A Beautiful Bride, In Bonnie Scotland
Unless you have unlimited funds, chances are your wedding day will have to be done on
some sort of budget. If your budget doesn’t stretch to the UK average of £18,500 (http://
www.weddingsday.co.uk/average-wedding-cost), it’s a good idea to open a ‘wedding
bank account’ so any spare cash, as well as your planned monthly wedding savings, can
be put straight into this account!
Despite its small size, Scotland is a diverse country with a wealth of stunning venues in which
to tie the knot. In fact, you can actually get married practically anywhere in Scotland, including
on top of a mountain, on the lakeside of a romantic loch or on the sparkling white sands of a
beach. This is only possible because the minister, priest, celebrant or clergyman that marries
you carries a licence that means you can choose your venue, no matter how wild or romantic!
That’s the beauty of getting married in Scotland; you can just pick your favourite spot and go
for it, whether that’s a traditional castle, ancient lighthouse or even under the tree where your
husband-to-be got down on one knee.
If you’re getting married in Scotland, Reflect would like to recommend a trip to The Scottish
Wedding Show, which takes place at Glasgow SECC from September 15th to 16th 2012. The
spring show, which took place on the 18th and 19th of February, boasted stalls from over 300
of Scotland’s leading wedding suppliers and the autumn show promises to attract just as many.

The ‘Scottish Wedding Directory’ is the ultimate guide to getting married in Scotland and is
widely regarded as the Scottish bride’s ‘bible’. For more info or to order your copy, please visit

Inject a Little Bit of
Scottish Culture into your
Wedding favours for woman are usually pretty easy to choose – from trinket
boxes to beautiful compact mirrors – but men are often a little harder to cater
for. However if you are stuck for ideas for wedding favours for the male guests
at your upcoming nuptials Sporran Keyrings have the perfect solution – a
beautifully crafted, traditional
Scottish Sporran Keyring.
Niall MacGregor began
Sporran Keyrings more than
six years ago, and now receives
orders for the keyrings from
across the UK as well as from
places as far away as America,
Australia, Hong Kong, Turkey,
Canada and Germany, with
people selecting the unique
keyring as the ideal wedding
favour for their guests.
Niall said: : “My first order
for Sporran Keyrings was in
January 2006, just after the
launch of www.sporrankeyrings.
co.uk a month earlier. This order
was for a customer all the way
in Australia and took me by
surprise! Little did I know how a
small keyring in the shape of a
gent’s sporran would catch the

“It quickly became obvious that 90 per
cent of all orders were from people getting
married – it seemed to be the perfect
wedding favour, at the right price. It also
doubles up as a superb place card holder
at the dinner table and the guests love
them. I am particularly proud of the fact
that our product is completely Scottish, the keyrings are made in Scotland by
Scottish crafts men and women – the order is not shipped off to a factory elsewhere
in the world.
“It is such a unique and inexpensive gift for St. Andrew’s Day, New Year’s Eve,
Hogmanay, Burns Nights, weddings, anniversaries and any Scottish themed
parties, it may be used as a memento on its own or as a place card holder to
enhance tables and engage guests. It is especially a fantastic wedding favour for
male guests who may not always be enthusiastic about regular favours, such as
sugared almonds and a new bright red colour has also recently been introduced
which may appeal to the lady wedding guests.”
As well as a great idea for favours for wedding guests, the keyrings are also a
fantastic way of injecting a little bit of Scottish flavour to your special day –
something that is undoubtedly appreciated especially by those Scots living
and getting married away from Scotland. The fact that it can also double up
as a place card holder is something that can help keep costs down. Sporran
Keyrings are happy for customers to purchase just one keyring to assess before
placing a larger order, the bigger order you eventually place the lower the cost
per keyring will be.
