Sometimes a couple wants to showcase their family backgrounds as a part of their wedding experience. One of the best chances to do so is at the rehearsal dinner. We recently worked with a Melissa & Kevin - she's Italian, he's Irish. Since the wedding had glimmers of Melissa's Italian heritage the couple decided the rehearsal dinner would be a great place to go all out Irish!
Although the couple definitely wanted an Irish feel they did not want to clad the room in Irish flags and leprechauns. We felt it was best to give hints of the Emerald Isle in a modern way.
We deconstructed the colors of Ireland's flag with green bells of ireland, white hydrangea, and orange gerbera daisies. Glowing votives showcased a celtic knot, a symbol of eternity and unity.
While their guests sipped Guiness and nibbled on Irish soad bread they read about the tradition of Irish wedding bells which graced the tablescape. A tasty shamrock cookie was the perfect favor to finish the night.
Thank you Melissa & Kevin for the wonderful inspiration for this festive Irish gathering!
- Erin & Demetra
