Scottish Castle Wedding In Classic Style

“Wedding is the sweetest of all sweets”-this I realized on my own wedding day. In my blue tuxedo, I could give a tough competition to the male models who ramp and win hearts with their killer style. It was a gala day as my wedding was in procedure. I met the castle ‘Craigrownie’ as the dawn knocked at my door on 15th September. I don’t want that beautiful day to go out of my mind even today. I am feeling short of words but perhaps ‘splendid’, ‘awesome’, ‘out-of-the-box’ and ‘unprecedented ’ phrases can do a bit of favour for me to convey what I have in my heart for describing the marvel of the castle. I want to highlight the memorable moments of my own wedding to bestow your eyes dreams for wedding like mine.

Nature at its luxury: Lush meadows were stretched as the lovely carpet when I ran my eyes around. I was spell bounded.  It seemed as the entire nature had acquired youth to make. The pavements were clean. Shrubs were popping with their perfect beauty while bordering the water bodies.  The fountain in my front was soothing with its murmuring. What more I could have expected for my dream wedding at Scottish castle!

Theme of white flowers: Amid green beauty of surrounding, when my bride came ramping on the red carpet my heart immediately evoked the image of a pink rose. Her ivory mermaid gown with the detailing of stones was posing her more like a mermaid. The bouquet she held in her hands made me feel as if a rose has roses in her hands. It was stunningly awesome. I felt as if I fell in love with her again. These white roses were fixed to every vase on the tables, poles and corner of the reception room. It was like I, with my gorgeous spouse, was in the garden of white roses. 

      

Cake of my dreams: After exchanging woos and rings before all the witnessing guests, we moved in the exclusive rental castle of Scotland. There, a gigantic wedding cake was waiting to be cut. It had ribbons and detailing of festoons which marked the artistic beauty of the chef who played with the creams on the cake. Anyhow, it was cut and everyone out there hooted & whistled. 

Music set the background: Music set the perfect stage in manicured garden as well as in the reception room. The melodious sound of guitar and the songs that violin produced tickled all the way. The stringing musical notes stirred love in the air. It was the best wedding at castle idea that I loved.

It’s time for shutterbugs: How could the shutterbugs stay behind! They had work every time. From ramping of bride and groom to the cocktail party, there were at least five cameramen who captured each and every moment of my big day. The flashes of cameras were invoking the feel as if we are the celebrities. I was in love with this status which only the showbiz stars enjoy.

Walked under moon-lit sky: The evening gifted us that pleasant moment for which I had been waiting since morning. The sky began to clad with stars. I got the chance to go on long walk with my spouse in the lawn of castle. We had hand in hand. Our partners were none other than the air, the sky, the stars and the birds. I, with my wife, wanted to pause that moment but it had to go away. We left for talking alone to enjoy the intimacy that the castle gifted us.

My Vintage Hen Party

Vintage Hen Party

Ask a bride-to-be, how is she feeling? Her blushed cheeks will say how exciting she is at core. She walks on cloud nine as very soon she would say ‘I do’. It is going to be turning point of her life. But before that, a hidden desire thrives. Of course, it is for enjoying every bit of bachelorhood with her close buddies..

I went through the similar thought of before tying the knot. Some ideas of Scotland hen party was tossing in my mind. But which one, my needle struck at that. I wanted a unique yet awesome idea as my list of invitees had maidens, teenagers, adults and even, granny too. It was my party. So, I decided to do it my way. I chose Vintage style. It’s unique and stylish too.

I booked an exclusive castle on rent. After all, I wanted the entire setting truly CLASSIC. And what would be more suitable to my dream of vintage bachelorette party than a rental castle! I rang all my invitees to reach at the venue on weekend. The theme I had already dropped to their ears. And I, also, passed sleepless night invoking how I would look in actress ‘Monroe’ look.

I was a little bit worried about the catering and the concierge services. But I was my false notion. Or, I should rather say that the castle services were outstanding. Among my group of 20, no one was left admiring the way they cared. From make-up room to dining table, no reason they gave us to shout, get irritated and do negative campaigning back home.

Today, all my friends pass no single day without recalling that day. Sandy, my best pal, caught eye balls of all when she flaunted in her red gown. I could not stop applauding for my granny who was dazzling in Queen Diana’s snazzy cream gown. But the most stylish vintage look was given to all by stunning fascinator, cocktail, pillbox, derby and vagabond styled hats. The tulle, ribbons, feathers and the laces in them were complementing each one’s catchy make-up and oomphy frocks and gowns. They were studded as crown on curly, straight, perm and even, beautiful buns.

