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.

Find The Scottish Wedding Show ring at the below locations and share a photo of it on social media, tagging @scottishweddingshow on Instagram to be in with the chance of winning two general admission tickets to the event. Terms and conditions apply.*

Whether couples are planning a lavish celebration or intimate gathering, we’ve got a wide range of exhibitors that’ll help make your wedding day extra special.

“For the first time, we’re excited to be welcoming James Porter & Son as our headline sponsor, so to celebrate we’re giving Scots the chance to win tickets to The Scottish Wedding Show by sharing snaps of our giant wedding ring on its ‘ring around tour’ of Scotland on social media. We can’t wait to see everyone’s photos and welcome you all to the show – this will be our best one yet!”


Simon Porter, Managing Director of James Porter & Son said: “After 2 successful shows as an exhibitor, it was a natural progression for us to become official sponsor of The Scottish Wedding Show for this year, and next. James Porter & Son has been part of the fabric of the Scottish wedding scene since 1858, spanning 6 generations. We thrive on helping people celebrate life’s finest moments, and the show is another great platform to do that and make new lifelong relationships with those attending.”

At Bijoux Bridal, we pride ourselves on inclusivity and making all brides feel at ease, whatever style of wedding they’re planning. We can’t wait to put our designer collections on display at the show’s Live Catwalk and look forward to helping attendees discover their dream dress.”
