Hey Ladies,
Just thought I’d do a wee update.
Its only 1 week till the show and I’m really excited. I’ve made my list and been on the website deciding which companies I need to talk to at the show.
My friend Kristin is getting married in 3 weeks, she is really organized and just looking forward to the big day now. She was at the show in February and got loads so fingers crossed I’ll be as organized as her in a few months!
I think it’ll be quite strange watching them take their vows knowing that Keith and I are next!!
We watched some sample DVD’s the other night and I was really emotional! What will I be like on the day!!
If there are any brides coming to the show that have any questions or just want advice drop me a line.
See you next week x

The Scottish Wedding Team
CandySnaps is proud to be collaborating with Scotland’s finest Hairstylist and Make-Up artists Leigh Ferguson and Ainslie Currie to offer you a complete styling and photography package for your wedding day!
We’ll be launching our new exciting packages at the Glasgow Wedding show so come and see us at stand 413D.
Leigh Ferguson founded a salon partnership in Glasgow in the early 1990’s described by Face magazine as the ‘avant garde gurus of our time’. Prior to this, she worked as a colour consultant for l’Oreal in Britain and Ireland, winning prizes for her work. Head-hunted by another international company, she crossed the Atlantic to manage and train a large team of stylists. And it was here, while working in some of the top venues and fashion houses including Burberry, Karen Walker, Ronit Zilka etc in the US and Canada, in Milan, Paris and London, that she helped to develop and market a new product line that is still a bestseller in the US and UK.
Working on glossy magazine shoots and flying to the worlds fashion capitals and painting the faces of top models and celebrity clients is all in a day’s work for Scotland’s top make-up artist Ainslie Currie who has become Scotland’s most in demand make-up artist. If she’s not working on the faces of models at Paris or London fashion week she can be found making celebrities such as Alexa Chung, Yasmin Le Bon, KT Tunstall , Ewan Mcgregor or Sean Connery for their close ups. Career highs have been working with Pat Mcgrath on John Galliano shows and working on Lanvin and Christopher Kane and being named as Sotland’s most influential make-up artist at the Scottish Style Awards.
Caroline, the photographer behind CandySnaps, is one of the few Scottish wedding photographers who have been selected as members of the WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association). Her relaxed, candid reportage style will provide you with beautiful, natural images that reflect your special day as it truly happened.
Hi I’m Leeann and I’m getting married in July 2010. I am also in the enviable position of working on the Scottish Wedding Shows at the SECC, Glasgow.
Since I got engaged to my fiancé Keith I have been looking at the shows with a different perspective and getting more and more exciting about my wedding.
I’m particularly excited about the show coming up on the 19th & 20th September. As I’m originally from Fort William, I’ve got my mum, Jean, bridesmaids, Pammy, Elaine and Joan and my sister in law Sharon with flower girl Sophie, coming down and we’re making a real weekend of it. I’ve got a list as long as my arm of things I want to buy and book at the show.
Keith and I have been saving like mad so I’m planning to blow this all at the show. I managed to find the dress of my dreams at the last show in February and am hoping to find the perfect tiara and jewellery as well as shoes to go with it. The girls are excited about looking for bridesmaid dresses as this is the first chance we’ve had to get together and look.
Keith is coming on the Sunday and wants some ideas for him and his best man Steve
Many of the companies seem to be doing special offers at the show, so I really want to take advantage of these.
Would love to hear from other brides, how is your planning going and are you sticking to the budget??
p.s Is anyone else struggling to lose weight??
If you are looking for attention to detail and outstanding quality – look no further – this stunning custom made stationery will send the WOW factor in floods to your wedding guests. One off designs – fabulous presentation – unbelievable comments from guests. What more could you ask for.
Well… with the credit crunch perhaps something that helps to keep the costs down?
You will be delighted to hear that we are launching a new range of ‘off the shelf’ stationery ‘Pret-a-Porter Stationery’ at the SECC. This is a limited edition, off the shelf range with designer flair on a non-bespoke budget. Why not consider pushing the bank balance for your day time invites with a custom made design and limiting your spending with the remainder of your stationery from the Pret-a-Porter range?
Jackie Adams has been responsible for the Pret-a-Porter designs (and quality control) but Mark Adams is going to be responsible for the workload on a part-time basis so bookings are going to be limited. The quality is amazing and so far the response has been very positive.
To view more designs visit www.bespokeweddingstationery.org.uk and visit the Pret-a-Porter page and click on the link at the bottom of that page. If you are interested please email or call Jackie on 07590527658 to discuss details.
THE VIDEO COMPANY.CO.UK – STAND P22
People attending the Scottish Wedding Show will bear witness to the restructuring of how The Video Company offer their services, as well as benefit from a complimentary deluxe copy of their production for any bookings secured at the show.
Over the last year, we gathered feedback from the majority of our clients, in a bid to keep things simple for future brides and add value to our service. Therefore, we have decided to cease offering different packages, replacing them with a basic structure which can be customised at will.
All packages will include coverage from the arrival before the ceremony, through to the first dances. Extra features, such as bridal preparations, can then be added as personal taste and budget permits.
The complimentary deluxe copies, for bookings secured at the show, will include the uncut master footage along with an audio CD. Therefore, in addition to your professionally produced video production, you will have a record of all the footage shot during the day and a soundtrack of the music used in your production.
If you’re attending the show, feel free to pop by our stand (P22) and have a quick discussion about your wedding plans. We look forward to seeing you.
Summer 2009 sees the launch of our Bespoke Wedding Stationery and we will be exhibiting this for the first time at The Scottish Wedding Show, SECC, Glasgow at Stand 446D.
Every card is meticulously hand-made; from printing each photo-image,
hand-cutting every mount, to signing each completed piece – and all at a very competitive price.
We will discuss your thoughts and ideas with you, to ensure that the stationery design is tailored precisely to complement your wedding plan.
Each piece combines a card with a parchment insert or overlay, personalised with your own text. You can choose from a range of cards, parchments, fonts, MacKenzie Stills photo-images and mounts, to produce a completely original, personal, yet affordable range of stationery.
Just click on our website – www.mackenziestills.co.uk – for ideas, choices, and costs.
And there’s no need to stop there; why not consider MacKenzie Stills artwork as a unique and unusual gift?
We look forward to seeing you at the show.
Come for a fitting in advance – Even if you know your size, we recommend that grooms and their party get properly sized by going to their nearest stores for a fitting in advance. Moss Bros Hire offer a fully tailored service where you’ll be measured from head to toe to ensure a perfect fit on the day!
Saving money – In today’s current climate, every penny counts. At Moss Bros Hire, by booking four or more to be dressed in the wedding party, the groom goes completely free.
Button up – When it comes to wearing your outfit, grooms should leave the bottom button of your waistcoat undone and most people rarely do their morning jacket up. It’s something small but will make all the difference.
Shirt cuffs- For a truly sartorially smart look, grooms should leave an inch of shirt cuff below the coat sleeve as it balances out the crispness of the shirt at the neckline and contrasts with the dark morning suit.
All tied up – If grooms are stuck with how to tie your cravat or tie, don’t worry, ask a member of staff during your fitting to show you exactly how to do it on the day.
Shoes – Last but not least, grooms must never forget to polish their shoes on the day, there’s nothing worse than scruffy shoes with a beautiful outfit!
