Choosing a dress and a veil is one of the most memorable and anticipated moments ahead of your wedding day.

You will want a dress that ticks many boxes, including beauty and comfort, and a design that has a spark of character and uniqueness that suits your personality.

Wilde by Design has the perfect fit for brides who want something a little bit different.

The bridal business was established by the talented designer Jill Wilde, when she spotted a gap in the market that highlighted a lack of choice for brides-to-be.

Jill has a very unique offering for alternative brides and she creates stunning, bespoke wedding dresses, veils and cloaks, that will bring out the best in every bride.

Get the perfect wedding look

These beautiful makeup looks were created by Nessa Walsh Skincare and Makeup Artistry.

She believes that “skincare is the foundation to flawless makeup”.

To achieve this perfect wedding look, Nessa ensured that the “skin was kept fresh and flawless, while enhancing natural features with colours that suited the model’s tone”.

A bridal makeup trial, including skincare analysis and advice, costs €60. Bridal makeup packages start from €150 (three people). Travel costs may apply.
