Real Bride Heather: A Magical Day in the Heart of Edinburgh

With the majestic silhouette of Edinburgh Castle watching over them, Heather and her beloved said “I do” in a celebration that was nothing short of enchanting. Set against the rich, historic backdrop of Ghillie Dhu, their wedding day was a timeless blend of romance, Scottish heritage, and modern elegance.

✨ The Look of Love
Heather looked radiant in her off-the-shoulder satin gown by Essense of Australia, chosen from Kudos Bridal Dunfermline. The gown’s structured draping and timeless silhouette were complemented perfectly by a flowing Richard Designs veil, adding a touch of ethereal softness to her bridal look. Expertly tailored by Threads by Gillian Galbraith, every detail was flawlessly fitted.

Her bridal styling was beautifully elevated by Bridal Hair by Caroline Topping, who created a soft, romantic style that framed Heather’s joyful smile. Makeup artist Aimee Toynbee of One Love Bridal Makeup & Hair gave Heather a radiant glow that matched the sparkle in her eyes.

✨ Pearl Bridal Elegance
Heather chose a graceful combination of bridal jewellery that added a touch of classic romance to her look. Her marquise pearl bridal earrings from Emma Rose Jewellery were the perfect finishing touch – delicate, luminous, and elegant. Paired with a matching pearl necklace and her timeless Tiffany & Co. piece, Heather’s wedding accessories offered a stunning balance of modern glamour and heirloom charm.

Her bridal hair accessory, a celestial-inspired headband from Honey & Ember Bridal on Etsy, added a dreamy sparkle to her flowing dark hair – a true crowning glory.

From Buffalo heels to a quick-change into Vans, Heather brought personal charm and practicality to every step of the day.

✨ Dressed to Impress
Her groom wore a traditional tartan kilt ensemble from Kirk Wynd Highland House, bringing classic Scottish charm to the celebration. The bridesmaids glowed in soft dresses from wed2b, with custom alterations by Olga’s Alterations and Dressmaking, ensuring a flawless fit for each one. The mothers of the bride and groom looked resplendent in gowns from Mia Bella and Avenue Boutique, showing that elegance knows no age.

✨ Captured in Time
Every joyful moment was captured with artistry by CBStills – Documentary Wedding Photographer. From the candlelit vows exchanged in the grand hall of Ghillie Dhu to sunlit portraits with the castle behind them, every image tells a heartfelt love story.

✨ Finishing Touches with Flair
Heather carried a soft, romantic bouquet from Demi’s Florist, filled with white roses, eucalyptus, and gypsophila – the perfect pairing with her pearl bridal earrings and satin gown. Guests were welcomed by the sound of Piper Ian Wilson, and enjoyed live acoustic melodies from Danny Scrimshaw during the drinks reception.

The celebration sparkled into the night with a Magic Mirror from RED Events, a showstopping cake by V Louise Anderson, and a full dancefloor thanks to DJ Greg Martin.

✨ Final Details
From The Dried Petal Company’s confetti fluttering like petals in the breeze, to elegant invitations by Lauren Park and luxurious accommodation at The Rutland Hotel, every detail of Heather’s day was steeped in thought and beauty.

Heather’s wedding was a breathtaking celebration of love, style, and Scottish soul. From pearl bridal jewellery to the most romantic candlelit kiss, every element was chosen with love and care. We’re honoured that Emma Rose Jewellery played a small but sparkling part in this unforgettable day.

Wishing Heather and her husband a lifetime filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories.
