What’s in Vogue 2010

ALTHOUGH the style of a wedding is very much suited to the couple who are getting married, there are always trends that come in and out of the wedding industry. People need only look back at the mini dresses of the 1960s, the flares of the 1970s and the puff sleeves of the 1980s and ’90s to see that. Today’s Press and Journal Your Wedding supplement looks at what’s in vogue for the 2010 wedding season.


1. Vintage

This trend has been in for a few years now, but shows no signs of stopping. Lace gowns, antique hair slides or brooches, bird-cage veils, vintage crockery – all are becoming more popular for adding a classic touch to weddings.

Combined with vintage, shorter dresses are also becoming more popular.

An emerging trend for the bride is to have the stems of her bouquet bound in ribbon and attach a brooch to the front of the ribbon. Whether a trinket picked up on holiday, a gift from a friend or a family heirloom, it adds a great personal touch.


2. Colour pops

No longer is the bridal palette limited to white, cream and ivory.

Splashes of colour really liven up a wedding, whether they be bright bridesmaid dresses, a colourful underskirt in a bride’s dress, a shocking tie or even a pair of blue shoes for luck.

If you usually wear bright red lipstick, or fuchsia nail varnish, why change for your wedding day? People would rather see the real you than someone you think you should be.


3. Mini bites

Gone are the days of the multi-tier cake. Now, couples are opting for a simple two-layer cake which can be served as dessert.

More popular than ever is the option of one small top cake with layers of individual cupcakes which can also double up as favours for the guests.

And forget the old fruit cake and marzipan staple – chocolate, carrot, red velvet and even hummingbird (coconut and pineapple) cakes are all popular choices.

A trend from the US which is becoming increasingly popular in the UK is the sweets table, where old-fashioned sweet jars are lined up with paper bags for guests to indulge their sweet tooth.


4. Fun

Couples looking to create a less formal atmosphere at their wedding are incorporating more and more fun factors into the day to create a party atmosphere.

Quizzes about the couple can be left in the middle of the table as an ice-breaker for guests to get to know each other.

Mini bottles of bubbles, or mini sparklers, are also popular table adornments.

Another trend coming over from the US is the use of a photo booth. Guests can pop in and take a photo of themselves and leave a message on the back as a modern take on a guest book. Why not leave some fancy-dress options, such as hats, glasses and moustaches, for a hilarious guest book?


5. Personalised features

There are many cheap, fun and creative options to really personalise your wedding.

Invitation materials and tools are readily available from craft stores, so you can make them as formal, or as informal, as you like. Whether you want a fold-out invitation with directions to the venue, RSVP and guest list included or a simple postcard with a photo of you and your partner with a tick-box option on the back, it’s up to you.

Table plans can also be personalised. Why not have people’s names on badges so they can get to know everyone at their table? Or perhaps write names on labels and hang them from the branches of plants?

At the table, you can personalise your menus to tie in with your colour scheme, or even trim them in the tartan of your groom’s kilt.

Add fun touches. Having a summer wedding? Why not serve bottles of lemonade with your names and the date on the label? Is your partner from another country? Incorporate traditions or details from their country, whether it be tables named after towns or having their national flower at the table.

To keep the cost of a wedding down, many couples are opting for handmade favours. If you put your own spin on it, people are more likely to be thankful for your thoughtful gift.

Sharon and Alex, City Wedding, Saturday 29th May 2010

If ever there was a city chic wedding, then this was it.

 

 

Sharon and Alex were married on Saturday at 29, a gorgeous private members club, occupying 2 floors of a stunning 19th Century blonde sandstone premises in the hub of Glasgow’s vibrant cosmopolitan city centre.

 

The Bride looked absolutely stunning in a white Berketex gown. It’s skirt deviates from the traditional and is undeniably pretty with full layers of falling, fluted tulle. The bodice was a slim, pleated asymmetrical shape, with a gorgeous sweetheart neckline. She perfected the look with a stunning jewelled headband, complementing her soft waved hair.

