On Sunday 23rd November I went along to the  Bellinter House Wedding Showcase. This venue was on my list of must see venues. If you have been following my blog for awhile you will know that I love intimate wedding venues and ones that offer a cosy, romantic and old time feel. Bellinter House definitely has these elements. This post is not sponsored. Bellinter House is a Georgian Manor and is located in the beautiful setting of the Meath Countryside. There are 35 guests rooms located in the house and a further five duplex rooms with two single story dwellings in the renovated Stables. These rooms are modern, spacious, warm and relaxing and are located next to the house. The Stables accommodation Grand staircase that leads to the Bridal Suite What to expect from the venue: Old meets new in this venue. Parts of the house have been renovated.

Hello, I hope your well. We are in the last stretch of the year and you know what that means, Christmas is coming and it is my favorite part of the year.

Belle Marie Bridal is new to Athboy, it opened it doors over a year ago and is located in the former McElhinneys Bridal Rooms.  I know some of you will remember McElhinneys. Fiona, the fabulous owner of Belle Mariée was telling me that she bought her wedding dress from the original shop, I thought that was a lovely story and now she is the proud owner of a bridal shop in the same location. It goes to show you never know where life can take you.     Onto the shop itself, as with my other visits I was warmly welcomed by Fiona and we chatted away about all things bridal.  Belle Mariée literally oozes elegance, the decor is French elegance. Fiona has an astounding attention to detail from the way the dresses are displayed in the window and the shop, through to the lighting, the window draping, the opulent mirrors and the luxuri
