Kerry priests clamp down on couples saying it with flowers

COUPLES prepared to splash out extra thousands on wedding day frills are being urged to keep it simple by priests in Kerry.

Clergy attached to St Mary’s Cathedral are asking couples to use flowers sparingly and in a way that does not obscure the design of the altar.

Recently, a major wedding consultation day, with top wedding planners present, was held in the Brehon Hotel in Killarney. There, the focus was on extras but the church wants a more low-key approach.