 

The theme incorporated white orchids, with splashes of coral and pink. Hurricane candles, mirrors and marble pillars all complemented the traditionally restored architecture of the venue .Tables had tall silver candelabras with trailing ivy.

 

With the weather being on the couple’s side, many photos got taken outdoors on the terrace, as well as some fun contemporary shots outside stores such as Agent Provocateur.

 

The couple had a scrumptious 3 tier cake cake – chocolate, carrot and fruit – decorated with white chocolate ganache from the famous Harry Gow bakery.

 

 

As you can see from the pictures, the stationary was lush, using subtle sparkle with elegant font.

 

 

Guests were treated to Mediterranean Vegetables and Mozzarella Salad to start, Scotch Beef and Yorkshire Pudding or Chicken with Mushroom and Shallot Jus for their main, and a Vanilla Cheesecake with Ice Cream and Toffee Sauce for dessert. Guests then tucked into tablet, left by the couple as their favour. The boys were especially delighted that there was not just wine on table, but also a bucket with mixed beers.

 

Sharon and Alex had their first dance to Hungry Eyes by Eric Carmen (from the film Dirty Dancing – great song choice!), following this with Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison. DJ Nick Dempsey played upbeat tunes all evening, ensuring the dance floor was full to the early hours.

 

And the verdict from the guests? “Perfect”

Considering a Scottish Castle Wedding – Dunrobin Castle

I don’t think that there are many brides that haven’t toyed with the idea of getting married in a true fairy-tale castle; gliding up a grand stone staircase in a white gown, serenaded by pipers. It’s many a little girl’s dream. Well, these dreams can be fulfilled in the breathtakingly beautiful setting of Dunrobin Castle. And if you think that a castle wedding isn’t for you, I defy you to read on and not be enchanted…..


As a wedding planner, I see 100s of venues regularly, but without a doubt one of my favourite castle wedding venues is Dunrobin . It boasts the most stunningly romantic backdrop for any wedding. Picture postcard French towers and turrets, ornate gardens with fountains, and unbroken sea views. It looks like an illustration from a storybook.


Dunrobin Castle is the most northerly of Scotland’s great houses and the largest in the Northern Highlands with 189 rooms. It is on the east coast of the Northern Highlands overlooking the Moray Firth, just north of the villages of Golspie and Dornoch (famous for its cathedral and Royal Dornoch Golf Club), and only one hour form Inverness. Highlights in Sutherland include the Falls of Shin Visitor Centre, and Clynelish Whisky Distillery in Brora. In nearby Caithness, you can enjoy the late Queen Mother’s Castle of Mey, Smoo Cave at Durness, and of course being at the very top of Britain at John o’Groats. Regular ferries run from Scrabster, near Thurso, to the Orkney Islands.

Dunrobin Castle is also one of Britain’s oldest continuously inhabited houses. It has been called home to the Earls and Dukes of Sutherland since the 13th century and was first mentioned as a stronghold of the family in 1401.   The motto of Clan Sutherland is Sans Peur, French for Without Fear. It appears on both the Countess’s Coat of Arms and the Clan Crest. The Earldom of Sutherland was created in 1235 and a castle appears to have stood on this site since then, possibly on the site of an early medieval fort. The name Dun Robin means Robin’s Hill or Fort in Gaelic and may have come from Robert, the 6th Earl of Sutherland who died in 1427.


There a many different options for your wedding ceremony at Dunrobin. You can hire The Drawing Room (which was redesigned by Sir Robert Lorimer in 1915)  or The Library (which hosts a magnificent portrait by Philip de Laszlo of Duchess Eileen) for your ceremony, or, for guest numbers of more than 100, a marquee can be erected on the lawn. The stunning dining room – with its Khorassan carpet, table set with Georgian silver and oak chairs of Stuart period design with needlework by Duchess Eileen, wife of the 5th Duke – can be hired for private dining, or the entire castle can be hired out exclusively for your big day.


