What makes a Scottish wedding a Scottish wedding? We know!

Scotland is a country of style, a country of great culture and a country with a great identity.

From Brave Heart to Celebrity Weddings there is a definite pull to our shores. Figures published by the General Register Office for Scotland show that in Scotland marriage is on the rise, with 28,480 marriages in 2010 – 956 more than in 2009.

So to what makes a Scottish Wedding…. Scottish?

It has a lot to do with the Scottish people, we have a history of being one of the most welcoming countries in the world and it’s a fact we hold dear. Scottish weddings place huge importance on the sense of family and the tradition of Auld Lang Syne at the end of a wedding reception makes this even more prevalent with everyone coming together. Whether that’s the wearing of traditional Highland dress… the Kilt, there is nothing better at a wedding than seeing the laddies in kilts.

When considering wedding rings Celtic knots are very beautiful and a stunning way to display heritage. The playing of the Bagpipes is great tradition with “Highland Wedding” being very popular. As well as being piped in and out of church or Venue ceremony, being piped into the meal and toasted by the piper with the Quaich is common.

A Ceilidh for your Reception is great fun and a brilliant way to bring two families together, being flung about on the dance floor is a great icebreaker. There are many ways that heritage can be brought into the wedding day. Thistles are popular as part of a wedding bouquet and table centre pieces and they make a striking statement and tartan linens can be used to give that added Scottish touch.

We welcome you warmly and I would urge anyone to consider marrying in our beautiful country. Have a look at our Latest News & Offers for just a few ideas.

"'Weddings up 64%' is probably the most unlikely headline of the year, but add one word and it's completely true. That word is 'humanist'." Julian Baggini, The Herald

Freedom to choose venue Couples are effectively free to marry wherever they choose and HSS wedding ceremonies have taken place on beaches and mountains, in keeps and castles, grand hotels, social clubs and the gardens of people's own homes. Celebrants have their own view of ‘safe and dignified’, Munros and little boats come to mind, it is highly individual and a couple who have a specific and potentially unusual setting in mind should raise this with their celebrant early in their discussions.
