Rachel and Justin were married last year at Ingliston country club . In a new style blog I’ve left it to Rachel and Justin to describe their wedding day in their own words starting with the proposal.
THE WEDDING VENUE – INGLISTON COUNTRY CLUB
We had been to previous weddings there and it was always so classy and elegant… it needed little decoration and the layout suited us perfectly for a larger party…. ps the wedding events team at ingliston country club is amazing!!
THE PROPOSAL
Me and Justin met nearly 9years ago in the Playdrome, he says I stalked him (he’s a liar). He proposed after 8yrs…. whilst I was unpacking my ASDA shop… needless to say it took me by surprise but I loved it, unexpected and private – just me and him x
THE WEDDING DRESS
My dress was from Eleganza... NOT what I would have chosen beforehand but I cried when I tried it on… I can’t thank Francesca enough for helping me! Really did find my dream dress!
THE WEDDING THEME AND STYLE
I chose sunflowers as my theme… a little bit of colour in a winter wedding! My grandparents used to make me and all my cousins grow sunflowers every year and whoever had the tallest won… they make me smile x
ANY TIPS TO BRIDES CURRENTLY PLANNING THEIR WEDDING?
“Relax and enjoy it! Please please take a moment, I did during dinner, and look at how much everyone is enjoying themselves! You and your new hubby organised this day!! Be proud x”
THE GROOM AND GROOMSMENS SUITS
The boys found their kilts in Totally Tartan in Loch Lomond Outlets Alexandria! Stewart dressed them all on the morning of the wedding so it was a weight lifted!!
HOW DID YOU FEEL WALKING DOWN THE AISLE AND DURING THE SERVICE?
I was nervous/emotional… desperate to see my groom! It was a lovely experience… everyone you love in the one room happy to celebrate with you!

The most natural ones, the ones we didn’t know you were taking, they make us laugh and they show us how we normally are… goofballs x
HOW DID YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR GETTING YOUR PICTURE TAKEN
Simon you made it very easy… a little awkwardness at first but you made me come out my shell and relax! Thanks very much!
WHAT WERE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO ABOUT THE DAY?
Officially becoming a Jones! Celebrating with our loved ones and wearing my dream dress of course!
THERE WERE A NUMBER OF AMUSING MOMENTS IN THE SPEECHES,WERE THERE ANY PARTICULAR STAND OUT MOMENTS?
The speeches were all fantastic!! Thank you to my Dad and my new Brother in Laws (for embarrassing me in the best way)! Justin’s speech was short and sweet… made everyone laugh and didn’t even mean to x
WHICH SONG DID YOU CHOSE FOR FIRST DANCE ANT WHY?
We chose Katy Perry – Teenage Dream (Glee Version)… it just suits us perfectly!
MOST MEMORABLE PART OF THE DAY
My dad picking as surprise song for our first dance was lovely, will stay in my heart forever! Everything will stay with me… getting ready with my bridal party in the morning, our vows, speeches and most of all partying with our loved ones x
