Marie & Matt’s Wedding, Edinburgh Castle, followed by The Scotsman Hotel
We remember the first time we met Marie and Matt all those months ago and their dreams for their Edinburgh wedding… we instantly knew it was going to be a cracking day and it was all that and more…We loved hearing about all their ideas throughout their planning. These two put so much thought and detail into their day to make sure that all their guests had a ball as they joined them for a weekend up in Edinburgh. And boy did they!
Marie and Matt chose a soft vintage theme to their day, holding their celebrations at the iconic Edinburgh Castle followed by the Scotsman Hotel, adding a good dose of Scottish-ness into their day. We loved all Marie’s vintage details, from her dress and accessories through to the girls shoes and the lace and bunting decorating the chairs and the Scotsman Hotel. And those handmade stitched name places – all made by bridesmaid Lucy – beautiful. We were even given our own – check out Facebook to see these. Thank guys – so thoughtful.
There were a few firsts on the day two… the first time we’ve ever had the Red Arrows do a fly past (just for Marie and Matt of course!), the first time these two became husband and wife – in fact the first time Matt became Marie’s wife – with a few giggles over that one… and the first time the new steps at the Scotsman steps were opened – just in time for Marie and Matt’s wedding.
Marie and Matt thank you for finding us. We were so delighted to be part of your wedding and have loved getting to know you two. You treated everyone to an amazing day and weekend too. Here’s some of our favourite photographs. Can’t wait to show you them all on your next Edinburgh jaunt. You two rock!
Speak soon,

This was the moment when Marie was invited to take Matt as her new “wife” a slight faux pas on the by the registrar! Loved it!
The Scotsman Steps which join The Scotsman Hotel to Waverly Station and were just opened on the previous day – each of the 104 steps has been made from a different colour of marble and has been restored as part of a £250,000 restoration project. How fab do they look? We had to do some pictures of Marie and Matt on them…
At night, before their first dance, Marie popped on a stunning necklace and her hair done again. Soo gorgeous…

Real Life Wedding: St Michael’s Linlithgow, followed by Dundas Castle
From our very first meeting with Catherine and Alex, when they told us about their Dundas Castle wedding, we were grinning from ear to ear. These two are warm, easy going and love each other to bits. The way they speak about their family and friends made it clear that this wedding was going to be a blast from beginning to end.
Real Life Wedding: Seamill Hydro
The Seamill Hydro is one of those wedding venues where you feel like you’ve escaped for the weekend. For Kirsty and Ross their wedding was all about ’emotional hilarity’ which is a phrase we understand completely. These two chose marriage because they love each other to bits and they wanted to share that with their family and friends (who they are super close to). But also life is too short not to have an absolute blast whenever you get the opportunity so why let your wedding day be anything less that 100% fun?
Real Life Wedding: Drumsheugh Gardens and Noto, Edinburgh
Cori and Ian’s wedding was magical. From their ceremony (a private garden in the heart of Edinburgh’s new town) to their party (dinner at their favourite restaurant with their closest family and friends) it was a dream. Add to that a moment set aside for their firstlook and quality time spent in the gardens sipping champagne, hanging out with their favourites and even walking with their daughter little P and first born four legged Finn.