Unfortunately in my experience, an amazing venue can be let down by its staff. This is most definitely not the case at Dunrobin. Scott and his highly skilled staff are so welcoming and helpful you will find it hard to leave! At Dunrobin, the staff pride themself on offering an unparalleled level of service ensuring that every wedding is unique. They want every bride and groom to feel that Dunrobin is their magical place. And another plus point is that despite its amazing setting, Dunrobin is affordable.



For a magnificent castle in a magnificent setting, choose Dunrobin Castle.

Introducing the (very scrumptious!) Berry Scrumptious…

Berry Scrumptious is the brain child of husband and wife team Claire and Ross Rennie. They are a small, innovative company based on Ross’s family farm in Aberdeenshire.

 

Ross is in charge with growing premium quality strawberries & raspberries especially for Berry Scrumptious. Claire is the creative side of the partnership, and together they strive to provide the highest quality of product and service possible.

 

They are both passionate about growing fresh, natural produce and taking that from field to fork in as few steps as possible. That’s why they always prefer to use their own strawberries and raspberries, when they can, grown with care and attention.

 

Their hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries will delight and enchant your wedding guests, tantalising their taste buds. If you are looking for something different to add a touch of luxury to your wedding or civil partnership, then they can help!  As Premier Wedding Planners, we love it when we see something new and innovative that makes the guests (and us!) go ‘Wow!”

 

 

Their Black Tie Berry™ and Bride Berry™ (which I posted on the Premier Wedding Planners Scotland Facebook page a few weeks ago) resemble a bride and groom and set the scene at any wedding. Their range of signature designs are a mix of milk, dark and white chocolate coatings, some smothered in fresh, white coconut. Their fresh chocolate covered berries are available in a range of designs though, if you would prefer something more subtle.

 

They can package one or two of our scrumptious chocolate covered strawberries in a little white or black favour box and match the ribbon to your colour scheme. You can add a “eat me” label for a light-hearted touch!

 

Or, prevent your party and wedding favours being left on the table by presenting them in a petit four paper case (a posh mini muffin case) at each place setting for guests to enjoy with their after dinner coffee.

 

 

Alternatively, their home made strawberry and raspberry preserves make great gifts for wedding guests. With a personalised label they are a delicious reminder of any special occasion and can also be served the next morning at breakfast.

 

 

Their chocolate berry tower is a fantastic talking point at any wedding or event and has star quality itself, having graced the Orange BAFTA Film Awards Ceremony in 2007. No stranger to a party, the chocolate berry tower can be used in a number of ways:

 

 

1. As an extremely striking centrepiece at a champagne reception. A brilliant way to get guests mingling while providing “self serve canapés”

 

2. As a chic alternative to the traditional wedding cake. This is an especially good option if you are not a cake fan or if any of your guests require a wheat or egg free diet.

 

3. The less messy option in comparison to a chocolate fountain (and, some would argue, less common). No fingers/heads in running chocolate, or dribbling down the front of your wedding dress/the guests!

 

Their chocolate berry towers start at 6 tiers and go up to 9 tiers high and are piled with anything between 200 and 800 chocolate covered strawberries. As they prepare tailor made quotes for each event, you can have as many strawberries per person as you wish. They can provide a wide range of designs, including the Black Tie Berry™ and Bride Berry™, to fill your chocolate berry tower. The most popular is their Signature Selection, a mix of milk, dark and white chocolate designs with a little bit of coconut thrown in.

 

Is your mouth watering? Ours certainly are! Contact Claire at Berry Scrumptious to find out more!

An important decision to make….. what wedding shoes to wear!

