Dundas Castle Wedding




Louise has been a dear friend of mine for many years from the running and fitness scene, and i was beyond happy for her when she sported a gorgeous big ring on her finger. Louise, asked me how i thought she should celebrate her wedding, i was so happy with the choices Louise made. 

We designed and made her beautiful circle skirt silk chiffon wedding dress, she had a corded lace overlay with long sleeves on the bodice, internal lace-up and tiny buttons down the back. Her bridesmaids were in dark purple chiffon dresses, Pauline, Louise's sister wore a boat neck style and Hannah, Louise's stepdaughter wore virtually the same dress but with a asymmetric single strap.

For Louise and Glenn's gorgeous Daughter Bonnie and her cousin Annie we made duchess silk satin dresses with lace edgings on neckline, sleeves and hemline, and a lilac belt with bow and sashes.

For Louise's sweet mum we made a marocain silk skirt and blouse with a guipore silk jacket over i lovely cornflower blue shades.

It was an absolute pleasure to be asked to be a guest at the wedding and i will treasure the moment of getting everyone ready in the gorgeous rooms in Dundas Castle, a mix of excitement anticipation and happy nerves. 

The castle was decorated to its maximum beauty with lovely flowers, pedestals and hurricane lamps from Planet Flowers. L.G. Makeup did the lovely natural make up on the bridal party and Gail Rankin from Bespoke Wedding Hair  hair did the bridal party's hairdos. Reel Time Events supplied excellent bag piping.

The day was full of surprises, such as the grooms brother appearing from Australia and an impressive fireworks display at the end of the night.. we did ours to show the Aussies how to do the ceilidh dancing. and such a good time was had by all.

First light Wedding Photography were there all day and took the most wonderful photographs of a very wonderful and special happy day, we are so delighted to be able to share them all with you.

1920'es style wedding at Raasay


Katie's ideas to have a wedding with inspiration from the 1920s and held at the amazing Raasay, a small island off the Isle of Skye, came true.

Katie had spent time on the island previously with her now husband and they fell in love with the place. It was not the easiest place to organise a wedding from Edinburgh, but it all fell into place and certainly showed it was worth it.

We made Katie a soft wedding dress in silk satin with a beaded mesh overlay in ivory colour. She had heavier beaded motifs attached to the dress, beaded edgings on the neckline, a deep keyhole at the back and scallop edgings on the hemline.


We absolutely love the result and Katie was so lovely to work with.

Thank you to Love Skye Photography for supplying the lovely images!
