Autumn Weddings at Powerscourt Estate

Powerscourt House & Gardens

Wedding Venue
Don't hesitate to ask your preferred wedding venue to see pictures of the grounds in Autumn. Powerscourt House in Enniskerry is a stunning venue for an Autumn wedding. The beech trees along the avenue change to magnificent autumnal colours of fiery reds and oranges to bright vivid yellows.


Powerscourt House & Gardens
Powerscourt Avenue

The Gardens at Powerscourt are truly a kaleidoscope of colour in the Autumn, in particular the Japanese Garden, which is ideal for wedding photography.

Japanese Garden at Powerscourt

The Autumn colour palette is filled with warm colours of orange, yellow, deep purples and vivid gold. With beautiful frost kissed mornings and the slow rising mists there couldn't be a more romantic time to get married at Powerscourt House.


I came across some wonderful ideas for Autumn weddings, too many actually, so I have shortlisted them to some of my favourites. I hope you like them!

Wedding Caricatures - Niall O'Loughlin





Capturing Personalities....

I had never come across this idea before until I found one in my post box recently. A lovely wedding invitation, but with a difference, it was a caricature of the lovely couple.


Wedding Guest Board


I thought it was a wonderful idea as it really captured their personalities. I then started to do a little research and came across a great artist called Niall O'Loughlin.

Niall is regarded as the No. 1 caricaturist in Ireland. Niall enjoys sell-out exhibitions and has appeared on numerous radio and TV shows including the Saturday Night show and completed commissions for many well known celebrities from both Ireland and abroad.


Thank You Cards


There are lots of different options available for your wedding from the full suite of wedding stationery including invites, rsvp cards and thank you cards. There is also the option of having a caricature as a guest board and of course the ultimate is to have Niall at your wedding doing hilarious caricatures of your guests.


Bridesmaid Gifts


Caricatures are also the ideal gift for wedding couples and also the bridal party. Niall's caricatures can be subtle or as exaggerated as you like!









As it is almost impossible to price a caricature without knowing exactly what the client wants, Niall will try and tailor each caricature to suit peoples budgets and requirements. There are so many different options regarding pricing, size, colour, black and white etc. If you email Niall with a rough estimate of your budget, he will be happy to advise you.
