What could be more romantic then a wedding held at a castle in Scotland? The countryside, the history and the architecture of a Scotland castle wedding can be yours. Numerous castles have wedding packages available.

The first one recommended is the Birkhill Castle. It is located near Fife, Scotland. It sits on top of the cliffs overlooking the sea. This castle has been visited by Kings of old and was actually a fortress. Castle wedding ceremonies at this location will be sure to include a fairy tale atmosphere. Weddings can be held in any part of the castle including the chapel with its curved archway. The spectacular view overlooking the sea will make the perfect setting for photographs. The castle can accommodate up to sixty wedding guests and is open from March-April through October 31st.

Another beautiful location to host a wedding in is the Eilean Donan Castle. This is said to be one of Scotlands most romantic castles. The views surrounding this castle include mountains and forests. The location is one that is romantic in itself, being situated where three great sea lochs come together. Wedding planners are available to make sure your wedding is perfect in every way. Many couples from all over the world have chosen the Eilean Donan. Weddings are held after 6:00 pm from April to October. For weddings in November through March, you can choose to have it at any time of the day. The hall can accommodate up to ninety people. Depending on the weather, the ceremony can also be held outside, allowing the guests to take in the magnificent view. The reception can be held inside or out. The Eilean Donan castle is sure to be a most romantic setting for any wedding.

Wedding dresses come in so many different styles these days but many brides-to-be are wearing wedding dresses that have been handed down through the family.

This tradition is becoming more popular, especially with the cost of some new wedding dresses being extremely restrictive and modern styles not being to everyone’s taste.

There is something special about wearing antique wedding dresses. Of course their value is more sentimental than newly bought wedding dresses and I believe that they add an almost magical touch to an already special day.

Many wedding dresses that have been passed down through the generations are made of wonderful silk and lace and the extra age of them often enhances their overall appearance.

Of course these wedding dresses need to have been stored correctly to prevent any damage whilst they are waiting for their next appearance.

It is also possible to find antique wedding dresses at specialist second-hand clothing stores and, if you are really lucky, you can find some wonderful wedding dresses in thrift stores if you live in a particularly affluent area.

Not everyone wants to keep their wedding dresses and you could buy one for a fraction of its original price and add your own personal touches to it if you prefer.

Some ideas for enhancing wedding dresses are to sew little bows, beads or other accessories onto the skirt or bodice, or both if you fancy!
