What Made The Day Unique

In mid-2018, after 12 years together, Gavin and I moved 200 miles north to our new farm and home in the beautiful Scottish Highlands – along with our 130 cows and dog Max. We celebrated the end of a pretty challenging decade with a magical autumnal island wedding at Bute's spectacular Mount Stuart. Every unique detail reflected something of our story. The hand-illustrated invitations, Max as ‘Best Dog’, the humanist ceremony, our favourite song, the secret vows, the celestial theme, the local Scottish ingredients, the first dance to a song about cows, the surprise firework display revealed by bagpipes…!

Wedding Suppliers

The List was the first place I looked – lots of great suppliers in one place. I'm a big fan of Craig and Eva Sanders’ fine art style of wedding photography - they were the first suppliers I booked, along with the amazing Yvonne and Steve, Cherry Tree Films. As we’d adopted Max from Dogs Trust, we decided to make a donation to Dogs Trust instead of splashing out on favours. They provided pin badges and cards - and a ‘Best Dog’ bandana! I also (painstakingly!) made every guest a golden origami star box, filled with chocolate pearly 'planets' and silver 'moons'.
