Scotland’s largest wedding showcase, The Scottish Wedding Show, returns to Glasgow this month (19-20 October) and is giving brides and grooms-to-be the chance to win tickets to the autumn event during its ‘ring around tour’ of Scotland.
Taking place at the SEC, The Scottish Wedding Show, sponsored by James Porter & Son, welcomes up to 200 of the UK’s leading wedding suppliers under one roof, giving couples everything they need to plan their perfect day. The upcoming event will highlight suppliers suitable for all kinds of weddings, from jewellery and weddingwear, to leading venues, entertainment and more, and with Scotland marking 10 years of same sex marriage in 2024, organisers QD Events have ensured inclusivity plays a key part.
To celebrate the return of the event and the show’s new headline sponsor, James Porter & Son, The Scottish Wedding Show is giving away 10 pairs of free tickets to the upcoming show during its ‘ring around tour’ of Scotland next week.
Popping up with a giant wedding ring in iconic locations across Glasgow and Edinburgh from 14-15 October, couples will get the chance to snap a pic with the ring, share it on social media, and begin with the chance of winning two general admission tickets to The Scottish Wedding Show.
