Weddings take months and even years of intricate planning. Myself and many others believe the maximum number of guests authorised at wedding ceremonies should be increased. The number of guests permitted at weddings should be calculated according to venue capacity.

Great tip from our Photographer ✨ after he managed to capture this lovely wee moment of ours 🥰

Tip for new wedding photographers, keep your eyes on the bride and groom at the end of the groom's speech, there's almost always a lovely wee moment to catch.

💍BRIDAL GIFTS💍
•
A special moment shared with my bridesmaids, mums and gran - opening my wedding day gift from the Groom.
•
Desperately trying not to get emotional (as we were minutes away from leaving the house) I opened a beautifully presented box.
The box contained a card that said ‘Fancy getting married later?’ (which completely broke the emotional ice) with the nicest message from my husband to be, reminding me why I was marrying him.
It also contained my favourite perfume that I was wearing the night we first met and the most beautiful engraved heart with the date of our wedding ❤️
•
I quickly found a safety pin and attached to my bouquet - it was too special not have on me when we got married.

💞Gifts for each other💞
•
It’s nice to give your other half a little minding on the morning of the wedding, after all you are the reason there is a wedding.
•
You can use this to let your partner know that during what may be a nervous and stressful time getting ready, that you are thinking about them. You could give them some words of encouragement or reassurance in a nice card, it doesn’t need to cost a lot of money.
The list important thing is that it is something thoughtful and meaningful to you both 💕

✨Dad’s✨
•
We gifted the dads personalised cuff links to wear on the day.
I also had a message printed on a handkerchief for my dad to dry his ‘happy tears’ 😢
•
This was with the same idea that they could wear on the day, but also have to keep.
•
The dads also received a box of Lindt chocolate golf balls which included a voucher for a round of golf at St Andrews famous Old Course, during the speeches. The dads didn’t get the same pampering as the mums, so it was only fair to help them tick off a bucket list course.
•
The gifts can be expensive, so gifting an I.O.U. Voucher is a good way to buy yourself some time to save up for the gift after the wedding.

🌸 Mammas 🌸
•
We gifted the mums personalised boxes (same as the bridesmaids) which also contained a beautiful piece of Swarovski jewellery.
•
This was with the same idea that they could wear it on the day, but also have to keep.
•
By the time the mums were ready and opening their boxes, the photographer was with me getting the bridal prep shots, so unfortunately we don’t have a picture of the mums with their bracelets.
•
The mums also received the most beautiful presentation flowers by during the speeches.
•
It really was an absolute pleasure having both my mum and my husbands mum with me on the morning of the wedding 💕
•

✨ Parents Gifts✨
•
We also gave the parents personalised gifts!
•
Keep a look out for ideas 👀
•

26/07/2020

✨Groomsmen ✨
•
We gifted each of our groomsmen with personalised boxes which contained personalised Harris Tweed hip flasks.
•
Again, this was something they could keep, but also use on the day.
•
This created a buzz amongst the groomsmen and they couldn’t wait to get them filled up ✨
•

23/07/2020

💕 Bridesmaids 💕
•
We gifted each of our bridesmaids with personalised boxes.
They contained Swarovski earrings, MAC lipstick (for topping up on the day) and a personalised card.
•
It was important to me that I gave the girls both something they could wear on the day, but also have to keep forever to always remind them how thankful I am to have them as special friends.
•
I loved the excitement these boxes created, which added to the special memories made in the morning ✨

✨Thank You!✨
•
It is really easy to get caught up in your wedding bubble.
It’s important to remember there may have been a few people on that journey with you on the sidelines,
in particular - your bridal party!
•
Whatever way you chose to say thank you, it’s nice to acknowledge and show your appreciation.
•
Hope you find some inspiration from the next few posts which shows how we decided to thank our closest friends and family 💛

