This story is dedicated to Amy and Ger, an alternative wedding
story that will inspire many couples to plan their wedding their own
way.
The Love Story
Amy and Ger met in work nearly eight years ago and they got engaged the day
they moved into the house that they built.
“Ger proposed to me in loo but he won’t admit that. As I scrubbed clean our new kitchen in my sports bra & leggings
without a scrap of makeup Ger called Amy upstairs saying that their en-suite
was leaking”
“As I ran up he caught me in the door told me to close my eyes as he had
something for me – I started a diet (probably that day) and I asked “is it
chocolate” – it wasn’t it was my Grandmother’s engagement ring”
The Wedding Venue
As Ger plays with a wedding band called Jaker & Co he is at weddings
every weekend. They knew they wanted something different.
"Originally, we wanted to go abroad but it was too much of a headache. So one Friday evening Amy typed ‘small alternative wedding venue’ into Google " The Pigeon House" popped up, the next day we went to the
pigeon house for brunch and while stuck in traffic on the way home, they decided
to book their wedding.
The Wedding Dress
When it came to her dress, Amy did not go the traditional route.
“I saw a dress
I liked online from Needle and Thread’s and I saw that it came in full
length, so I ordered it and I liked it and that was it. Simples!”
Such a stunning dress and bride, of course, the beaded detail is fabulous.
The planning process
With the wedding planning, Amy was easy going with the parts that she
could control.
“Guests lists, awaiting RSVPs, seating plans, guests
cancelling at the last minute – this drove me insane! I tried my best to enjoy
the process, I was on top of everything and tried to stay in control, but at
times I found it stressful”
Theme/ Colour Scheme
“I went from blush pink to peach and green. I wanted to work with the
venue and the décor there.
"I wanted my dress which was blush pink to tie in
with everything”
Personal details
When it came to the personal details, Ger and Amy added in details that
represented them as a couple from music to family and food.
Amy and Ger are real foodies so their venue was perfect for them. “The
food in the Pigeon House is amazing, nothing like the traditional wedding menu”
As Ger is a musician, they wanted to have music acts throughout their
wedding. “Our friends sang at our ceremony and afters, and we had lots of musical
friends and family jumped up to play which was great fun”
“My favourite part of the day was when The Hit Machine played. These are
an amazing drum troop, my husband got up to play – they didn’t realise he was a
drummer and it was just such a fun moment!”
Wedding Planning Tips
“My biggest tip for couples planning a wedding has be to leave your
honeymoon a little later. Planning a wedding is exhausting, go on a mini moon
and relax and recover, then go on your main honeymoon a little later. This
gives you something to look forward to and time to save also.”
The Honeymoon
Ger and Amy opted for a Minimoon. The week after their wedding they went to The Europe in Fossa,
Kerry and then to Thailand in September.
Anything they would change….
“Try to relax a little more and take in all in and enjoy as much of the
planning as possible.”
So there you have it Amy & Ger's alternative wedding story.
