With some new followers recently, I thought an int With some new followers recently, I thought an introduction might be needed so Hello followers and friends - I am Martina, of MartinaO. This year MartinaO turns 6, and since setting up the business I got married so wondering should I change the name to MartinaMc?! The O is for O'Riordan for those of you that may not know. 
.
The last 6 years have been a hive of activity including many ups and unfortunately many downs. When Covid hit I had the best person working for me and had to let her go. That was extremely hard and I know so many of you can relate. During that time I definitely considered leaving the wedding business completely and couldn't find the energy to "pivot" like so many others did. 
.
After months of difficult Zoom calls with clients and many tears, moved and cancelled dates - weddings moved to 2021 and 2022. Me and my hubby wanted to buy a house in 2020 but to do that I had to get a more stable job (for the bank!) and so started working as a Marketing Manager with a Law Firm. Yes! I am grateful for the job because it enabled us to buy our dream home with stunning views of Lough Derg, but the end of 2021 and 2022 was insane because I essentially had almost 2 full time jobs!
.
What kept me here? Easy - my couples (eternally thankful to you!). 2021 and 2022 reminded me that I LOVE WEDDINGS. I love seeing couples have a day that exceeds their expectations, that goes beyond their dreams. I love seeing people experiencing our culture and our rolling green hills. I love creating. I love seeing the love that they have for each other and these days were just magical because they (we!) had waited so long!
.
What now? It took a trip to Australia and Hawaii (i.e. a much needed break!) for me to realise that I needed to get back to weddings full time and that's how 2023 begins! Isn't that just business, you have ups and downs, successes and failures, you learn, you make mistakes but mostly you grow and you have the most amazing memories. 
.
That's it if you are still here! I look forward to working with you, planning with you, creating with you, and most of all experiencing it all with you!  Photo: @white_cat_studio
☘️☘️☘️Happy St. Patrick's Day!☘️☘️☘️ The reasons people choose #Ireland as their #destinationwedding location - Culture - Music - History - Architecture - Traditions - People - Castles - Whiskey - Ruins - Guinness - Craic - 40 Shades of Green! Did I miss anything? 
I love seeing couples choose Ireland, and I love creating that magical experience for them and their guests. I am proud to be Irish and proud to show off our country.

Signature Cocktails - yes please!! Loved creating Signature Cocktails - yes please!! Loved creating this Lavender Infused Champagne that of course tied in with our colours on the day. It is just these little details that can really make a difference. I even insisted on rose buds in the Champagne on our wedding day and they a) looked beautiful, and b) smelled amazing!

#weddingstylinginspo This is one of my favourites #weddingstylinginspo  This is one of my favourites. With your styling, make sure you have a clear colour palette. Think about your keywords, e.g. do you want a wilder look, or a more structured look? Are you thinking more elegant, or whimsical? And what texture can you add? I could frame this #bouquet , so much to look at! Also think about what other elements you could use e.g. ribbons, fruits, props etc.

#elopetoireland Yes, sometimes it might drizzle a #elopetoireland Yes, sometimes it might drizzle a little bit but isn't that what makes the memories! Our fabulous bride just wanted me under her umbrella and all I wanted was to keep the dress off the grass. A glass marquee, overlooking the fabulous scenery was worth it for the creative walk we had to take so that guests wouldn't see the #bride.
