Real Wedding: Libby and David III

A few more details from David and Libby’s wedding:

The day was wonderfully Scottish. Bagpipes were played on the church steps (making all the hairs on the back of my neck stand up), the majority of the men were in kilts and the evening reception was a Ceilidh. What a hoot! The music was fab, it was great to see so many guests up and dancing and hilarious trying to get all the steps right. Plus it was super sociable due to all the impromptu partner swapping (my favourite move was ‘the basket’ where two couples make a kind of circle and the guys swing the girls up, off the floor – it was like being on a funfair ride!)

In place of the first dance the bride, groom and their bridal party dancing a ‘Strip the Willow’, another high speed ceilidh dance.

Finally, the stationery. Below are the orders of service which were little concertinas containing all neccessary information along with some lovely shots of the couple and the Scottish Highlands. Aren’t they lovely? I’m in love with the colours they used here.

And last but not least are these little concertina beauties that were used to decorate the tables. Cute childhood photos galore!

Congratulations David and Libby!

Real Wedding: Libby and David II

So next for the floral details. Libby and David’s entire wedding was beautifully understated (Meg would definitely approve) and a professional florist didn’t go anywhere near the celebration. My super talented cousin arranged the bouquets and the cake topper whilst my equally creative and talented aunt made the bridesmaid’s gowns and arranged the church pedestal. All the flowers were bought from the flower market whilst the table centers were miniature ‘trees’ from Ikea decorated with tiny sparkling beads (sorry no picture I’m afraid, my photography skills just didn’t cut it!).

Real Wedding: Libby and David

Just back from Edinburgh having spent the weekend being a guest at the most lovely wedding. Lots (and lots) of photos to follow but first of all I wanted to make the most of these beautiful shots. What a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful bride! I love her 1940s style hair.
