FROM using the farm Land Rover as the wedding car to stipulating ‘no hats’, making your own confetti, incorporating the history of both the bride and groom’s farms into the big day, or planning the whole wedding from start to finish in less than four months, our farming folk know how to do things in style.

Everyone does it their way be that a low-key affair with just a few family and friends or an all-singing, all-dancing celebration in a fairy-tale venue with fireworks to round off the day.

But whichever way you choose to get married, there’s lots to do and plenty to consider.

It goes without saying that if you want a particular venue, florist, photographer, cake-maker or caterer you have to be organised and book early to avoid disappointment. And for those on a tighter budget, the advice is to consider getting married during an off-peak period outwith the main summer season – and avoid busy days like Fridays and Saturdays.

Organising your church will also take time and if you’re using a celebrant, it is important to find someone who is the right fit for you.

Then, of course, there’s the all-important dress. Experts recommend starting the process at least a year to 18 months in advance as some gowns can take six months to arrive, then you must factor in fittings and alterations.

It’s no different for the groom and groomsmen if it’s custom-made kilts or made-to-measure suits.

Here, The Scottish Farmer speaks to some couples about their own recent wedding days who hope that their experiences show that anything is possible – and that you don’t have to adhere to time-honoured tradition if you want to mix things up. It’s what you want.
