What type are you?⁠ ⁠ Yes, there are different What type are you?⁠ ⁠ Yes, there are different types of brides. ⁠ ⁠ Do you know what type you are?⁠ ⁠ I was reading an article last week about different types of brides and I found me on there 😊⁠ ⁠ So I thought we’d find out what kind of brides we have on here.⁠ ⁠ As we know every single person on this planet is different, that’s what makes us unique.⁠ ⁠ And we all deal with things differently. ⁠ ⁠ Are you a perfectionist? Or a worry wart (that's me by the way). A people pleaser or a focused bride.⁠ ⁠ Have a read of the latest blog and see if you can find yourself on there; if your type isn't there, let me know what I've missed. I'm sure there are more types of brides.⁠ ⁠ https://www.thecelebrantangel.com/what-type-of-bride-are-you/ ⁠ ⁠ #typesofbrides #perfectionistbride #aberdeenweddings #aberdeenweddingsupplier # aberdeenbrides #celebrantaberdeen #humanistaberdeen ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
I first passed this church 12 years ago on my firs I first passed this church 12 years ago on my first visit to Oban, St conans church on Loch awe. Today they were having a "Christmas tree" festival. There were 75 Christmas trees, all designed by schools or businesses, and they were all amazing. You got to vote for your favourite one, ours was "re cycled", being cyclists we would pick that one 😉 The interpretation of everyone's Christmas tree was fantastic, and we had a cracking half hour wondering round them A lovely community idea #stconanskirk #xmastree #christmastrees #communityspirit #lochawe

Tying the knot⁠ ⁠ Lots of my couples for 2024 Tying the knot⁠ ⁠ Lots of my couples for 2024 are considering tying the knot in their wedding ceremonies. And it's a beautiful ritual for a wedding ceremony, also known as handfasting.⁠ ⁠ And I'm often asked what should they use as the ties.⁠ ⁠ Well, it can be many different things, like you can see in the pictures here, for example.⁠ ⁠ In the first photo by @alisonwhitephotographyuk, Liz and Matthew ordered special hessian ribbons for their ties, which included the name of the book that their daughter Ella was reading in the ceremony, Love You to the Moon and back.⁠ ⁠ They had two ribbons, and we tied their knots to the family values, including their two daughters in the binding as well.⁠ ⁠ And the second picture photo by @jdyerphotography1 is macrame cord which Amanda pleated herself for her and Neils's wedding. Don't they look amazing?⁠ ⁠ I've seen ribbons used, a piece of the bride's mums wedding dress, granny's favourite scarf, in fact, even a football scarf :)⁠ ⁠ So as long as you get the length right for a hand tie, which is approx 2 metres, you can use anything you like, anything that matters to you.⁠ ⁠ What did you use for your hand ties if you had one in your ceremony? ⁠ Where did you get your handties? I know Etsy have some fantastic handfasting cords⁠ ⁠ Did you tie a special knot, or not (excuse the pun)⁠ ⁠ #handtying #weddingritual #handtyingritual #tyingtheknot #ribbons #aberdeenweddingsupplier #aberdeenbrides #weddingsaberdeen #celebrantceremony #celebrantaberdeen #celebrantaberdeenshire #humanistweddingaberdeen⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

Transport⁠ ⁠ Letting everyone know the logisti Transport⁠ ⁠ Letting everyone know the logistics of getting to and from the venue can be a nightmare if you were to do it by WhatsApp, but it’s ideal for putting on a wedding website.⁠ ⁠ Are you organising transportation for your guests, such as a bus to pick them up or drop them off at the end of the evening?⁠ ⁠ It’s also a great idea to contact the venue and gather information about local taxi services.⁠ ⁠ You can then list these details on your website, making it easy for guests to plan their transportation to and from the event.⁠ ⁠ Accommodation is another critical aspect, as not every venue will have enough rooms for all your guests who wish to stay overnight.⁠ ⁠ You can provide a list of nearby accommodations on your website, including any special rates or discounts you may have secured for your wedding guests.⁠ ⁠ These logistics can be added to your website, perhaps closer to the wedding date, once all the details are finalized.⁠ ⁠ Your wedding website then becomes the one-stop shop for all your guests’ logistical needs.⁠ ⁠ You can read more about what to put on a wedding website on the blog https://www.thecelebrantangel.com/do-you-need-a-wedding-website/ ⁠ ⁠ #weddingwebsite #weddingwebsites #weddingaccommodation #weddingtransport #gettingtothevenue #aberdeenweddingsupplier #bridesaberdeen #humanistwedding #humanistaberdeen #celebrantaberdeen #celebrantaberdeenshire #
Wheres the wedding⁠ ⁠ Where your wedding is be Wheres the wedding⁠ ⁠ Where your wedding is being held is a good page to have on your wedding website.⁠ ⁠ Here, you can put lots of information about the venue and links for them to have a look around. ⁠ ⁠ I would start with a map of the location, their contact details and any tourist information you can find out about the venue and the surrounding area.⁠ ⁠ If you have guests coming a fair distance, they might make a weekend out of your wedding and see around the area.⁠ ⁠ Have you got some preferred rates with the hotel for your wedding guests? Then add that so they know to ask for that when they book their accommodation.⁠ ⁠ The facilities - does it have a gym or a swimming pool? ⁠ ⁠ The more you let your guests know about the venue, the more they can be prepared.⁠ ⁠ Say, for instance, it has a pool, they would know if they should take their swimming cossies with them.⁠ ⁠ photo by https://byrhea.co.uk/ ⁠ ⁠ #weddingwebsite #meldrumhousehotel #venuedetails #aberdeenweddings #aberdeenweddingsupplier #bridesaberdeen #celebrantaberdeen #celebrantaberdeenshire #humanistaberdeen #humanistweddings #⁠ ⁠
Wedding website - your story⁠ ⁠ I've seen a fe Wedding website - your story⁠ ⁠ I've seen a few wedding websites where the couple share their story for their friends and family to see.⁠ ⁠ But I wouldn’t recommend doing that, or at least not all of it.⁠ ⁠ Why do I say that? Well, it's because it's your story that we will transform into a wedding script, and you don’t want them to know everything before the ceremony, do you?⁠ ⁠ By all means, share some of your history together, but remember and leave the juicy bits for us to share on the day.⁠ ⁠ photo @karenwitherspoon⁠ ⁠ #weddingwebsite #aberdeenweddings #bridesaberdeen #aberdeenweddingsupplier #allthedetails #celebrantaberdeen #celebrantaberdeenshire #humanistwedding #humanistaberdeen⁠ ⁠
