Let them eat cake.. Are you going classic white w Let them eat cake..Are you going classic white with your cake, or bringing all the colour to the big day?I’ve seen some absolutely cracking cakes this year, every single one has been stunning.And honestly, I take my hat off to the cake makers around Aberdeen and the shire… you are a very talented bunch.Some couples choose to carry their colour theme right through to the cake as well, and oh my goodness, aren’t they gorgeous?Bold, beautiful, and almost too pretty to cut… Almost.What you doing for your cake?Elegant and traditional, or colourful and full of personality?#weddingcake #weddingcakeinspiration #colourfulcake #celebrantaberdeen

Reflections Nails are done, food prep ready, hous ReflectionsNails are done, food prep ready, house cleaned, all ready for Santa now 😁As the year winds down, I’ve been having a little reflect… usually while wondering how I’ve managed to talk for a living and still get emotional every single time.This year I’ve stood at the front of weddings full of love, laughter, happy tears, deep breaths, and the occasional “oh no, where are the rings?”.I’ve battled wind, weather, enthusiastic dogs, and that one gust that always turns pages at exactly the wrong moment.I’ve watched couples laugh through nerves, cry through vows, and choose each other in perfectly imperfect ways, which, honestly, is my favourite kind.I’ve been trusted with stories, families, and moments that only happen once… and I’ll never take that lightly (even when I’m gently teasing a groom or calming a wobbly bride).This year reminded me that ceremonies don’t need to be fancy or flawless; they just need to feel real. And I've spent a lot of 2025 laughing along with my couplesA bit of laughter helps.A lot of love helps more.And if something goes slightly wrong, it usually makes the best memory anyway.To every couple who trusted me, every family who welcomed me, and every supplier who became a pal, thank you.You made my year full of heart, humour, and a fair bit of joyful chaos.With 2 weddings to go this weekend to finish off my 2025 diary, it's been a fantastic year. Not sure the family will see much of me in 2026 when i look at the diary, but I get to do lots more of what I love with fantastic couples, venues and vendors.Here’s to love, laughter, and whatever next year decides to throw at us
It’s all in the knot… Let's talk ties. And I bet It’s all in the knot…Let's talk ties. And I bet the first thing that popped into your head was a school tie you couldn’t wait to take off.But today we’re talking wedding ties, the colourful kind.I’ve seen some absolutely cracking ones this year.Bright, bold, and full of personality.Many grooms choose ties that tie in (see what I did there) with the bridal party colours or the flowers, and I love seeing a bit of colour on the groom as well.It’s such a simple way to add personality, pull the look together, and show that the lads have made a proper effort.So what's your groom wearing? Classic and understated, or bright and bold in the tie department?#groomstie #colourmatchingweddings #tietheknot #celebrantaberdeen
Colour therapy, wedding-style I’m on a “brighten Colour therapy, wedding-styleI’m on a “brighten your week with colour” mission just now, and this time it’s all about wedding hats 👒I love watching guests arrive at weddings in their hats.There was a spell when wedding hats seemed to disappear for a while… probably hiding in the back of wardrobes with the fondue sets., I know mine is 😅But ohhh, they are very much back, and I love that.Have a look at these beauties from some of my weddings over the last year or so.Bright colours, fabulous shapes, and more personality than some plus-ones.They add such a splash of colour and a bit of drama before the ceremony even begins.A good wedding hat doesn’t just say “I’ve made an effort”… It says I understood the assignment.Are you a wedding hat person?Bold and bright… or elegant and understated?And you have to swipe all those photos cause the last ones cracking 😅#weddinghats #hatsforweddings #weddingguesthats #celebrantaberdeen
Let me brighten your evening a wee bit… What a mi Let me brighten your evening a wee bit…What a miserable day it’s been here in Aberdeen.Proper “stay-in-your-pyjamas-and-question-your-life-choices” weather. (hence why i'm sitting in mine right now)I’m hoping everyone’s already survived the Christmas shopping, because today was not the day for it.So, to cheer myself up, I’ve been having a nosey through some of my couples’ wedding flowers from this year… and honestly, if these don’t lift your spirits, I’m fresh out of ideas.Every single one is gorgeous.Different colours, different styles, all totally different.Have you picked your bouquet yet? What are you thinking of going for?There's a blog on the website about different types of bouquets if your still considering what to go for https://www.thecelebrantangel.com/types-of-wedding-bouquets/I love that we have so many choices, even for a winter wedding.#weddingflowers #weddingbouquetinspo #celebrantaberdeen

Meet the Walkers I had the absolute pleasure of m Meet the WalkersI had the absolute pleasure of marrying Lindsey and Clark a couple of weeks ago.I worked with Clark a few years ago and was delighted when he asked me to be his celebrant.They were a cracking couple to work with and had a beautiful story to tell in their ceremony.The guests were great fun, and a few familiar faces were there too.They chose Aswanley for their venue and got the picture of a lifetime there as well, the aurora borealis. thats one definetly for the wall.Thank you, guys, for letting me be part of your day, and thank you to Kevin at Eastside Photography Scotland for sharing their photos with me.#eastsidephotographysco #aswanley #auroraboreaslis #aberdeenweddingsupplier #celebrantaberdeen

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.. Or at least s Diamonds are a girl's best friend..Or at least some girls.And they are probably the most popular stone in an engagement ring.Most of us pick rings for how they look, not how tough they are, or how expensive they are.I got my first at 17, it was tiny when I think back now. But I was so chuffed with it and couldn’t stop showing it off at work.And I was a secretary doing a lot of typing, so that ring was up there on the keyboard as often as I could, catching the light and sparkling away.Diamonds are graded by the four Cs:Cut for sparkleColour from colourless to yellowCarat for sizeClarity for flawsThey’re the hardest gemstone, scoring 10/10 on the Mohs Scale. Ready for years of daily wear and admiration.So if you're going shopping for a diamond for that big proposal, that's some information on the best diamonds#diamondsareagirlsbestfriend #diamondengagementring #celebrantaberdeen #chosinganengagementring
Start with the stone. Do you know what kind of st Start with the stone.Do you know what kind of stone your partner would want in their engagement ring?Are you after a classic diamond, a pop of colour, or something with a special meaning?Figuring this out before you hit the shops can save a lot of panicked “um… what do I do now?” moments.I helped my son pick his partner’s engagement ring.Let’s just say it involved more “does this look right?” than I care to remember, several cups of coffee, and enough walking around the jeweller to qualify as exercise.This isn’t a two-minute dash into the shop with a vague idea and a big smile.#engagement ring #whichstone #chosingyourengagementring #celebrantaberdeen #celebrantangel And what if diamonds aren’t their thing?Don’t sweat it. There are plenty of gemstones out there ready to steal the show. Sapphires, emeralds, rubies..they all work. And do they even want a stone, not every couple has a stone in their engagements rings, and thats fine to.Do they want gold or silver, or something else?And they won’t judge you for picking the wrong one.Unless you've been specifically told it has to be a certain type of course!!#gettingengaged #pickingthering #perfectengagementring #celebrantaberdeen
