Where to begin planning a blank-canvas wedding

If you want to have complete creative control, a dry-hire setting allows you to finesse every single element you wish.

Avoid overwhelm from the beginning with the guidance of our ‘how to plan a blank-canvas wedding’ feature.


Check out some blank-canvas barns, byres, stables and steading wedding venues in Scotland


We highlight Scottish venues that boast stunning architectural or interior features that’ll make for incredible photos, including Mar Hall Golf & Spa Resort, Boclair House and Achnagairn Castle.

We also check out popular Glasgow wedding venue Òran Mór and Perthshire barn venue The Byre at Inchyra in person.

Looking for wedding dress and kilt inspiration? 

We spent the day at new Glasgow wedding venue The Exchange for a bride and groom photoshoot that shows how removable elements, hair and makeup can segue outfits from day to night. It features dresses from Eleganza Sposa and Kudos Bridal Dunfermline alongside kilts from McCalls Highlandwear and MacGregor and MacDuff.

Don’t underestimate the power of accessories to switch up a look either. You'll find lots of them in our edit of cute bridal bags, gorgeous gloves, statement earrings and more.

Real Scottish wedding ideas  

Our features chatting to recent newlyweds are full of inspiration: from the couple who DIY'd as much as they could (the bride even made her own dress!), to the groom who got properly involved in finessing every last detail on his kilt outfit.

We also follow up with groom Declan, who kept a planning diary for us previously, to see how the big day turned out in the end.
