A Risk Worth Taking


Katrina & James

Real Life Wedding: Dundas Castle


Dundas Castle makes for a pretty fabulous destination wedding location. And the wedding of Katrina and James was, in their own words “a dream come true”

We loved all of their personal touches – this was a wedding where family and friends were involved in every single part and the emotion was incredible. Even Grandma Donna was part of the day as Katrina had carefully added her lace into her own wedding dress.

A major highlight for this pair was the moment the saw each other at the top of the aisle. With Koen on violin there were few dry eyes in the house. We also love that Katrina was blown away by how handsome James was (even better than the model she chose the kilt from ????)

For us, one of the most incredible parts of the day was the vows Katrina and James made to their kids during their ceremony. So. Special.

Thank you Mr and Mrs Risk for letting us be part of your epic Scottish wedding. Made all the more special by waiting a little longer than planned. It was sooo worth it and those Scottish Risks definitely know how to make a party a party!

#BigBlueSkyLove,

Alie & Niels xx

Real Life Wedding: Portland Parish Church Troon, followed by the Lochgreen House Hotel


25 April 2025

Wedding days are always unique and special, but for us Kirsty and Andy’s holds a special place in our hearts… we’ve known Kirsty for what feels like forever and we knew this was going to be a day filled with so much love and heart. It was that and more so.. This pair and their family and friends had the best day. One of Kirsty (and her Dad’s) favourite moments was the aisle walk in the church. It’s one of those memories that will also stay with us forever. Talk about epic entrance – the goosebumps were real.

Real Life Wedding: Signet Library


14 December 2024

A Christmas wedding at the Signet Library is the stuff dreams are made of. Especially when Planet Flowers added their festive finesse, crafting tables bedecked with Christmas-clad candelabras, brilliant book baubles, and gilded tomes as table names. The table plan, piled high with oversized books and quills, was nothing short of storybook perfection.