We raised the toast in style and said “Cheer” together while sipping cocktail of our choice. Light music and dim light of chandelier were hypnotizing us to stay there for life long. We danced, gossiped and had dinner at late night. It was no less than a vintage theme based ramp show. It’s truly said Old is gold.

My ‘Karaoke’ Experience At Castle House Party

What do you prefer- a castle or a hotel, for throwing birthday bash? Remember! There would hit your all near and dear ones for seeking every fun of house party. Hotels are ‘ok’ for spending few moments together but castles are unbeatable if you talk about living precious intimate moments with your loved ones. 

Scottish house party at castle sounds tickling because a castle can give you the cushion of royal touch inside with the perfect fusion of elegant landscapes in its surrounding. Last month, I underwent this beautiful feeling at house party in Craigrownie Castle. I was just an invitee there but felt as if I was a host. My tongues did not stop sending words of praise to the servicemen of the castle when I took off.

When my cousin’s call for the party in the castle came to me I was not at all interested for being its part. I am interested in hens’ night out for and sneaking in exclusive stag parties in Scotland. But the longing to have date with the royal place landed me there. And believe me! I was dumbstruck at the sight of its unprecedented beauty. While walking through the lush green garden, I paved in the splendid castle. My blinking eyes were telling how much amazed I was. The word ‘awesome’ sounds meager for complimenting its splendor and grandeur.

Anyhow, let me disclose what took away my heart indeed. Eyes of all onlookers stuck to the festoon of roses and leaves on caramel cake. The way it was decorated was enough to pop up everyone’s eyes.  But the most stunning was ‘Karaoke’. My feet were frozen when my name was announced to sing. I was like ‘WHAT, Am I supposed to sing!’ Everybody knew there that I am very shy. But I had to fulfill the wish of the birthday girl. So, I had to call an amateur singer in me at rented out exclusive castle.

Holding mike, I was on the stage. My feet were trembling and stage-phobia was tightening its claws in me. Thundering claps of the spectators filled me with some courage. All gazing eyes made me reluctant to sing at first. But mustering courage, I matched my voice with the melodious music. Sooner, the crowd began to sway and sing with me. Waiving and clapping hands made me realized as if I was a ‘Rock Star’ of the night. The fear was gone astoundingly. Was it a magic? Perhaps, it’s the intimacy of the castle that boosted me to take way hearts of all. Since then, I have been enjoying the star kind of status at every party of my family or pals.

5 Common Mistakes People Make for Planning a Party – How to Avoid Them

Whether it's your child's first birthday party, or your 25th anniversary party, or even just a stag party; what you really don’t want is the party to suck and suffer because of one simple yet disastrous mistake. Although, you’re still going to make mistakes but you can avoid the major ones by keeping these few pointers in mind.

1. Not making a guest list: You really wouldn’t want to begin a feud with a friend or relative, just because you forgot to invite Uncle Sam or you called Mike at the last minute. In amidst of planning for the party, it’s easy to forget some names. So, it’s best to make a list of guests well in advance.

2. Not deciding a theme: A party with no identity at all is just as good as not having one. It’s important to set the theme for the party so the guests know how to show up for the event. An anniversary party will be different from that of a child’s birthday, and that of first anniversary will be different from that of a 25^th anniversary, for example,(25th is silver-make it the main color in your palette for decorations and tableware).

3. Sending the invitation out too late-or too early: As mentioned in point one, sending an invitation late can hamper with people’s plan and they might not be able to show up for the party. People may forget the invitation accidently, if it arrives too early, a late invitation might not give guests enough time to plan to attend. The best time would be to send the incitation 2-3 weeks before the event and use technology to do it fast: WhatsApp, Facebook, Text Messaging, etc.

4. Not giving important information to your guests: Don’t forget to add some necessary information in the invitation like dress code, theme for the evening, will there be alcohol beverages, leave phone number details, address of the venue, etc.

5. Inappropriate party venue: Throwing a party in venue which is too big for your guest list can take the fun out of the party and also the big guest list and congested venue.

Tip: You’re going to make mistake, you’re human, the secret is to enjoy yourself and have a good time. It’s your party afterall.
