Fairytale Weddings in Scotland

If you're looking for a totally unique spot to host your destination wedding, look no further than Scotland. I don’t know what better way to describe this magical place than to just come right out and say it. FAIRYTALE through and through. And as cliche as this may sound, one glimpse of the following options to be wed in Scotland and I think you might agree. It’s not hard to see why celebrities and even members of the Royal Family choose to tie the knot in Scotland, especially when it is the law here that wedding ceremonies can take place almost anywhere - you are only really limited by the stretch of your imagination! 

Castle and Stately Home Wedding Venues

If you are all about classic style and old-world charm then you are going to flip your lid over this idea: say “I do!” at loch-side castle ruins surrounded by majestic mountains.... so unbelievably picturesque, right? Scotland has an abundance of castles, with over 300 in Aberdeen City and Shire alone, they are perfect for both ceremonies and receptions and they can often be hired to include exclusive-use accommodation... how amazing is that? Imagine having your first meal as husband and wife in a sumptuous grand hall by a roaring fire before an evening of traditional Scottish ceilidh dancing and you’ll realize that Scotland’s historic buildings lend themselves well to romantic occasions. 

City and Town Wedding Venues

Scotland’s cities and towns provide the ideal mix of Scottish tradition and luxurious splendor alongside excellent accommodation and travel options for your guests.

If you’re dreaming of an urban type of nuptials, Glasgow weddings are ideal for a cosmopolitan vibe. The ceremony can take place at stunning venues by the banks of the River Clyde, in trendy West End boutique hotels and even at famous city landmarks such as The House for an Art Lover (designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh). 
An Edinburgh wedding offers options like the exquisite Georgian townhouse, a ceremony in the shade of lush trees in the Royal Botanic Garden    Edinburgh or even to be wed in the beautiful chapel at the iconic Edinburgh Castle. 

Be wowed by the sense of occasion at Gretna Green in Dumfries & Galloway near the Scottish border, which has been the romantic location of weddings for eloping couples since 1754. 

Unique Weddings

Keen to do something extra special on your wedding day? There are many unusual ideas which you might not have considered possible! Arrive in style to your reception by seaplane, be wed in a Highland red deer park, step aboard a boat to celebrate your nuptials on Loch Lomond or even choose a spot which holds a special place in your memories, as in Scotland you can be married almost anywhere - let your imagination go wild and book somewhere different.

Scottish Traditions

Many couples feel drawn to having a Scottish wedding, often because they have fond memories of this romantic nation or they have Scottish roots that they want to celebrate. There are plenty of ways to add some authentic Celtic twists to your wedding, from sourcing a supplier to create celtic wedding dresses, thistle corsages and kilts, to entertaining Scottish wedding traditions which will bring a smile to everyone’s face on the big day. Ohh my!... Scotland has the inner princess in me squealing with delight! What about you? In fact, in 2014 Scotland is celebrating “The Year of Homecoming,” encouraging those with Scottish heritage to “come home” and experience its five themes surrounding the launch: active, food and drink, creative, natural and ancestry, all of which heighten any destination wedding or honeymoon.

Honeymoons

 

You may also wish to honeymoon in Scotland by booking romantic accommodations, or after your wedding, enjoy time touring the country with your guests. There's so much to see and do. Whether you're interested in touring castles or exploring the lush countryside, Scotland has plenty to offer those with all interests. Go sailing, kayaking, white water rafting, golfing or fishing. Take a bike ride or stroll through one of the country's beautiful parks. If you're looking for a destination wedding and/or honeymoon spot full of fascinating museums, incredible historical attractions and unique cafes and restaurants, Scotland is for you. This year, Scotland is celebrating “The Year of Natural Scotland,” inspiring visitors with its outstanding natural beauty, landscapes and biodiversity. With that said, there’s no better time to experience the destination’s natural splendor.

And keep Scotland in mind for the many wedding anniversaries to come.

Find Your Perfect Honeymoon Destination

Don't just close your eyes and stick your finger on a map hoping to come up with a great honeymoon destination at random. It’s worth the extra effort to put some thought and time into deciding on the perfect honeymoon destination for you and your fiancé. Here are five steps to help you do it:

• Talk about what you want your honeymoon to be like. Do you want to relax on a warm tropical beach, take a cruise with non-stop activities to participate in, visit a historical European city with many sight-seeing opportunities, or climb a scenic mountain together? Most people think that taking a honeymoon involves a tropical island. While this is a great option for many couples, it may just not be right for you.  

Remember, you can take lots of trips together after you're married, but you only take one honeymoon. Make it something you'll both love and remember! Consider activities that involve romance, adventure, excitement, natural beauty, and relaxation. It’s best to start talking about honeymoon options soon after you’ve set a wedding date so you can start planning early!

• Talk about a budget. It’s important to have limits on your budget, but it’s also important to know that most honeymoon experiences can be tailored to fit most any budget, both large and small. This includes cruises, tropical resorts, and mountain getaways. You just have to think creatively and do some research! For instance, if you're on a tight budget, you can travel in the shoulder or the low season, when everything will be cheaper. You can stay at all-inclusive resorts which tend to be less expensive and often have special rates. You also have the benefit of knowing what your total bill will be at the beginning of your honeymoon, which makes planning on a budget easier. Planning is crucial, as you don’t want to find yourself having money arguments during your honeymoon. Instead, during the planning process, you can decide which aspects of your honeymoon are a “must have” and which can be cut. With a budget guideline, you are less likely to max out your credit cards. Instead of savoring memories of your honeymoon when you return home, you'll have to worry about new credit card payments, and that's never a good thing!
• Narrow down your list. Based on what you'd like to do on your honeymoon and what your budget looks like, narrow down a list of possible honeymoon destinations. It's best to have two or three destinations on your list before you start doing more extensive research. Even if you think a place might be a little beyond your budget, put it on your list because you may be able to find ways to make the most exotic location affordable. Once your list is narrowed down, it's time to research what each location has to offer. What sets one destination apart from another? Which location has the best amenities and scenery? Are the specific activities (that you want to) available at these locations? Are there any package deals available? Can you take advantage of lower shoulder-season rates? 

• Make a mock honeymoon registry. Making up a honeymoon registry can actually be a great way to simplify your honeymoon planning and to help you narrow down your final destination. Honeymoon registries can be a treasure trove of travel and honeymoon information. You can evaluate different destinations, dining, fun activities and excursions.  We highly recommend using HoneymoonPixie.com as there is no obligation and no cost to set-up a honeymoon registry, and you have access to all their free resources. The great thing is that you can do this exercise for multiple honeymoon destinations that you are considering. And when you’ve made your final selection, your honeymoon registry will be ready to publish.
• Now decide! After performing the research described above, you should have a clear picture of what each location has to offer. Based on your preferences and budget, you can select the honeymoon destination that is best for you. Don’t agonize over the details. What’s important is that you will be together with your spouse and enjoying each moment on your honeymoon!  Once you’ve made your final choice for your honeymoon destination, you can publish your honeymoon registry. The great part about your honeymoon registry is that you'll often get gifts ahead of your wedding, which can help you prepay for airfare and accommodations. Other guests may gift you a fun excursion, which you otherwise might not have taken – if it wasn’t factored into your budget. Overall, a honeymoon registry is a win-win for all parties.
