The May issue of Your Scottish Wedding magazine is coming soon!

It’s been a busy couple of months for team YSW!

Not only have we been working away on the Your Scottish Wedding Awards but we’ve also just sent the May issue of the magazine to press.

And have we got a treat for you!

Here’s just a few things to look out for…

1 Wedding experts’ Plan B dream wedding

Ever wonder how wedding industry insiders would tie the knot in a skies-the-limit celebration? We’ve asked three sets of experts who are engaged themselves to give us an insight into their actual wedding plans and to share their dreamy Plan Bs.

Expect some gothic Halloween styling, a rustic Mediterranean affair and a cute Alice in Wonderland meets Escape to the Chateau celebration.

2 Dressmaking glossary

No one expects you to be an expert and au fait with all the terminology when you first start looking for your dream dress.

However, it can be helpful to have an understanding of how your dress is going to be made and know your couture from your made to measure.

Our columnist Rachel of Rachel Scott Couture unpicks all the terms to make dress shopping that little bit simpler.

3 Families at war

Preparing for your big day should be one of the happiest periods in your life but what if worrying about how your warring family will act during your wedding mars the run-up?

Our writer Claire’s been speaking to the experts about how to head-off all awkward situations.

4 Groomed to perfection

It’s all about the little finishing touches to complete your groom’s outfit this issue. From watches to personalised cufflinks and bespoke sporrans there are so many options to really own your wedding day lewk!

5 The big interview

This issue we chat to Georgia Flynn from designer True Bride to find out all about the brand’s many different collections, the inspiration behind this year’s offerings and her all time favourite dress.
