\"Bandstand<\/p>\n

Oh my word folks, what a gorgeous wedding<\/a> I have in-store today! WWW followers Mark and Nicole were hitched on the 7th November 2020 in a bandstand at Duthie Park<\/a> in Aberdeen, Scotland<\/a>. Their wedding was nothing short of spectacular and even though their day was micro, it had maximum<\/em> impact, love and joy. Yes \u2728<\/p>\n

As autumn weddings<\/a> go, this was truly special. There were magnificent autumnal flower arrangements around the bandstand, which added such wow-factor. Then there were the super stylish outfits Mark and Nicole wore, swoon! I have a funny feeling you are going to adore this bandstand wedding.<\/p>\n

Bandstand Wedding<\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Mark proposed to me on a trip to Edinburgh in December 2018. We take our daughter, Penny there every year at christmas time and it has grown to be a special place for us. We were getting ready to leave the hotel for the day when Penny handed me a card. I had just submitted my semesters work for university, so I thought it would be something to say well done. However, I opened it and the card was Mark asking me to marry him. We decided to celebrate with M&S cocktails in a can on the Princes Street ferris wheel, but we got one loop round when I freaked out at the height and needed to get off. So not as magical as we envisioned, but a funny time to look back on.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

Our original plan was to marry in the David Welch Winter gardens in Duthie Park, so the vision was always an abundance of florals and colour. Once our plans changed (due to covid) we wanted to bring the vision outside to the band stand in Duthie Park.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

Mark wanted a suit as he\u2019s never felt himself in a traditional kilt. His suit is Lambretta from Slaters in Aberdeen. Shirt and accessories from H&M.<\/p>\n

I had a struggle finding the perfect dress. I gambled and bought my dress online from Needle & Thread. It was perfect and once I added a sash that my sister wore on her wedding day it was complete.<\/p>\n

Penny wore a tutu from Six Stories Bridal, Kickers boots and her jacket was H&M.<\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

Having the ceremony outdoors was a gamble, but it paid off and I don\u2019t think I felt the cold for all the adrenaline. It was very special arriving to the ceremony with my Dad driving an Austin Healey that he refurbished and rebuilt himself – and it looks so cool!<\/p>\n

I walked down the aisle to Yazoo – Only You<\/p>\n

We signed the register to See Downes & Lovebirds – Want You in my Soul<\/p>\n

And we walked down the aisle together to The Waterboys – The Whole of the Moon<\/p>\n

Mark is a dj and we met through the club he worked in. Music is a large part of our lives and these songs were time stamps of important memories throughout our relationship.<\/p>\n

Advice For Other Couples<\/h3>\n

When it comes to planning it is easy to get carried away, but try to remember what is important to you both and what you want on your wedding day.<\/p>\n

On the day, try to relax. And make sure someone has water\/drink handy as my mouth dried up just as I was ready to walk down the aisle!<\/p>\n
