Now this, ladies and gents, is how to pull off a Gatsby theme. This beautiful pair held their special day at the always gorgeous Cromlix in Scotland – with its grand facade covered in ivy and perfectly appointed rooms, it was worthy of the glamorous fete. Add in the Bride’s Maggie Sottero gown with a ’20s inspired silhouette and beading and a gold flecked creation by Rosewood Wedding Cakes all captured beautifully by Orange Photographie, and you have a wedding better than what even F. Scott Fitzgerald could imagine. The best part? This version of The Great Gatsby has a happy ending.
From Orange Photographie… Louise and David married on a gorgeous, sunny October day at the luxurious Cromlix Hotel in Scotland. Cromlix, owned by tennis star Andy Murray, provided impeccable service all day long to the couple and their family and made sure their every need was met and expectations exceeded.
The grounds of the hotel were bursting with autumnal color, including the vibrant red vines climbing up the castle-like stone walls. The Bride and Groom based the feel of their day loosely on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, “The Great Gatsby,” and their wedding definitely reminded one of a glamorous 1920s fete – however this story had a happy ending. The Bride’s beaded Maggie Sottero gown had hints of vintage flapper style as did her Ralph Lauren heels.
The couple wed in the hotel’s intimate chapel with only their closest family members in attendance. As is tradition in the UK, the rest of their friends joined them for cocktails and dinner.
From the Bride… It was magical. We based it loosely on a Gatsby theme, and it definitely had that feel. We had exclusive use of the venue, so it felt like our home for the day. Cromlix staff were amazing – as were photographers, florist, reverend, band, and cake maker. Everything went to plan, and the sun shone!
