We chatted to the owner of IrishRedCarpets.com last week and here is how is went:
RW: Why does a bride choose a red carpet?
IRC: The bride and groom might choose to have the red carpet to make their ceremony venue a little bit more special. Our carpets are brand new and they can really make a difference in any church or venue. Some couples also choose to have one if the current carpet or lino in their church is a bit tired.
RW: Is it really necessary though?
IRC: Nothing is absolutely necessary, it is entirely up to the couple what they would like out of their big day. We are very aware that the current economic climate will tighten up a lot of belts, so we offer a competitive rate for our services.
RW: Explain your typical day with a wedding.
IRC: Most of the time we will visit the church prior to the wedding day. On the actual day itself, we travel to the venue. Lay the carpet (It takes two), and ensure it is secure and nobody will be tripping over it! We wait for the bride to arrive and then during the mass, we might pop off for a coffee. After the mass and everyone has left, we roll up and get ready to go home.
RW: Have you ever had any unusual requests?
IRC: Well we’ve been asked to cover and entire room with our carpet, the room was for a reception.
RW: Can you cover small aisles?
IRC: Yes, we have a range of carpets, from the short to the very long.
RW: How about a discount for RealWeddings.ie users?
IRC: Of course! Just mention RealWeddings.ie when you are booking and we will look after you.
RW: Any advice to brides and grooms?
IRC: Just have a wonderful day, and if you are looking at getting a carpet contact us and we can guide you through everything.
RW: One more thing, can you show us a recent wedding photo you did?
IRC: Sure, here you go.
