From weddingwear and leading venues, to transport options, entertainment and more, the show is a must-visit for brides and grooms-to-be.

Returning to the event are some of the country’s top wedding suppliers, including five-star city centre venue, Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel; Highlandwear and kilt hire specialists, MacGregor and MacDuff; and luxury wedding car company, Carrs Loch Lomond.

Tsitsi Lynn Makuni, Group Show Manager said: “We’re thrilled to be back at the SEC with Scotland’s top wedding suppliers to give couples a weekend full of inspiration on how to say ‘I do’. 2024 is a special year for us as it marks a decade since same sex marriage was legalised in Scotland, and we’re proud to host an inclusive event that caters to all kinds of celebrations.

“Whether you’re envisioning a lavish party or intimate gathering with family and close friends, the Scottish Wedding Show is the place to be to soak up all the festivities and fun for your big day.”

Being part of this esteemed event allows us to engage in meaningful conversations, share our expertise, and be a part of the joyous journey as couples embark on creating their dream weddings across Scotland.”
