Elegant Halloween Themed Wedding

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Themed weddings are one of the hottest trends for 2014!  Themed weddings are lots of fun for the guests and done in the right way are far from cheesy!  Lately, I have heard of more and more brides considering a Halloween themed wedding.  At first, this theme may seem far from what you typically imagine when picturing a wedding, but with the right details it can be frightfully fantastic!  Take a look at some of these inspiration photos for an elegant Halloween wedding!

One of the keys of having a Halloween wedding is to have fun and think outside of the box when deciding on decor.  Try using yellow as a wedding color instead of orange/black!

Consider wearing a black sash or for a truly unique look wear a black wedding dress!  Don’t forget about the guys.  Love these matching Halloween socks!

To really set the spooky Halloween mood, try black and green wedding colors or even black and deep red!

Reception Idea: Wedding Bucket List

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Have you ever wanted to create a bucket list?  A bucket list consists of things you want to do.  Some people create bucket lists for a season, for a year or even for a lifetime.  As you start your new life as husband and wife why not create a bucket list of things to do as a married couple?  Coming up with that list may be harder than it sounds, so try asking your wedding guests to help you!

Have guests write down a bucket list item they think your should do as a married couple.  Read them after the wedding and start checking off your items!

You can even ask guests for a travel bucket list!

New Trend: Glamping!

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

 Camping may not be your idea of fun but glamping might be.  Glamping is a term combining glamour and camping and is all about luxury.  It is like staying in a 5 star hotel but in your own private tent.  Brides are loving the idea of a glamping wedding where all of the guests stay in their own luxury tents with the wedding ceremony and reception nearby.

These tents can even have bathrooms!!!  Or you can even rent luxury bathroom tents!

If you want to have a glamping wedding, I would suggest consulting a company or location that specializes in these luxury tents.  They can help this idea come to life especially if you want your guests to have their own tents.  Of course, you can imagine having a glamping wedding isn’t cheap.

 I love the idea of the activities you get to do while glamping like bike riding, fishing and roasting marshmallows by the fire.

I think glamping combines the best of both worlds…luxury accomodations and the outdoors. I would love to attend a glamping wedding.  Would you?
