Average Budget Doesn’t Mean Average Experience

The truth is, most of the weddings you see on Pinterest and Instagram cost over €100k - often much more. But that doesn’t mean couples with an average wedding budget can’t have a stunning, elevated and deeply personal experience.

If you're planning a wedding in Ireland and working with a realistic budget - somewhere between €20k and €60k - you're in the right place. While full-service planning can be transformative, it’s often out of reach for couples working with a more typical wedding budget - and that’s exactly why I created Irish Wedding Blueprint.

I’ve packaged up the tools, systems, and guidance I use with my own clients to help you plan a celebration that feels thoughtful, personal, and beautifully put together - without falling into the typical purple hotel function room trap.

With the right support, you can make confident decisions, avoid common money-wasting mistakes, and create a wedding day that feels like you - not a compromise.

I’m Kristine - planner, designer, and calm in the chaos.

I’ve worked in weddings for well over a decade, starting with florals and styling, and now full-service planning and design for destination weddings and multi-day celebrations. I didn’t come into this industry chasing trends or Instagram likes – I built my expertise by being on-site, solving real problems, and learning what actually matters on a wedding day.

Over the years I’ve managed everything from intimate elopements to large-scale weddings with layered design and complex logistics. My approach is calm, organised, and highly visual – I care just as much about how your day feels as how it looks. That means smooth pacing, a great guest experience, and a natural flow from morning to night – while making sure you don’t have to worry about anything except enjoying your day.

I created Irish Wedding Blueprint because I know how hard it is to find trustworthy, practical planning advice when you're working with a realistic budget – especially in a sea of Pinterest inspiration from six-figure weddings, TikTok tips from one-time brides, and basic, surface-level checklists that don’t go far enough. What I offer is simple by design — spreadsheets, checklists, timelines — but these are the tools I’ve developed and refined over years of planning real weddings. They’re the same systems I use with my own clients, now made available to help you plan with clarity, confidence, and purpose.


I also know how hard it can be to truly relax and enjoy the day if you don’t have a planner making sure all the little details you so lovingly brought to life are actually carried out – and that’s exactly what these tools are here to support.

Through Irish Wedding Blueprint, I offer digital planning tools, a blog full of practical wedding tips, and the option to book a one-to-one consultation if you need expert support along the way.

Everything is designed to help you plan smarter, spend with confidence, and create a celebration that feels personal and well thought out. If you’d like honest, helpful planning advice straight to your inbox twice a month, you’re very welcome to sign up for my newsletter below.