🥂PROSECCO🥂
•
There’s always time for Prosecco!
•
It’s really important on the morning of your wedding that you factor in some down time - potentially a chance to reflect, gather thoughts and most importantly BREATHE!
•
There will be lots happening round about you in the morning and it can be quite overwhelming so it’s okay just to take a minute.
After all you are getting ready to marry the love of your life 💕

Flowers 🌸🌿
•
I chose the lovely Laura at due to the very natural and romantic theme to all her designs. Specifically her gypsophila which was the whole theme to our decor (will be revealed in decor posts).
•
Laura met with us a few times along our wedding planning journey to make sure she was providing flowers that would fit perfectly with our theme and colour scheme.
•
Laura also provided the beautiful gypsophila for my bridesmaids hair, buttonholes, corsages and thank you presentation flowers for the mums. •
Laura was honest about being clever with the design to save money by reusing the flowers at different parts of the day.
•
Laura was such a friendly face to see on the morning if the wedding when she arrived at 7am to deliver the bouquets before heading to our venue.
The best part was Laura FaceTiming me when I was on my way to show me all of her beauty of work and make sure everything was placed where we wanted it.
•
I couldn’t recommend a nicer florist with the most beautifully fresh flowers.

Hair 💇🏻‍♀️
•
Laura Slaven Hair was a joy to work with on the lead up to the wedding and on the day.
•
My bridesmaids, my mum and I all had hair trials to try out the potential looks with Laura carrying these out early morning before setting off to another wedding.
•
Laura also offered to come to my house the night before the wedding to put the bridesmaids hair in pin curls to save time on the morning of the wedding. This was done at no extra cost and we had lots of girly chat at the same time 💞
•
Laura was also part of my big moment putting my dress on and worked around me (and my height) to get my veil placed in the perfect position.
•
Contact Laura for very reasonably priced wedding hair and a lovely girl to go along with it.

Make-up 💄
•
I was lucky enough to be able to secure Katie Malin Make-Up for my wedding make-up.
Katie has won numerous wedding industry awards and has been doing my make-up for years. From special birthdays to my graduation she’s been there for it all.
•
Make-up was one thing I wasn’t going to compromise on and needed someone who was 100% reliable and that I could trust.
•
Katie started at 6am as there were 9 of us to be beautified and I didn’t want the risk of running late. The morning ran like clockwork and that was thanks to Katie working so efficiently.
•
I booked a trail with Katie to ensure my wedding make-up had bridal vibes rather than full glam, which is what I would usually go for.
Katie will work to your individual needs and ensure your happy with the end result before finishing.
•
Check out Katie’s Facebook/instagram page for all the bridal inspiration ✨

Wedding morning prep 💞
•
It was really important that
my bridesmaids and the mums felt special on our wedding morning.
•
I loved getting these personalised robes and slippers made so that we were all matching and that they could keep them forever.
•
They were both bought on Etsy.
The robes were and the slippers
•
They are both beautiful quality and photograph really well!

Videography Supplier 🎥
•
We were delighted to have Littlebox Wedding Films capture our day.
From bridal/groom preparations to the dancing - they caught it all.
•
They fitted naturally into our day and made us laugh when we were nervous and worked so well with our photographer Ross Alexander Photography (they are actually really good friends).
•
We received a 1 minute teaser clip 2 days after the wedding, a 5 minute highlights video and the full ceremony, speeches & first dance around 4 months after the wedding. The teaser & highlights kept us going and it was lovely to have one last thing to look forward to receiving from the wedding.
•
This style is called cinematic and again fitted perfectly with our relaxed, romantic theme for the day 💕

We are excited to share these amazing suppliers with you and provide tips on how to find the right supplier for you.
•
First up is our lovely Photographer .
He did an incredible job on the day and also producing the most beautiful photographs of our day.
We really felt like he was there as a friend and guest and joined in with all the fun.
•
All the pictures that will be shared were taken by Ross and you’ll see yourself why we chose him to fit with our relaxed vibe for the day.
•
P.S. The bridal party have been blurred out to keep them private, however I’m sure you can see how much fun we were all having here 💕
