Such a wonderful evening at the @keeshotel Wedding Showcase last night! The hotel looked fab thanks to the talents of @ultimatetouches. Everything from gorgeous canapés to the newly refurbished honeymoon suite was simply stunning. Thank you to all the exhibitors who took part - check out my highlights for info. And thank you to all the lovely couples who came along and found their wedding suppliers. So delighted to be asked to work with Kees Hotel, such a brilliant team. Also shout out to @gmcmonagle for covering the event. Until next time Carina x #teambrideevents #weddingshowcase #donegalweddingvenue #donegalbride #keeshotel #donegalweddingsupplier

Today was a good day. I pushed myself way out of my comfort zone and headed off to Dublin for the @confettimagazine Live event in the @morrisondublin all by myself! My husband is probably the only person who knows how anxious I get when I’m going somewhere I’m not familiar with. I usually try to go ahead and see the lay of the land first. I hate not knowing where the door is, where exactly I’m going, exactly what will be happening etc The thought of walking into a room and talking to people I don’t know FILLS ME WITH ANXIETY. But all my favourite instagram gals where gonna be there and I really really wanted to go. So I did it. I was terrified walking in (and made a tit of myself by walking into a dead end but I blame the poor signage in the hotel 😅) and I clung to my phone like my life depended on it BUT over the course of the day I managed to introduce myself to some lovely people that I’ve wanted to meet for ages. And although I got stupidly tongue tied I was very proud of myself! If you know me and you’ve read all this (well done 😅) you might be surprised as I come across and confident and capable, I’ve spoken on radio, appeared on TV, hosted my own events in front of 200 people but when it comes to just being me, introducing me, promoting myself - I need work 😅 But every time I do it, it gets a little easier and I just need to keep pushing. The girls I met today where lovely and generous with their time and didn’t dismiss me! I’m not sure what I felt the need to share but I found today to be emotional for many reasons so thought I’d share a little of me. Just a little 😘 #teambridethoughts #everyoneisonlyhuman #anxietyproblems #teambrideloves
