One thing I would tell you is to make sure you bring warm clothes because its very very cold here and galway city is right beside the sea so its really windy and cold x

Totally agree with Gemma, you'll love Galway! stay away from hats or fascinatores they are popular among the Irish ladies but I really don't think they are flattering.a nice classy dress and a sinthetic fur shawl or cout will do matching clutch n shoes, they tend to overdress but you don't need to ;)

I don't think we overdress either, to be fair, we're quite traditional and as weddings are seen as kind of a big deal and a big celebration its nice to make an effort for it. The outfit Gemma put up would be perfect, also wrap up, its quite chilly!

Omg I love dublin! my aunt lived in dublin for a few years and I loved it when we would go to visit her. and your right there's not many irish girls on here. I thought there would be more :-) have you ever been to derry?

I work in Claire's in Swords and I see a lot of ladies going all in when they could look way better without all that sparkle, but the outfit you posted was on point!

Hi Gemma & Aimee, I'm from Dundalk. Love this forum. I get some great ideas on here. Inka- Irish weddings do tend to be a big affair with a lot of effort made. The outfit Gemma suggested is really pretty. Good luck!!
