There is something truly atmospheric about a winter wedding in Scotland, especially when the venue is as iconic as Carlowrie Castle. Yvonne and Mark’s big day was a masterclass in festive elegance, trading the year-round heat of their home in Dubai for the crisp, romantic chill of a Scottish December.
The day began with a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony at Priory Parish Church. While the weather outside was cool, the atmosphere inside was radiating warmth. It was the perfect setting for Yvonne and Mark to exchange their vows before heading off to their castle reception.
Yvonne was breathtaking in her Susanna Rachel Bridal gown—a silhouette that perfectly matched the grand architecture of the castle. Not to be outdone, Mark brought a touch of their Dubai lifestyle to the Highlands, looking sharp in a bespoke tuxedo by Suited & Booted, Dubai.
The atmosphere at Carlowrie is always top-tier, but the entertainment really pushed it over the edge. Ginny & The Tonic kept the Piano Room buzzing during the drinks reception, and once the sun went down, The Rox took over. The dance floor was never empty—exactly what you want for a festive celebration!
