The Look (Dress & Beauty) 💍
You want to look like yourself, just… elevated. These local experts are the best at creating that "effortless" bridal glow.
Honest tip: Don't sleep on this place for the Mother-of-the-Bride. My mum struggled to find something modern until we went here. Marian knew exactly what would suit her shape immediately.
Marian Gale Boutique - Dublin's Leading Bridal, Mother of the Bride and Debs ...
She is a wizard. I was terrified of my cousin looking "caked" in makeup, but she made her skin look like actual skin, just glowing. It lasted through tears and dancing until 2 AM.
SUZANNE KAVANAGH MAKEUP
I refused my cousin to pay €300+ for a veil in a boutique. I found this shop in Bray (on Etsy) and the quality is identical. Hand-made locally and the tulle is so soft, not scratchy at all.

The Vibe (Decor & Flowers) 🌸
Setting the scene is everything. These creatives take your vague Pinterest board and turn it into something real and spectacular.
Their floral arches are stunning. We asked for "wild and messy" rather than perfect balls of roses, and they totally nailed that garden-style look we wanted.
Precious Petals - Dublin
If your venue is a bit plain, these guys are the answer. They draped our room in fairy lights and it completely changed the atmosphere. Worth every penny for the "wow" factor.
Frog Prince Weddings
A North Dublin planning team that actually listens. They didn't try to upsell us on things we didn't want, just focused on making our weird ideas happen smoothly.
Infusion Weddings
The Party (Music, Photo & Cake) 🍰
The stuff your guests will actually remember: Good tunes, good cake, and great photos to prove it happened.
We were worried a DJ would be "cheesy" but the live sax player changed everything. The dance floor was full from the first song until the lights came on.
DJ & SAX
If you hate posing, book Peter. He just blended into the background and captured hilarious, candid moments of our friends that we didn't even see happening.
Peter Rowen
Her cakes are works of art, but they actually taste good too. We did a tasting box and the Lemon & Elderflower flavor was honestly the best cake I've ever eaten.
