A Scottish Wedding in the Borders of Scotland
|
Scottish weddings have long been popular
with couples who are of Scottish heritage but their popularity
is growing worldwide.
There is something mystical about the Scottish highlands and
Celtic symbols that attract admirers from all over the globe.
Many couples are now deciding to have a Scottish theme to their
wedding, even if they are not getting married in Scotland, and
Scottish wedding invitations are an essential part of the special
occasion.
Everyone can now add that touch of Celtic tradition by sending
Scottish wedding invitations. There is no set format for a Scottish
wedding invitation but there are some traditional aspects that
you can incorporate to add that authentic feel.
The most obvious of these is Scottish tartan. Each Scottish
clan, or family, has their own unique tartan design associated
with them and no Scottish wedding invitation would be complete
without a piece of this Scottish heritage.
It is worth researching some of the other Scottish wedding traditions
before deciding on the final design and content of your Scottish
wedding invitations.
Any wedding invitation is intended to give the guests a feel
for what type of event the big day is going to be. Perhaps you
want to include some Gaelic script, or incorporate the Celtic
knots into the perfect Scottish wedding invitation.

You may also want to continue the style of your Scottish wedding invitation into the Order of Service for the ceremony itself, menus and place cards for the reception or even thank you cards for your guests.
The internet is a great place to start if you are looking for inspiration to create your perfect Scottish wedding invitation.
On a modern style of
Scottish wedding invitation, you could have a family crest emblazoned on each
card, with a bow made from the family tartan.
However, if you really want to
create a special Scottish wedding invitation then why not have scroll-style
invitations, tied with your clan s tartan?
The choices are endless and there are
numerous options to include tartan on a Scottish wedding invitation.
A border
designed using the tartan can add a stylish and personalized feel to your
Scottish wedding invitations. Of course, tartan is not the only traditionally
Scottish article that can be added to a Scottish wedding invitation.

There are
several other items that are associated with Scotland that would be perfect
adornments for any Scottish wedding invitation.
The thistle, for example, is the
national flower of Scotland and is often seen emblazoned on crests and flags.
The cross of St Andrew, with the white cross on a blue background, is well-known
as the national flag of Scotland and can often provide the inspiration for the colours of your Scottish wedding invitation if you are undecided. |
| Group photos
are essential as a memory of a fabulous occasion.
Top photographers can be expensive and you should "cut your coat
according to your cloth".
Guests always carry their own cameras with them and they should
be asked to email their photos to you. File sharing sites like
"Dropbox" can also be useful for this type of purpose,
maybe more suited to the more technical among us for opening
an account and for signing in and uploading / sharing your files |
