Scottish Wedding Ideas - Charles Rennie Mackintosh

by Wendy

I recently went to a family Scottish wedding which was held in the House for Art Lovers in Glasgow, Scotland. The bride and groom were on a fixed wedding budget but still managed to pull off a truly magnificent wedding affair.

The happy newlyweds wanted a wedding in keeping with the Charles Rennie Mackintosh theme of the house. Each wedding guest had a fantasic time at the wedding.

The bride and groom chose to have a civil service which was held within the main area of the house. The brides choose a wedding dress in cream with a beautiful red flower design which draped down the front of the wedding dress in a vine style.

The groom and some family guests chose to wear to wear kilts in a black and grey tartan. Wedding photographs were taken outside in the grounds of the house for Art Lovers. Since the wedding was in autumn Mother Nature produced her own color theme of dark orange, reds, and golden autumn leaves changing colour from green to rust.

After the wedding photographs were taken. All the wedding party went back inside to be seated for the wedding feast. The meal consisted of three courses with tea and coffee offered at the end of the meal.

The wedding tables were circular in design with white table cloths. Each table had a tall vase in the middle of the table displaying beautiful purple lily flowers. Every guest also received a silver wedding favour box filled with love heart sweets . This wedding favor went down a treat with all the kids big and small around the room . A silver triangle shape revealed party poppers hidden inside. A second DIY wedding favor idea was bubbles.

As there was a balcony which opened out from the dining room, all the children had their own party outside blowing bubbles and eating the wedding favor sweets and making heaps of noise with the wedding party poppers.

Outside on the balcony, the teenagers were being entertained. The adults were treated to a piece of wedding cake which was placed inside a wedding cake favor box with the Charles Rennie Mackintosh name on the outside of the cake box. Placed on the wedding tables for the adults to enjoy with their coffee was also shortbread and some homemade tablet.
