WE NEED YOUR HELP

Our campaign with the Scottish Wedding Industry Alliance is featuring engaged couples who have had to change their wedding plans, put their lives together on hold due to the constant changes and uncertainty.

We want to see Facebook, Instagram, Twitter pages and stories full of couples photos holding “OUR LIFE TOGETHER IS ON HOLD” poster.
We will share and use some on our socials.

A little progress!

A wee welcome change to the regulations for music at Scottish wedding ceremonies!
Even though it contradicts the separate hospitality guidance, live music has always been allowed at the wedding ceremony, but there's no longer a specific exclusion for blown instruments (pipes / woodwind etc.), and some (non-communal) singing can go on if that floats your boat! Here's the link so you know it's legit, as opposed to something that's been randomly posted onto a fb group somewhere!! Let us know if you're confused or need a hand finding answers - our Alan is an authorised celebrant and therefore all in about the guidance and regulations almost daily!

Sharing a drink from the Quaich is a really popular gesture in Scottish wedding ceremonies. It's often used to formally recognise and celebrate the fact that when a couple marry, their two separate families now become joined together as one.

Although Covid has meant that only the happy couple can currently share a drink from the Quaich, this lovely gesture can still include family in your wee wedding - with a bit of tweaking!

If you are nominating one person from each family to take part, then you could give them a personal engraved glass (a nice memento of your day!) - they can pour a little portion of their drink into the quaich, and keep some in the glass so they can take a drink alongside the happy couple.

Another variation on this is to have the happy couple share a drink from the Quaich, and then, making sure all of the guests at your intimate wedding have a glass, invite everyone to join in a toast to celebrate the new bond between the families!

However you choose to include the Quaich in your wedding, it's a memorable and meaningful way to celebrate the richness of human relationships, and the deep love, trust and connections that keep us all going through the worst and best of times ❤️

Drop us a message if you'd like to discuss your wedding plans 😊

Meet the team...introducing Cait!

Cait was 5 when AWU launched onto the wedding market. She has shadowed Mum throughout the years - being small made her a great asset to the team when chair covers were in fashion and she was nearer the ground than the oldies! Cait has also worked as part of the Delicious Team for many years now and enjoys the adrenalin rush of a wedding day! But with a passion for venue dressing and sharing Roni’s love for value for money Cait recently took charge of “Craikie’s” AWU’s Hire range which she looks after at the same time as studying for her degree!
The collection at Craikie’s is like its manager, quirky, full of fun and ever evolving!
In her role within the team Cait is affectionately known as

Meet the team...introducing Roni!

"Roni has spent her entire career excelling within the hospitality and events industry. Over 15 years, Roni gained extensive experience through taking on every role from personnel to finance to general manager. After being headhunted several times to develop and manage restaurants and hotels, Roni discovered a passion for weddings as she helped many a couple arrange their wedding day in her role as a general manager. Realising that couples needed more support than a venue coordinator can give, Roni took the plunge, and in 2007 launched her career as a freelance wedding planner!
Roni is a natural at event planning, and it shows in the many awards won by All Wrapped Up! Wedding planning takes organisation, vision, attention to detail - and great suppliers! Over the years, Roni has gathered the very best wedding professionals, many of them award winning, to bring together amazing events with ease and sophistication. Her priority is to deliver the very best experience for every couple, at the very best price! Roni has extensive knowledge of wedding traditions and hospitality etiquette, combined with the versatility and imagination to do things nobody has ever tried before! Her warm, friendly and professional approach allows her to build a great relationship with every couple, and bring their dreams into reality."

Some great news! Thank you to My Scottish Wedding for sharing!

FACE COVERING UPDATE

As we noted in our update of the rules back on the 9th October, the Scottish Government were reviewing the requirement for Face Coverings to be worn by the Couple getting married during the ceremony.

Today they announced that from tomorrow (Friday 16th October 2020) the changes to the Face Covering Regulations exempts the couple from having to wear these “during their indoor marriage ceremony or civil partnership registration, providing there is a partition or 2m can be maintained between the couple and other people.”
This isn’t showing in the wedding guidance yet, which is still to be updated but it is now reflected in the relevant legislation.
We never liked this rule, so are glad to see it is no longer required from tomorrow.
