I’m always looking for quirky ways to get out there and promote weddingdates.ie and get the brand out there to a larger audience. So, with the biggest race meeting in Ireland coming up attracting tens of thousands of visitors and fabulously dressed ladies sporting even more fantastic hats, I thought – what the hell, I HAVE to give this a shot!
No regular old hat would do me – I wanted something with a bit of pizazz, something that would stand out from the crowd and really scream wedding. And so we set about the task of making my hat….. The night before the Galway Races! Surprisingly, it turned out brilliantly, and with the help of industrial glue/cement – it managed to stay up and on my head for the whole day.