A wedding ceremony is the greatest and most beautiful time of  your life, and as a consequence of this, each and every factor has to be just right – therefore your footwear cannot be overlooked! Not just so that your feet look fabulous, but remember, you are going be in them all day – they need to be comfortable (or you need to have a high pain threshold!)  and suitable (if you are thinking 5 inch heel and you are having a beach wedding maybe you should reconsider…)

 

So many shoes, so many choices! Where do you start? Firstly, don’t limit yourself to ‘bridal’ shoes. Yes, you get some amazing pairs from bridal designers such as Benjamin Adams, Diane Hassall and Rainbow Club . But there are so many fabulous shoes available in department stores, specialist shoe shops and online that are not specifically ‘Bridal’. Don’t know what style to opt for? Here are a few to consider…

 

Flat wedding shoes are a sensible choice for many brides-to-be. Flat doesn’t have to mean boring. Ballet flats are elegant and comfortable wedding shoes, and can match nearly any type of gown. Look at these adorable ones below by Anusha.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They are the wonderful compromise if you just want to avoid heels but additionally want something more formal than flip flops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or how about some blinged up sneakers (a la Annie Banks in Father of the Bride!)

 

 

 

 

or go quirky old-school with some converse all stars that match your colour theme!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whatever the style, flat wedding shoes have long been a popular brides-to-be selection for a relaxed shoe that you can dance the night away without any pain. There are so many styles available that your shoes can be cute and sensible, happy days!

 

The next step up is the low to mid-heel. The half way point. The shoes that can give you a bit of height (which can give you confidence) without crippling your feet (& lack of confidence through fear of falling over). These can be elegant, girlie and comfy, like these ones from Monsoon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When brides tell me they never wear high heels but they want to wear them on their wedding day, I put up the red flag. I think you should be absolutely confident walking down the aisle and that may mean going a little lower than you’d like. These Vera Wang’s have an ankle support which can help you feel more secure when walking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the end I think you’re going to appreciate feeling beautiful and confident. Chosing a shoe with a slight platform like the pair below by Diane Lynn will give you a little lift without sacrificing comfort and confidence. Also, mid-height are good if your fiancé isn’t that much taller than you – you don’t want to tower over them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, these can be seen as ‘safe’ and ‘average’ shoes by the super brave brides, those ladies that only wear heels. For them, their big day requires big heels. All or nothing. Only the skyscraping heights of 5 inches will do for these brides. The king of these shoes? Christian Louboutin.

The flash of a red sole certainly makes my heart beat just that bit faster anyway. But I am biased, I am all for super high heels. My bunions are testament to that, and in fact my calves now get sore when I wear flat shoes. But you have to be accustomed to wearing this height of heels before you consider buying them for your big day – you don’t want to hobble down the aisle!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are plenty of amazing heels that you can buy at a fraction of the Louboutin price though, like the pair below from Dune.

 

My most important piece of advice though is pick what you are comfortable in. By comfortable in I don’t necessarily mean shoes that feel as snuggly on your feet as your favourite slippers. I mean what makes you happy and gorgeous. Live in your sneakers? Why would you wear heels on your big day then? Wear what you want to wear, it is your day! As I always say, on your wedding day you should look like the best version of you, not a completely different person. So go ahead and rock those Doc Martins if you want to, and have the time of your life!

Introducing Captiv8 – John Baikie Wedding Photographer

We love John’s work, we know you will too! Lucy

Captiv8 Photography is based in Thurso, Scotland, with the vast majority of my wedding and portrait work is in the Inverness area, and often further afield. My work sometimes takes me overseas as well as photographing at some of the best locations in Scotland.

Captiv8 is delighted to work regularly alongside Lucy and Cheryl at Premier Wedding Planners Scotland, and believe they are the best around at what they do. Everyone should have a wedding planner at their big day to take the pressure off, leaving everything for someone else to worry about while you concentrate on having a great day.

 

I think choosing the right photographer is one of the most important decisions any couple will make as this will be the lasting memory of the day. A bride will spend years planning what to wear, where to have the wedding, what her hair will look like, what flowers to have, and so on. In ten years time the photographs are all that is left and the way I shoot a wedding means that all these details are captured in such a way that generations later the grandchildren will be able to look back and see exactly how things were. I could write a book on the stories I’ve heard from brides who regret going for a cheap photographer, and in fact a lot of my clients are second time brides who refuse to compromise on quality after making the mistake before. That said, I appreciate that every bride is working to a budget, and I do offer some very affordable options alongside my top end packages. Digital advances in the last few years has seen a massive increase in the number of photographers who think they can shoot weddings to make some pocket money at the weekend. They are using your big day to practice, rather than learning the craft properly, and this is a shame as it’s not them that suffers when they fail to produce the goods.

