My must have tips for your Summer Wedding in Northern Ireland.

SUMMER WEDDING IN NORTHERN IRELAND!

Yes, Northern Ireland can have all four season in one day regardless what the season is. There are things to be aware of when planning your wedding in Northern Ireland during the summer months.

With my experience shooting wedding’s in Northern Ireland, I have created a list of my tips and things to consider. All from experience.

My SUMMER Wedding tips …

More daylight hours is a huge factor and hopes for warm weather! Here’s a few tips/ tricks for summer weddings in Northern Ireland-

  • Biggest factor for me is the amount of daylight to play with. 
  • You can book a later ceremony time.
  • Things to remember, bottles of water, sun cream, hand held fans.
  • Planning an outdoor ceremony, check what is the back up option with venue if the weather doesn’t play ball.
  • 1st dance, if your hoping for a dark room, check for any windows? Is there blinds? With late sunset about 10pm it may not be as expected.
  • Sparklers, again it’s gonna be late when it gets dark. Guests likely to be well drunk by then, please be extra cautious if this is something you want. As previously mention in other post, ALWAYS get venue approval.
  • Remember, it’s good ole NI! Summer doesn’t guarantee the weather! Always be prepared. You can’t control it, so don’t stress. Clear umbrellas never leave my car boot.
  • Golden hour is my happy place! The light is insanely dreamy. These photos are from golden hour. Taken after the meal and after the first dance. So if I come and say we need to get some golden hour photos, this is why! Swipe for the golden magic.
