Real Life Weddings & Photoshoots - 'Carolyn'

Carolyn and Andrew were married in the summer of 2001 at Culcreuch Castle in Stirlingshire, and Carolyn approached us several months prior, looking for the perfect dress to wear at her Celtic wedding.

Andrew, a third generation baker, was making the cake and was decorating it with celtic knots. Meanwhile, Carolyn's mother was making the celtic style bridesmaid dresses, a ring cushion and five banners which were to hang on the castle wall.

To compliment this, Carolyn chose one of our most popular designs, Iona, but with a specific enhancement. She wanted the embroidery and the piping to be made with both gold and silver thread. Of course, when a bride as beautiful as Carolyn feels she needs just that little extra to finish of her wedding day, then who are we to refuse?

All who helped make Carolyn's big day extra special would have been proud with their work Even more so when the wedding photographs were published later that summer in the Scottish Sunday Post.

Grace and Julie would like to thank all brides, photographers and publications who have kindly agreed to the use of images and comments.
