Chloe & Theos Dream day....

Chloe & Theos wedding was actually re-scheduled due to covid. It had been rescheduled twice before. Chloe and her partner Theo were scheduled to get married June 2021 at Brodie Castle in the highlands, which due to covid couldn't go ahead. In the meantime, they moved into the servants wing of the Hill of Tarvit Mansion and had been living there for the past year. When they realised that the wedding would need to be rescheduled from June, they decided they'd really like to be married at the Hill of Tarvit because they love it so much. They've basically had the estate to themselves. The property was closed so it was just them, one other tenant, the gardeners and various dog walkers on 250 acres.

Pink princess fairytale custom made gown…

Chloes dress colour was a surprise so she opted to do a first look with just her and Theo which was very romantic. Waiting in the walled garden, surrounded by roses and the smell of lavender, Theo stood looking very 007 in his tuxedo as the sun shone down.

Both being creative these two put together the day the way they wanted. Chloes mum made Chloe the dress of her dreams. Delicate layers of pink organza and tulle teamed with a sweetheart neckline. For the evening celebrations Chloe then changed into another stunning gown. Short with a flared skirt for dancing in green satin teamed with audrey hepburn style gloves. They asked their guests to come dressed in black tie, ballgowns and crowns which meant the guests also got to dress up for the day aswell.
