Your Essential 6 Month Wedding Checklist

This one is for all our summer brides and grooms. We know you are busy planning each detail of your special day, but there’s always the risk of forgetting something – and lets face it, timing is everything when it comes to weddings! We caught up with Claira Barbour, Sales and Marketing Manager, from the Glenroyal Hotel & Leisure Club , and she put together THE ultimate 6 month wedding checklist.

  • Connect your bridesmaids if they don’t know each other
  • Plan the hen/stag parties
  • Finalize your colour palette
  • Go shopping for bridesmaid dresses
  • Begin planning your honeymoon
  • Check your passports are in date
  • Make a mood board for any DIY ideas and begin buying supplies

  • Sign-up for your pre-marriage course & double-check any legalities (especially if you are getting married abroad)
  • Sample wedding cake
  • Book your ceremony music
  • Just engaged and super excited to tie the knot? It’s totally achievable to plan a wedding in less than a year! Look up your nearest Wedding Fair and get planning…
Start with the Glenroyal Hotel & Leisure Club this Sunday January 17th from 2:00-5:00pm. Enjoy a glass of wine while discussing your vision with their Wedding Coordinator, who will show you around the stunning Corrib and Connaught Suites plus the romantic Bridal Suite. Prices start from a fantastic €44 per person. For more information call the Glenroyal Hotel on 01 629 0909 or email sales@glenroyal.ie
