Here at the Knightsbrook Hotel we have no doubt that your wedding will be magical, as our rural countryside venue is suitable for luxury celebrations throughout the seasons. Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate winter wedding or sunny spring wedding, the expansive rolling green hills of Trim will set the mood and serve as the perfect backdrop. 

Trends come and go and, with so many extravagant wedding ideas to choose from, it can be overwhelming to draw inspiration and narrow down your options. To make your special day easier, we have compiled a list of our favourite wedding trends - for any season. 

Let’s be honest, food is integral to the success of a wedding 

Being that your wedding cake is one of the most important parts of your wedding, why not have fun with it? Cupcake cakes or doughnut cakes are two great alternatives to the traditional tiered cake. Both options are very versatile, as there is more opportunity to get creative with icing or colour options to match a certain theme. They also add convenience for your guests, as they can grab an easy bite of dessert while on the dance floor. 

Another popular wedding trend is a family-style meal instead of a formal multi-course meal. Allowing your guests to pick and choose their meals and portions is suitable for a more casual atmosphere. This also allows for more mingling amongst guests, creating a more intimate setting. 

Anyone who’s planned a wedding can tell you that catering takes a large chunk of the overall budget. Aware of this, we offer four onsite restaurants and bars. Our expert team of chefs have meticulously crafted a wide variety of menu selections for special events. If you have something special in mind, our chefs are also able to customise a menu to your liking. 

Unique photo opportunities will leave your guests talking about your day long after it has ended 

Increasingly popular for weddings are floral arrangements and extravagant installations. Flower walls offer a creative and romantic photo-op that your guests are sure to love. Brightly coloured flower walls are perfect for the warmer seasons, whereas ivy or natural greenery add an earthy touch for the colder seasons. Our preferred florist, Petals & Pressies, is able to assist and advise on which flowers work best for your wedding.

Polaroid cameras are another trendy activity for your guests and serve as a fun alternative to the traditionally signed wedding book. Using a polaroid camera, guests can snap a picture of themselves at your wedding and write a special note. In doing so, you will end up with a book of smiling friends and family that you can cherish forever. 

Environmentally-conscious weddings are here to stay 

Add a small personal touch to each drink by customising drink straw patterns, colours, and even text with paper or environmentally friendly straws. These trendy and sustainable straws are sure to add a unique twist to every drink. 

Deviating from traditional confetti, hole-punched leaves are another sweet and environmentally conscious way to celebrate your special day. The leaf confetti will really tie in the country-side atmosphere of your luxury Knightsbrook wedding without generating additional waste. 

Upon booking your event at the Knightsbrook you are automatically assigned a wedding coordinator who will assist you in ensuring your big day runs smoothly. Your designated wedding planner can help you customise your menu, recommend wine pairings, and connect you with local bakers, florists, and entertainment options. 

Our wedding venues and accommodations are able to host up to 1,000 guests, where guests will have access to our onsite spa, fitness centre, restaurants and lounges, and 18-hole championship golf course.
