07 Dec, 2024Our Real Wedding
I gave Ryan a '3 year deadline' to propose. We went to St Andrews for an anniversary overnight the night to celebrate 3 years. On the beach at sunset the day before his deadline in freezing cold sand, he got down on one knee and popped the question!
We knew we wanted to plan a wedding unlike any we had been to before and wanted the day to be full of fun! After viewing Kinkell Byre we cancelled our other appointments and booked to go back with our parents to secure our date.
On the hunt for suppliers we used a brief 'something a bit different'. We both arrived in a vintage VW camper. Our caterer helped us plan a big roast, served to us by guests of our choosing as a surprise! We hired a nine hole mini golf course and presented a trophy at the end of the night to the course champion. Had a fusball table and UNO stations throughout the drinks reception and even managed to get a snow machine to bring the festive spirit!
I've always been a glitter lover so when choosing my dress I knew I wanted to sparkle. The girls at BridesInTheCity in Glasgow knew exactly how to fit the brief. My dress 'Venus' ended up being so perfect for me that it fit perfectly without any alterations.

We ended up with spare fabric from the kilt making that was made into hand fasting ties and a ring cushion by the groom's mum!
The décor in the venue was show stopping! The Christmas trees and venue lighting were gorgeous and the florals by Thistle Flower Weddings were breath-taking! Yvonne made a custom archway for us to get married in front of and candle lit the aisle and top table. The centre pieces were a great mix of heights and textures that brought a festive spirit without being to 'Christmassy'. I gave Yvonne free reign with the Bouquets and button holes and they just looked gorgeous.
We got married on the day of Storm Darragh and it put a stop to lots of our photo plans, we braved the cold and wind for twenty minutes but our photographer, Dougi McMillan easily spied some great inside spaces to get family pics.
Our day was so perfectly completed with a night on the dancefloor, Manhattan wedding band just kept the party going all night, the dancefloor was never empty. The guys knew exactly how to match the vibes and were so quick to change songs/styles to keep things going. A couple of ceilidh dances mixed in throughout the night gave us the Scottish wedding feel without exhausting everyone up front. Trying to do Strip the Willow in my dress and nearly breaking a few necks in the process is a memory I think everyone will laugh about for a long time to come.
We would not change a single thing about our day, we were so glad we did exactly what we wanted and incorporated the unique things that made our day all about us.
