Joanne and John, who flew all of the way over to scotland from lA, were married at The Rosebery House just outside of Edinburgh, SCotland. The Rosebery House is one of the loveliest scottish country home wedding venues that is only a short half hour from the city center of Edinburgh. not only does Rosebery House have a stunning garden and intimate chapel on the property, but just across the road is the rosebery steading, which is a larger venue for weddings with more guests. Rosebery Steading has a stunning courtyard, lodging for up to 28 guests as well as two large barn spaces for dancing, a live band or a formal dinner setting.
Joanne and john really utilized the entire rosebery venue estate. They had a welcome BBQ on the night before their wedding day in the backyard of the Rosebery house. They had it catered and winton brewery had a bar truck for all of their guests. The back of the Rosebery House had a lovely sunroom that was large enough to seat their families and friends at one long table, And they had a piano and guitar duiet, from members of Killer City Sound, playing live music during the welcome dinner.
JOanne, john and their closest friends and family spent the night between the rooms at both the rosebery house and rosebery steading, so they could all wake up and have breakfast together at the country house. Joanne had the lovely suzanne Christie do her hair and makeup in a suite overlooking the Rosebery garden and chapel entrance. there is a courtyard in the center of rosebery house where john was waiting for her to meet him for their first look just minutes before the ceremony in the chapel. Joanne then met her dad for a first look in the front of the rosebery house where he then walked her through the garden all of the way to the front of the chapel, passing by a bagpiper who was playing them in with classic scottish tunes.
After the chapel ceremony, my husband and I, along with the filmmaker, Toby from Handcraft pictures, walked around the roserbery house grounds for their wedding portraits before a vintage car drove them across the street to meet thier guests in the courtyard of rosebery steading for their outdoor cocktail hour. A saxophonist was playing live while apps and cocktails from wilde thyme were floating around. everyone eventually was led into one of the converted barn dining halls at rosebery steading for a seated multiple course dinner, where wild flower workshop had put together beautiful floral installations and table centerpieces from local foraging in the area and from all around the estate.
After dinner, espresso martinis and old fashions were handed out to everyone in the rosebery steading courtyard on their way into the other barn hall for a night of dancing to the live music of Killer City Sound. Two of the bandmates had a fun time trying to teach the americans how to do the ceilidh dances, which is always very entertaining to watch, in the most fun way possible. joanne and john went back to the rosebery house garden at sunset for a few more portraits and a slow dance as the sun went down in Scotland. at the end of the night, these two were wed in the loveliest country house scottish estate and spent the night dancing away and spending time with their loved ones.

Rosie and Sean decided to fly all the way to Scotland from America to get married at a romantic seaside castle just on the outskirts of Edinburgh, at the lovely Barnbougle Castle. Barnbougle Castle is truly a beautiful piece of history. It’s origins date back to the 13th century and is placed right in the center of the Dalmeny Estate, near South Queensferry.
Before driving over to Barnbougle Castle, Rosie started the morning of her wedding day at The Scotsman Hotel, getting ready in a bridal suite overlooking the Edinburgh city skyline. When I arrived at The Scotsman Hotel, Mercedes (the owner of the design-led wedding planning studio of Scarlett & Bell) was there ready to go with all of the details and plans to make sure their wedding day went by seamlessly, which of course it did. I always love not only working alongside talented individuals, but ones I consider encouraging friends in the industry! Ever since I moved to Edinburgh when I married my (very Scottish) husband, I’ve been grateful to be able to form a small community of like-minded friends who have the same design-led mindsets on wedding days, and of course can run a tight ship with the couple and guests feeling their most relaxed and in wedding bliss selves. Anyways, that was a long ramble, but to conclude, I highly suggest hiring Mercedes of Scarlett & Bell to help with you wedding planning in Scotland, whether you are from here or from abroad. Fina Beauty’s team was also there putting the finishing touches on Rosie at The Scotsman. Once her hair and makeup was completed, we headed over to The Royal Mile to capture a first look for her and Sean. Of course The Royal Mile can be busy, but there are plenty of quiet corners I am happy to suggest so that couples can have an intimate and personal moment away from the crowds.
Once we finished taking bridal portraits on The Royal Mile, a vintage car picked up Rosie from The Scotsman Hotel and drove her over to Barnbougle Castle just in time for the wedding ceremony. I arrived to the venue just before Rosie, alongside Matt Willoughby, who was the wedding filmmaker for the day. He is also someone I would recommend for a relaxed, friendly and unique eye to create a cinematic wedding experience for you to relieve in motion. I was able to capture all of the stunning wedding floral installations that were done by Adelaide’s Flowers just before the wedding ceremony started, which was beautifully held outside on the Barnbougle Castle terrace, overlooking Edinburgh just beyond the waterfront. After the wedding ceremony, which was full of beautiful Scottish wedding traditions, the couple walked out in front of Barnbougle Castle as the bagpiper played and confetti was thrown at them by all of their loved ones.
The rest of the evening was filled with drinking and delicious courses by Wild Thyme with their loved ones in the main dining hall of Barnbougle Castle, sitting outside on the terrace with coffee and Sicilian Pastry Shop cake and then dancing the night away to the live band, The Soul Establishment. It is so beautiful to see so many Americans enjoying the scottish culture and their heritage, and especially in such a romantic history castle, like Barnbougle. x
