Finding the perfect wedding venue can be a challenge when you’re looking for something that truly represents you. Mairi and Blair found a perfect solution for their alternative Aberdeen wedding: 

“We searched high and low for a reception venue that wasn’t the generic package, so we reached out to one of our local gig venues, The Lemon Tree, where we have seen many bands over the years. The venue was everything we could have hoped for, dark and cosy with fairy lights and pops of colour with the beautiful florals from Ange at Fauna Flower Folk. Ange got exactly what we had envisaged for the venue styling and flowers. I supplied Ange with empty beer cans to use as vases for the florals, this tied in our love for beer with the pops of colour to the décor.

My bridesmaid, Rachel McCann Illustrates, designed our stationery, all with a nod to AC/DC! We carried the same theme throughout and had the big MC/BB banner as the backdrop to our sweetheart top table and as a photo background for later in the evening. I absolutely loved that our invites and signage were unique to us. We tried to reduce our single-use plastic and paper as much as we could, so Rachel hand-wrote name places on old pieces of fabric, our table plan on empty bottles and used mirrors as signage. We used old records from charity shops as our guest book so that people could write us messages and we can display them at home after the wedding.”
