Modern Scottish wedding with Ceilidh Bands Edinburgh
The bagpipes can be employed from ceilidh bands Edinburgh to add atmosphere and grandeur to a wedding. The piper, in full Highland dress, stands at the church door and plays as the guests arrive. Later he leads the couple from the church to the car.
The piping traditions continue, the married couple are frequently piped to the top table of honour with the bridal party. With the cutting of the cake, again a piper is frequently asked to perform and a dirk, ‘sharp highland dagger’, is historically handed over by the piper to start the ‘cutting of the cake’. As the bride slices the 1st piece of cake, custom dictates that her hand is led by that of her new husband. For more info, please quote ref: Ceilidh Bands Scotland LVL
