Outdoor weddings

After the era of garden weddings in 2020 and 2021, more couples are seeing the value of having their nuptials outdoors and opting for an open-air wedding. With many venues offering al fresco wedding options, it couldn’t be easier for brides and grooms to say ‘I do’ surrounded by nature. Ideal for summer months, outdoor weddings are typically less formal so they’re perfect for couples seeking a more relaxed wedding day in a peaceful setting. Plus, getting married in picturesque surroundings with natural light will ensure your photographs are gorgeous. For Scottish couples looking to add a touch of nature to their big day, Highland Hog Roasts at Invercannich Farm is a great choice, with a large stretch tent offering views across Glen Affric in a rustic, chic venue.
