Gillian and Daniel travelled from London for a three day celebration at Thirlestane Castle. The wedding party stayed in the Castle’s luxury suites and woodland lodges during their exclusive time at Thirlestane.
Pre-Wedding Day
Upon arrival, guests made themselves at home and settled into their accommodation. In the evening, everyone gathered in the State Dining Room for a family style sharing supper. This was the perfect way for their closest family and friends to catch up and begin building the excitementfor the main celebrations.
Wedding Day
The wedding party enjoyed a relaxed morning with the bride preparations taking place in the Maitland suite and the groomsmen getting ready at the woodland lodges. It was a beautiful summers day, perfect for and outdoor ceremony on the Castle terrace.
Striking white florals and natural foliage lined the grand stair case with beautiful views of the parkland. A delicate violin rendition was played while Gillian and her father walked down the aisle to meet Daniel.
Once the newlyweds had made their vows, they were welcomed down the Castle stairs with a sprinkle of magical confetti thrown by their guests. Fizz and canapés were served on the front lawn and the wedding party enjoyed garden games or relaxing by the fire pits while Gillian and Daniel had some beautiful photographs taken around the castle and grounds.
Dinner & Evening Reception
The wedding party were called to dinner in the State Drawing Room before speeches commenced. Following the wedding breakfast, a cocktail hour began with a selection of tipples served to get the party started. Gillian changed into a fun evening dress to match the vibe and get in the mood for dancing!
The celebrations continued in the vaulted cellars and castle’s courtyard, covered with a clear span marquee. The band had everyone on the dance floor all night long and wood fired pizzas and charcuterie platters were served later in the evening.
The day drew to a close with a fabulous sparkler exit as a final flare to an unforgettable celebration.