 

I am starting to see a big change however, in the number of couples who are appreciating the difference in spending a little more to get top quality photography. Couples are definitely beginning to see that it is such an important investment. With that happening, people are certainly taking more of an active part in discussion and decision making related to the photography on the day. Modern brides have a clear idea in their head of exactly what they want. Many couples are cutting back on a lot of the extravagance on the day and spending money more specifically on the things that are important, like the dress, the venue and of course, the photography.

 

My own style has gradually changed over the last few years and I now shoot about 75% of the day in a photojournalist style, shooting natural moments, which is a very popular style. My clients like arty images which look good on a wall as much as in an album. Although I’m best known for dramatic and sometimes unusual images, this isn’t actually a huge part of what I do, as I don’t like to take over on the day and take the couple away for hours on end. I think the key is getting the reportage/posed ratio just right.

 

My portable lighting images are causing a lot of interest, as they can be quite dramatic, and these are the images people are asking for time and time again. Again it’s only a small part of what I do as I still like to shoot most of the day using available light as it captures the day exactly as it was.

 

I’ve always favoured black and white images and brides definitely like a good percentage of the images to be done that way. It’s classic, timeless and very simplistic. Black and white images have been a big part of what I do since I began shooting weddings, but in recent years I have found brides ask about black and white right from the start, as it is a vital thing for them.

 

 

black and white bride and groom photo



There has been a massive shift over the last few years in the type of album clients want. In a very short time we’ve gone from very traditional, one image per page albums, to CD’s, then digital magazine style books, and now things are just starting to go back to a more traditional style, although very contemporary in the layout. Metal covered albums are my most popular, as they look very modern, yet classy at the same time. I see an increase in requests for digital files of the images now, especially as people want to have their pictures on social networking sites like Facebook and others. A lot of photographers don’t like giving files away but I have always been happy to let clients have the images, although I would advise they got their prints done at a professional lab so the quality is high.

 

In the next few years I think there will be even more changes as technology changes. People can have their images on their mobile phones, and with the new Apple Ipad being released this is yet another way to show your friends your images. There is also going to be a gradual merging together of the technologies between photography and videography, with cameras now having capability to provide either. Exciting times ahead.

 

 

The recession appears to have eased slightly this year and my diary is packed with weddings for 2010, with some really exciting dates in there, as well as some amazing locations. To keep up to date with what Captiv8 is up to check out our website www.captiv8.uk.com and our blog which has all the latest news and events on it www.johnbaikiephotography.com We are also on Facebook and Twitter so why not look us up there as well. If you have a wedding coming up, please give us a call on 0800 0699169 and arrange a meeting to discuss what we can do for you.

How to choose a reading for your wedding…

Scottish Weddings

You can be overwhelmed with thoughts on dresses and cakes and flowers but don’t forget to consider if you are going to have readings at your ceremony, and if so, who will give them. Readings are often a very important part of the service. They are a great way to punctuate the ceremony, to break it up and add interest. They can be sentimental or light-hearted. Asking someone to do a reading is also a good way to involve friends and family members who are important to you, particularly if they don’t have any other duties, such as making a speech, to carry out.

But choose wisely; can you see him/her getting very anxious beforehand? You want this to be an honour, enjoyable for the reader, not stress them out. Have they got a good strong voice that can easily project to the back of the room? (Microphones can help, but the reader still needs a clear voice).

It’s easy to underestimate the amount of time it can take to choose something that feels right for both of you – especially if you’re not keen on the more traditional, heartfelt types of passages that tend to keep popping up as suggestions, or if you don’t want anything religious.

