to capture what one experienced in real time. Thankfully, photographers come in to communicate without a single word, moments of pure joy and love […]

With the internet and various travel and wedding planning sites, the couple planning a wedding can easily be overwhelmed with information and stray easily off track. The way to tackle this event is to fight a two-front war: one on the wedding front, and one on the trip front. The good news is Waterlily Weddings […]

You will often here us talk about your destination wedding as an “experience” rather than an event. The word “event” seems so limited and finite; too narrowly focused. All of our clients choose Ireland in large part because not only does it offer an incredible natural setting, but also offers a chance to experience many things: different […]

One of our favorite weddings from 2016 was Brett and Ray’s July wedding at Virgina Park Lodge. We always tell our clients to make sure you incorporate yourselves into your special day. It’s hard, we know, to mitigate traditional elements with advice from family members, balance that against thousands of images on Pinterest and magazines […]

Earlier this year Waterlily Weddings had the express pleasure of coordinating a style shoot at one of our favorite venues, Killruddery House & Gardens in Bray, Co. Wicklow. The conservatory room served as the main location, its natural light pouring through the glass domed ceiling and walls highlighting effortlessly the classically romantic tone of the […]

The wedding planning world can be daunting. A lot of details to consider, coordination and planning of various items seemingly all at once, and adding on top of that, you placing your trust (not to mention your money!) into the hands of others whom you’ve never met, hoping they will see your vision, listen to […]

Waterlily Weddings offers a variety of services for our clients, one of which is on-day coordination. Some couples are already familiar with Ireland (usually a groom or bride is an Irish native) and therefore already have a set plan in place with a command on the planning process. But, they need a bit of help […]
