The people of Ireland have their own distinct traditions that make it easy to distinguish an Irish wedding from weddings of other cultures. With so many wonderful traditions that hold a great deal of importance to many families it is important to plan a wedding that will celebrate the cultural diversity rather than spotlight one of the cultures while neglecting the other.
It is the maid of honor who will know best what type of party the bride is looking forward to, what she will enjoy and what types of gifts are most appropriate for the bride's taste. If you choose a very young child or a child that is particularly shy as our flower girl, you may want to consider having their parent accompany them down the aisle so that they are not overwhelmed on the day of the wedding. A camping trip offers the groom a quiet atmosphere to reflect with his friends on the journey he is about to take.
The theory behind this type of choice is that the couple decides that their love for each other is strong enough to survive and that they do not need to have the approval of their churches in order to have a successful and lasting marriage. Cakes or cupcakes arranged on a serving tray and artfully decorated with fresh or artificial flowers also make a lovely and unique centerpiece. An extra tip for balloon centerpieces is to weigh them down with a piece of candy.
Giving each of your groomsmen a variation of the same idea makes even the most traditional gift idea appear modern. You will be able to look through your photos one day and reminisce about your wedding day.