A good place to start is your celebrant, who will normally supply you with a selection of readings in some form or another. You could always ask the person/people doing the readings to choose something they like of course, but don’t leave it as a surprise for the day! And consider whether you would feel awkward if you had to tell them you didn’t like their suggestion. If you’re looking for inspiration you will find plenty of readings online, and Youtube can be really helpful. It helps to narrow down what you’re looking for into subjects like love or friendship for example. Or perhaps there’s a writer whose work you both love and you might wish to start looking through extracts from his/her texts? Films can also be a great source – who can forget Cameron Diaz reading ‘I Carry Your Heart With Me‘ by EE Cummings in the film In her Shoes. This was recently read at a wedding we coordinating with the string quartet playing Des’ree ‘Kissing You‘ (the love theme from Romeo & Juliet) – there wasn’t a dry eye in the castle! Or how about lyrics from a favourite song?

Scottish Weddings

Try to choose something that fits the tone of the ceremony, if you’re going for a very formal service then a jokey reading may seem out of place for example – however, you might just decide a light-hearted passage is exactly what’s needed to break the tension. Once you are happy with your reading and reader, consider printing the words out for your guests as this can be easier to follow than just listening to a voice.

Recently at a wedding we coordinated, there was a reading in Gaelic, and a translation of it into English was printed in the order of service. Whatever you choose in the end, bear in mind that a reading is also a good opportunity to express something from the heart that you, for whatever reason, just wouldn’t feel comfortable standing up and saying yourself. Remember you can edit your reading, shorten it or take out parts of a poem etc, if you don’t like the whole thing/parts aren’t relevant, or you need to shorten it. Another lovely idea is for you and your partner to write a passage to one another. You don’t need to necessarily read it yourselves, a friend could do this for you. It’s also worth asking your minister or registrar to look over any readings well before the actual wedding, just to make sure they agree that it’s appropriate. This is particularly important if you’re having a civil wedding as you’re not allowed to include anything with religious connotations. If in doubt, check – some people are stricter than others.

Remember, Premier Wedding Planners can help coordinate your dream wedding. Contact us for a free consultation.

Scottish Bagpiper – Spud the Piper
Well I have just come back from a thoroughly enjoyable lunchtime meeting with the legend that is Spud the Piper!

For those of you who do not know Spud, shame on you! He is a world famous Bagpiper, having piped for Madonna, Jamie Lee Curtis, and (allegedly!) Mark Owen from Take That at his recent wedding at Cawdor Castle.

He began playing the pipes aged 8, and has been working as a professional Piper since 1999. He averages 65 wedding per year – globally. As well as weddings he also works for many whiskey distillers, included Diageo (who make Bell’s, J&B, and Johnnie Walker). He also works 3 months of the year in the Far East for Chivas Brothers Pernod Ricard (who make The Glenlivet, Aberlour and Strathisla). This is during our winter months though, so he can be here for Scotland’s summer wedding season. On top of that, he also pipes 3 times per week in Speyside Distillery. Phew – I am exhausted just writing about this man!

Although Spud does tend to pipe traditional Scottish music, he is open to suggestions from Brides-to-Be, and will do his best to accommodate them. For example, he piped “Like a Virgin” for Madonna as she came off the plane at Inverness Airport for her Highland wedding to Guy Richie!

It is tradition for a Bride to offer her Piper a drink at her wedding. Once Spud has piped the newlyweds to the Top Table, he will take a drink from the Quaich. The Quaich is a special kind of shallow two-handled drinking cup. It is seen as the Cup of Friendship, and it is said to bring you good luck. Tradition has it that this is the cup which is referenced in Auld Lang Syne: “For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet, for auld lang syne”. This is Sir Sean Connery with a Quaich. (Unfortunately Spud doesn’t take Sir Sean with him, just a Quaich!)

Spud is what I’d describe as a ‘hoot’! He is such good fun, I always have a laugh with him when me meet. He is a great character and an asset to any wedding.
For more on Spud, check out our Wedding Music page and his Highland Bagpiper website. For help coordinating your Scottish wedding, contact Premier Wedding Planners Scotland for a free wedding consultation.
