How to Plan for Unexpected Weather on Your Scotland Wedding Day

Hey there, lovely couples gearing up for your Scotland outdoor wedding! So, you’ve chosen the land of enchanting lochs and rolling hills for your big day – fantastic choice! But let’s have a wee chat about something you might be pondering: that famously unpredictable Scottish weather.

As a seasoned wedding photographer who’s pretty much seen it all in Aberdeen, I’m here to guide you on how to ace your Scotland wedding weather backup plan.

First things first, let’s embrace the unpredictable nature of Scotland’s weather. There’s something quite romantic about misty highlands and soft rain – it adds a touch of magic to your photos. Trust me, as someone who’s scrambled up many trails and ducked under branches in Aberdeen for the perfect shot, a bit of weather can make for some stunning and unique memories.

When it comes to preparing for unpredictable weather in Scotland, it’s so important to have a ‘Plan B’ in place. If you’re dreaming of an outdoor wedding, make sure your venue has an indoor option that you love just as much. A cosy castle hall or a rustic barn in Aberdeen can be just as enchanting as a loch-side ceremony.

Be sure to chat with your wedding vendors! They’ve pretty much seen every twist and turn a Scottish sky can offer and they’re pros at preparing for unpredictable weather. From the florist who knows just how to keep those blooms perky in a drizzle, to the caterer who can whip up a cosy feast no matter the weather. Lean on their expertise for ways to weather-proof your day.

We love a bit of Scottish drizzle, especially in ​​Aberdeen, but let’s keep your guests comfy! Stock up on umbrellas, cosy blankets, and maybe even a warm drink station. It’s these thoughtful touches that guests remember.

Scotland’s weather invites you to be both stylish and practical. Brides, consider a beautiful shawl or a chic bridal jacket. Grooms, a stylish tweed might be just the ticket. And for those stunning pre-wedding shoots, let’s pick locations where your attire shines, no matter the weather.

As your photographer, I live for those authentic, joy-filled moments, no matter the weather. The charm of a Scotland outdoor wedding is in its spontaneity – the way a gust of wind catches a veil or how raindrops add sparkle to your bouquet. These are the moments that truly tell the story of your day.

Remember, your wedding day is about celebrating your love, and a bit of weather only adds to the story. Keep a positive mindset and don’t let the forecast dampen your spirits. After all, they say rain on your wedding day is good luck!
