Dara was casual, I was vintage. From the start we wanted it to be relaxed. Dara set the tone early on and was adamant he would not wear a tie. The groomsmen all wore different shirts and different buttonholes. We had a lot of DIY aspects and some very helpful friends! We did the invitations, menus, table numbers, wedding favours, picture display, jars for the tables, road signs, mass booklets and the flowers for the church pews ourselves. We hired a MG and Dara was able to drive us away after the ceremony which kept everything laid back. The engagement ring started the vintage theme. I always knew I wanted a vintage style dress. I went to a vintage shop in Dublin and found a style I loved but certain aspects didn&rsquo;t suit. Then I found a fantastic designer and dress maker. I showed her a picture of the vintage dress and she created an amazing dress.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-571733\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/a3\/e0\/a3e0d06ecf16afaa.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage-Irish-Wedding-at-The-Lodge-at-Ashford (15 of 27)\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-571963\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/db\/43\/db43bed66f90933d.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage-Irish-Wedding-at-The-Lodge-at-Ashford (17 of 27)\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-571964\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/9b\/7a\/9b7aa7e6a849eed2.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage-Irish-Wedding-at-The-Lodge-at-Ashford (18 of 27)\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-571965\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/a4\/18\/a418a507e49a2760.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage-Irish-Wedding-at-The-Lodge-at-Ashford (19 of 27)\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-571966\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/41\/ab\/41ab6918c786304d.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage-Irish-Wedding-at-The-Lodge-at-Ashford (20 of 27)\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-571967\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/9a\/58\/9a585157f70d7717.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage-Irish-Wedding-at-The-Lodge-at-Ashford (21 of 27)\" width=\"600\" height=\"898\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-571968\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/de\/51\/de51ef806ad23779.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage-Irish-Wedding-at-The-Lodge-at-Ashford (22 of 27)\" width=\"600\" height=\"898\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-571970\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/a3\/f3\/a3f3541fbec7a366.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage-Irish-Wedding-at-The-Lodge-at-Ashford (24 of 27)\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-571971\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/e7\/5a\/e75a3bd08e19f064.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage-Irish-Wedding-at-The-Lodge-at-Ashford (25 of 27)\" width=\"600\" height=\"898\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-571972\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/b8\/be\/b8be9a11baa4333e.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage-Irish-Wedding-at-The-Lodge-at-Ashford (26 of 27)\" width=\"600\" height=\"898\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-571973\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/c9\/2a\/c92a079a78d20cd4.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage-Irish-Wedding-at-The-Lodge-at-Ashford (27 of 27)\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-571969\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/96\/29\/9629df55bb23e31d.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage-Irish-Wedding-at-The-Lodge-at-Ashford (23 of 27)\" width=\"600\" height=\"898\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"goldbox\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>The Wedding Team:<br>\n<\/em><\/span>Photography &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomaszkornas.com\" target=\"_blank\">Tomasz Kornas<\/a><br>\nCeremony Venue &ndash;&nbsp;St. Patrick&rsquo;s Church<br>\nReception Venue &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelodgeac.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Lodge at Ashford<\/a><br>\nFloral Design &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.maddensflorists.ie\" target=\"_blank\">Madden&rsquo;s Florists<\/a><br>\nCatering &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelodgeac.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Lodge at Ashford<\/a><br>\nDJ &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.djjasonshaughnessy.com\" target=\"_blank\">Jason Shaughnessy<\/a><br>\nLive Music &ndash;
