Wedding Wednesday: St. Patty’s Day!

I know St. Patrick’s Day isn’t until next week, but Wedding Wednesday fell a week early, so…why not celebrate a week early? Right? Riiiight???

So, I’m not Irish. (I’m actually Scottish, Norman, and German-Dutch.) But I love St. Patrick’s Day. Maybe because I can wear Kiss me, I’m Irish shirts and no one questions it. 😉

The dress:

Oh goodness. Do you ever watch those wedding dress shows? And you just can’t understand how a bride can spend so much money on two dresses because they can’t decide between the two?

I now understand.

So today, there are two dresses. Just consider the second one to be a reception change.

Humor me.

Isn’t this second dress cute?? And look at the gold sparkles. Perfect for the gold accents that show up a little later in this post! 🙂

The shoes:

The hair:

So, apparently this week I’m indecisive. Because now I have two hairstyles. Ugh. The dresses call for an up-do, but really? Who can deny this half-up do?

You can’t have a St. Patty’s Day wedding without some Celtic knots! And isn’t this the cutest place for them?!

So for the up-do for the dresses, though, here’s what I found. Braids. Too sweet!

Hair1
From Tutu & Fru.

The Bridesmaid dress:

You guys. I’m dying over this one. Dying. I need it.

The cake:

The one thing that you need to be careful of in themed weddings is going overboard. So nixing the green on the cake helps to up the elegance. (But I have to admit, I’d probably remove that shimmery gold clover.)

The flowers:

I looooove the gold as an accent color with an emerald green wedding. So pretty!

Bonus! The ring:

When I spotted this, I had to include it. Because. Bling.

So what do you think? Would you want a St. Patrick’s Day wedding? What’s your favorite from today’s post?

    1. Lol!! Thank you!! Well, I probably shouldn’t “thank” you because I am so *not* the designer on any of these things. But I tell you…this wedding is soooo going to show up in a story one day. 😉
