Real Wedding: An Irish Wedding from Lisa O'Dwyer Photography

HELLO THERE:

Welcome to Kiss My Tulle, where the weddings are big but the budgets are small. I'm Cris Stone and I live in San Antonio, Texas (by way of Salcha, Alaska) with my new husband (The Boy), our puppy (Hank), and our cat (Caira).

I'm excited to share my ideas on creating the wedding of your dreams on an affordable budget.

Real Wedding: An Irish Wedding from Lisa O'Dwyer Photography

I've got another KILLER Two Bright Lights real wedding for y'all today and it's a beaut - all the way from Leighlinbridge, Co. Carlow, Ireland! Fabulous photographer Lisa O'Dwyer Photography Bride showcased this stunning wedding of the trophy-winning horse-rider bride and her groom (a truck driver). It was important to the bride that her favorite horse, MinisterforFun, was included in the wedding photos.

My favorite bits? The groom rented an American semi-truck for transportation to and from the wedding. The bride's stunner of a ruffled gown and birdcage veil. And the sweetest thing ever? The groom purchased the wedding flowers while in Holland driving his truck and the bride's mother put together the flower arrangements! Take a moment and be pepared to fall in luuurve:

Other favorite touches are the simple floral arrangement in the flower girl's basket (in lieu of the more traditional loose rose petals). And can we talk again about the absolute COOLNESS of the semi-truck "getaway" car? Viva la originality!

So Tulle Nation, you like? I've already told you my favorite parts - what are yours? Did you see something that you're going to steal for your wedding day? How much did you love the bride and groom's personal touches? Please chime in!
