Planning a wedding in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is one of the most photographed wedding cities in Britain, and it is easy to see why. The castle on its rock, the cobbled closes of the Old Town, the Georgian terraces of the New Town and the views from Calton Hill and Arthur's Seat give photographers no end of options within a small area.
How the calendar affects you
August is festival month, and the city fills with visitors. Accommodation becomes scarce, roads and pavements are busy and some suppliers are committed to festival work. The weeks around Hogmanay are similarly busy. If you want those dates, book early and tell guests to secure rooms as soon as possible. Spring and early autumn are often a good balance of light, weather and availability, while winter weddings in the city can be atmospheric with candlelight and warm interiors.
Ceremony freedom in Scotland
Scotland allows religious and belief ceremonies, including humanist ceremonies, to be held almost anywhere, including outdoors. That opens up gardens, beaches and hillsides as well as traditional venues. Civil ceremonies are arranged through the registrar. Notice periods still apply, so contact the registrar well ahead of your date.
Looking beyond the centre
Couples often look along the coast and into the Lothians for country houses, farms and estates with space for a marquee. Musselburgh, Prestonpans and Tranent lie to the east, Penicuik and Bonnyrigg to the south, and Queensferry to the west, where the Forth bridges make a memorable setting. Many of the city's photographers, florists and hair and make-up artists travel to all of these.
- Edinburgh Airport and Waverley station make travel straightforward for most guests.
- Old Town streets are steep and cobbled, so think about footwear and allow extra time for walking between locations.
- Parking in the centre is limited, so plan drop-offs for cars and supplier vans.
Book your venue, photographer and any piper or ceilidh band first, as these are in high demand on popular weekends.
