Real Life Scottish wedding: The Gleneagles Hotel


Rachel & Grant

The Perfect Day


When you plan your wedding months (even years) in advance you imagine exactly how it will go. The details are well thought through so that the day runs smoothly, just exactly as planned. And then a world pandemic starts to unfold just before your wedding day and suddenly everything has to change…

But Rachel and Grant didn’t flinch: they effortlessly transformed their plans, went with the flow and managed to hold the most perfect of wedding days literally days before lockdown.

Guys, this may not have been day you set out to have when we planned this with you all those months ago, but it was still thee most perfect day.  You were not expecting such amazing sun (in March!). You were not planning an outdoor ceremony in the glorious playground. You were not planning an intimate dinner with your closest family and friends. And yet you had the most perfect celebration. We salute you and love both you and your wonderful attitude.

If the days leading up to you wedding were so fluid (for want of a better word!) and you’ve managed to navigate this so skilfully, we know that your marriage and all that lies ahead of you will be the perfect marriage.

Looking forward to seeing you soon (and hugging you in person!) in the not too distant future…

#BigBlueSkyLove,

Alie & Niels xxx

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.
