I Now Declare… THE COPELANDS ✨

It’s been a long time coming for this pair! The bridesmaids even had to dust off their speeches for this one!
And the guests? They certainly didn’t hold back. If we said “party”, they said “how hard?” 🪩

With every shade of pink, the sun shining and a whole lot of love in the room, this day brought the party from the very beginning. Mhairi left no detail overlooked. From the colour palette and styling to all the little personal touches that made the day feel completely them, the pink theme and party atmosphere carried throughout every part of the celebration.

By the time the dance floor was in full swing, even the newlyweds couldn’t stay away and ended up behind the DJ booth! 🎧

This was one of those weddings where you could feel just how much thought, personality and fun had gone into creating the day. And when the couple, their friends and family are all throwing themselves into the party, you know you’ve got a good one.

Not everything that happens on your wedding day is within your control and that’s okay. 💙

-The weather.
-Whether a guest gets stuck in traffic.
-If someone forgets their speech.
-The tiny things that don’t go exactly to plan.

You can spend months worrying about the what ifs or you can accept that some things are simply out of your hands.

That’s where having someone in your corner helps.

My job isn’t to make sure absolutely nothing goes wrong. It’s to make sure you don’t have to deal with it when it does.

So you can stop checking the weather app every 12 minutes, put the emergency Pinterest board away, and actually enjoy getting married. 🥂

Because your wedding doesn’t have to be perfect to be brilliant.

As I celebrate the first year of I Now Declare, I’ve been reflecting on just how many incredible people have played a part in this journey.

First and foremost, thank you to my family and friends. Whether you’ve shown your support in person, shared my work online, recommended my services, or simply been there with a helping hand when I needed it most, your encouragement means more than you’ll ever know.

A special thank you to for believing in me, and to Mark and Frances, the very first couple who trusted me to be part of such an important chapter in their lives. You helped give me the confidence to take those first steps, and I’ll always be grateful.

Thank you to for being my unofficial branding mentor 🤭. Your advice, support, and encouragement have helped shape not only my business but also my confidence within the wedding industry.

Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting some truly wonderful people within the industry. What started as professional connections has grown into genuine friendships, and I’m so thankful for the support network we’ve built. It’s inspiring to work alongside so many talented individuals.

This year has taught me so much. Every wedding, every consultation, every timeline, and every behind-the-scenes moment has helped me grow. The more I learn about this industry, the more I fall in love with it. I genuinely care about every couple I work with, which is why I still get nervous before each wedding day. Long before your big day arrives, I’ve already gone over your timeline countless times, thought through every detail, and imagined every possible scenario, because I want everything to be as perfect and stress-free as possible for you.

Being trusted to play a small part in one of the most important days of your lives is something I never take for granted.

To every couple who has booked with me, supported me, recommended me, or simply followed along on this journey, thank you. Your support has helped turn a dream into a growing business, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Here’s to another year of love stories, happy tears and making wedding dreams come to life. 🥂

Have you ever dreamed of getting married in Scotland? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

When most people think about a Scottish wedding, they picture castles, dramatic coastlines, rolling hills, ancient forests, and breathtaking views. What many people don’t realise is that these incredible places can become the backdrop to your actual wedding day.

Whether you’re dreaming of exchanging vows beside a loch, standing on a cliff overlooking the North Sea, celebrating in a historic castle, or escaping for an intimate elopement in the Highlands, Scotland offers some of the most beautiful wedding locations in the world.

The best part? You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Planning a wedding from another city, another country, or even another continent can feel overwhelming. Finding the perfect location, understanding the legal requirements, sourcing trusted suppliers, creating a timeline, managing logistics, and making sure everything runs smoothly on the day takes time, experience, and local knowledge.

That’s where I come in.

As a Scotland-based wedding planner, I help couples turn their vision into reality. From finding the perfect venue to coordinating suppliers, managing the details, and ensuring your wedding day feels effortless, I’m here to guide you through every step of the process.

If you’ve ever looked at a beautiful Scottish landscape and thought, “I’d love to get married there,” send me a message. I’d love to help you explore what’s possible.

I NOW DECLARE… THE PETRIES ✨

A wedding day full of surprises, personality, and unforgettable moments, with the biggest reveal being Kaitlin’s stunning fuchsia pink wedding dress! From our very first conversations, Kaitlin and Kyle made it clear that they weren’t interested in following traditions just for the sake of it. They wanted a wedding that reflected them: bold, fun, vibrant, and completely unique.

From the moment they shared their vision with me, I knew this was going to be something special. Both of them were buzzing with excitement about the surprises they had planned for their guests, and every meeting was filled with creative ideas, laughter, and plenty of “what if we did this?” moments. Together, we refined and perfected those ideas, creating a day that felt authentic and iconic.

Their day was packed with personality, from the unconventional colour palette that stood proudly apart from the crowd, to the incredible tattoo artist who gave guests the chance to leave with a permanent reminder of an unforgettable day.

It’s safe to say Kaitlin has well and truly been bitten by the wedding bug, and I’m thrilled that she wants to join me at future wedding fayres and events. If anyone can inspire couples to embrace their personalities and create a wedding that breaks the mould, it’s her.

Kaitlin and Kyle’s wedding was vibrant, fearless, fun, and completely unforgettable. A perfect reminder that the best weddings are the ones that stay true to the couple at the heart of them.

Thank you for the photos.

I Now Declare… THE DAVIDSONS ✨

What a joy it was to plan Neil & Sabia’s beautiful wedding day. Getting to know their story and being part of such a special chapter in their lives was truly an honour.

From the incredible Dhol and Pipes bringing such energy and emotion to the day, to the meaningful blend of two cultures coming together so perfectly, every moment was unforgettable. The all-white décor by Thoughts and Crosses was absolute perfection, creating such an elegant atmosphere, while Corra kept the celebration alive from start to finish ✨

A huge thank you to Meldrum House for being the most wonderful venue to work with, and to Diaz Kidd for being an absolute joy to coordinate with throughout the day.

Wishing Mr & Mrs Davidson a lifetime of love, happiness, and unforgettable memories together 🤍
