What is a Micro Wedding?
A micro wedding beautifully blends the essence of an elopement and a traditional wedding, focusing on the closest family and friends.
The Tale of a Little Merchant Ghost
During our pre-wedding conversation, Lindsay and Spencer shared the charming story behind their proposal, involving a quaint merchant ghost from York. The inspiration for Lindsay’s stunning dress stemmed from this heartwarming moment.
Aikwood Tower – a Perfect Micro Wedding Venue
Nestled in the Scottish Borders, Aikwood Tower boasts over 500 years of history and medieval castle charm. Despite the short and chilly autumn days, the coziness of this beautifully renovated tower provided an ideal setting for their intimate celebration.
Personalising the Micro Wedding
Lindsay’s Ghost London Bridal dress echoed the tale of the little ghost, while Spencer’s attire exuded a 1970s rock star vibe with a velvet jacket and silver boots.
Lindsay and Spencer personalised their ceremony and incorporated ancient Celtic traditions, such as the ring warming and handfasting – symbolising their commitment and love.
They also shared a drink during the ceremony which is connected to the old Scottish traction of drinking from quaich and symbolises trust and sharing. To make it even more special, they written their own wedding vows. All these little elements made their ceremony very personal, romantic and touching.
