Bold and beautiful Scottish castle wedding styling
Our 'New Romantics' cover shoot took place at Carlowrie Castle near Edinburgh. With a huge cast of talented suppliers and a fairytale location that felt straight out of a film set, it was quite the production.
Our models Maggie and Jordan needed very little direction though: they’re a real couple, and their chemistry and all-round good vibes shine through every frame we captured.

Looking to the past for wedding inspiration
Something old? The past certainly provided inspiration for some recent Scottish brides...

Scottish barn wedding venues
Scotland has blank-canvas byres, farms and steadings just waiting for your magic touch. There’s usually exposed beams, stone walls and a genuine countryside setting, paired with a blank canvas that you can truly make your own. Take a tour around some of the best.

What wedding invite dress codes actually mean
If a dress code is stated on a wedding invitation, it’s there for a reason: to create cohesion between guests and bridal party. Of course, with women’s attire allowing a lot of room for interpretation, knowing exactly what to wear isn’t always straightforward.
So, to help keep mothers of the marrier on the right track, the new issue 'decodes' the most common wedding-dress-code themes.

Weddingmaxxing: how to do it
Borrowed from the internet’s obsession with optimising life’s micro-details, weddingmaxxing isn’t about blowing your budget. It’s about focusing on solving the pain points and creating high-impact moments that guests actually notice and remember.
Some wedding pros advise how to spend your budget where it counts, and deliver an unforgettable guest experience in the process.
