Wedding Date & Location:
December 31, 2024 in Scotland
What was the vision for your wedding?:
Our vision was to create a warm winter vibe. I wanted to incorporate a feel of Christmas while also giving the lush green of Scotland and the warm light of New Years Eve. Because our vendors, especially our amazing venue, were so incredible and collaborative we were able to have that perfect look. The venue has candles and greenery everywhere.
How did it go on the day-of?:
The day was perfect. The staff of the venue made sure that by the time my wedding day rolled around my responsibilities were over and they took care of the timing, any issues that arose they handled. There are aspects of the day which you can’t plan for but if you select your vendors carefully, those unknowns don’t seem as daunting. We ended up having a traditional Scottish ceremony which was so fun to participate in and resulted in some beautiful pictures.
What is your #1 tip to future brides?:
Have fun wedding planning. Wedding planning is exhausting and stressful but my husband and I would make nights out of it where we’d order in take out or buy cake slices to try together, or even just open a nice bottle of Prosecco and work our way through our task list. It made the stressful part of wedding planning something to look forward to.
