Scottish Wedding Invitations

Posted in: Uncategorized | December 12th 2009 | no comments

With your fiancé being Scottish by birth you both plan to have your wedding celebration performed in the romantic green settings of Scotland. You have visited the places twice and you have been impressed by the hospitality of the Scottish and their way of leading their life with plenty of symbolic images to relate to the spirit of the Celts, the medieval population that have filled the green hills of Scotland with marks of their existence. The Celtic myths, the religion, even their dreams are the ones to find their expression in the artistic Scottish way of grasping at life and its daily features.

When it came to start planning the event of your wedding, you have taken into account the possibility of creating these cards out of the elements that are representative for the Scottish people and as such for their innermost beliefs in regard to the wedding celebrations. You have some ideas with what to start first in the designing of your Scottish wedding invitations, but you need to get more information regarding the formatting and the printing. You have previously bought an art craft book where plenty of creative ideas gather shapes in different decorative objects, even painting is there to encompass elements from nature combined with water color backgrounds and captured within the wooden frames of a self-created painting.

You have managed to create some of these house decorations all by yourself, and your skills turned to be a pleasant surprise for your fiancé. This is the reason why he accepted for you to be the one to create the Scottish wedding invitations, being at the same time proud with your choice. You told him that you will do first some sketches edited on pages from Word, these one being the "raw material" out of which you will select and decide on the final product of the Scottish style creation. The thought that crosses your mind is to print the Scottish or even better Celtic symbol on one wedding card bordered with tartan cloth cut in not that wide stripes and have them glued on the front page which must look like a photo frame.

This frame will also encompass one of your photo, you think to insert the one with both of you kissing, and the third page will carry the Claddagh Heart symbol, a Celtic one representing two hands holding a crowned heart all of them standing for the meaning of Loyalty, Love and Friendship. This symbol will be on top of the page and underneath the wording will be inserted using some elongated lettering to resemble a little to the old style of writing.

The other sample will contain the symbol of the Scottish Thistle, which is also the national emblem for the region of Scotland, the one that will decorate the front page in a larger format of a drawing, and on the third page a bordering of such thistles but only in tiny format to give space for the specific wording. This design of the card will be also decorated with a ribbon cut out of tartan fabric presented on the top of the card tying the two pages with a small knot to symbolize your decision to tie the knot with the act of holy Scottish marriage.
