Warm Celestial Wedding<\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

My husband bought a ring about 3 months before this that I had talked about so much. He kept waiting for an opportunity to propose but said he couldn’t wait any longer. We went for dinner the day before his birthday in a restaurant<\/strong> we loved and he asked me just before dessert. <\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

The wedding vision massively changed over time. But eventually, the vision was very much celestial warmth<\/strong>. We wanted a modern rustic wedding with lots of warmth, gold and greenery. Very romantic, whimsical and importantly… fun!<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

All we will say is… we wanted to have a budget wedding<\/a>. We did so much DIY which took so much time. We have no regrets. It made so many things special but it added stress and took up our free time. We quickly learned that while you can have a wedding on a budget… that you can’t necessarily have the wedding YOU want on a budget.<\/p>\n

We were able to comfortably make sacrifices and penny-pinch to afford our wedding. We never felt like we were struggling or missing out to make our day happen.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

The Cow Shed Crail. Absolutely stunning and we knew pretty much straight away it was the venue for us.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

I remember when I first got engaged, everyone asked me about a dress and I had no idea. I looked for what felt like an eternity but I saw nothing that felt like “me”. I started to think I was going to get married in a bin bag. I started to notice I liked the same silhouette over time and ran with that.<\/p>\n

One day I was scrolling and scrolling through Instagram and I saw my dress. I KNEW from day 1 that it was my dress. I hunted it down and realised there was only one place in Scotland that stocked it and had to try it on. That was the start of the celestial vibes.<\/p>\n

I also knew from day 1 I wanted a halo instead of a veil and I knew exactly where from… it was just a matter of deciding. A celestial halo just made sense and the rest of the jewellery followed. I wanted to have a part of Nathan with me and some crystals because I love crystals so I got the small bracelet with “N” on it and crystals. I got all my accessories from Etsy.<\/p>\n

Watters designs – Willowby Stars Align<\/strong>. From Ivory Grace Bridal<\/strong> in Aberdeen. <\/p>\n

Nathan’s kilt was from Gordon Nicholson Kiltmakers<\/strong> in Edinburgh. It was actually a wee stroke of fate as they had a wee display in IKEA one day when we were having a stroll and he picked up a card and decided to book an appointment and ended up loving the shop.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Nathan didn’t have a family tartan but he loved the black watch tartan and just knew that was the tartan for him. He picked his accessories because he loves stags and our Scottish culture and got a handmade skindu made by a friend with an antler handle. The groomsmen’s kilts were from the same place!<\/p>\n

The bridesmaids all got dresses from David’s Bridal<\/strong> in Glasgow. I knew what style I wanted but I was very honest with the girls and said it was a long day and they had to be comfortable and felt like they looked amazing. So I was open to them all having completely different dresses if they wanted that.<\/p>\n

However! Luckily they all kinda liked the style and colour I liked! My sister in law chose a slightly different style but it still matched perfectly. <\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

The ceremony was performed by our amazing Humanist Mr Gary Smith. Gary told the story of us as a couple which was what we wanted. We loved when we attended weddings and heard the couple’s journey.<\/p>\n

My (Rebecca’s) stepdad read two readings during the course of the ceremony). A reading excerpt from Broken Arrow (1950) and from ‘Wild Awake’ by Hilary T Smith. Nathan and I also wrote our own vows because we wanted it to be personal, funny and we wanted every opportunity to connect and remember this day was about us. <\/p>\n
