This is a cozy and alluring autumnal celebration in an elegant Scottish country estate, filled with the season's beauty, a sweetly personalized humanist ceremony, along with a delicious dinner by candlelight. This is the marriage of, an actress, and her love Jonny, who works in advertising. They were married on 2 November 2019 in the beautiful, family-run, encompassed by woodland around the Fife coast in Scotland.
"We both wanted a cozy, autumnal wedding in Scotland. Cambo was even further away than we initially planned, however, it ticked all of the boxes. It looks quite grand but is a very relaxed place without any set rules or methods of doing things. The event planner Louise is chilled out (but insanely efficient!) also it didn't seem like a factory for weddings."
"My Maid of Honour wound up choosing a dress from my very own wardrobe, and my sister wound up going for any sparkly dress, which looked lovely with my niece's white flower girl dresses, and cardi – both bought for sale."
Jonny wore good blue wool and cashmere blend having a burgundy silk tie, and the groomsmen wore coordinating blue suits of their very own choosing.
"Suitsupply offered an easy range of top quality, well-fitting suits that don’t cost our planet and appear good around the day. All the ushers chose to coordinate wearing their very own blue suits, which we had absolutely nothing to do with – great work lads!"
"My Dad walked me on the aisle wearing a kilt, which I'd never witnessed before. He looked amazing! I chose to walk on the aisle for an acoustic version of September Fields by Frazey Ford."
It's also worth noting that as Ali and her Dad walked down the aisle, a fireplace alarm was discontinued! Although initially startling, it did function as a great ice breaker!
"I would be a little disorientated at the start! Having this amazing group contribute to our ceremony brought me straight back into the room, and solved the problem by focusing on why I was there. Looking back, I think the alarm broke the ice for which was to be considered a very personal ceremony having a lot of laughter and sincerity at the same time."
I'm pleased to be sharing the job of today, whose natural, documentary-style lent itself perfectly to Ali and Jonny’s relaxed celebration.
"Patrick suggested we spent the time going for any little walk, just us, also it was a moment of calm I enjoyed. We wanted the photographs to become candid and authentic, which's exactly what we've got. He was amazing around the day, everyone felt chilled around him, looking back on the photos we believe he really captured the love and also the fun! I'd recommend him to anyone."
"My cousin fiddle whilst we signed the register, and our great friend Mel wrote and browse an incredible piece about us, the way we met, and our relationship."
"We met in London in 2015 through our great mutual friends, who have been both within the wedding party. We got engaged after three years of dating. Jonny proposed to me within our bedroom one morning in December with the ring tied around our dalmatian’s collar. We planned the marriage in about 10 months, knowing we desired to get hitched in autumn."
"We wanted your day to feel comfortable yet sincere, and for those our family and friends who had traveled to date to feel treated to some great party which was just as much about thanking them because it was about celebrating our marriage. We didn’t have set themes but simply chose stuff we liked, also it ended up being very cozy and autumnal."
After dinner, a nearby ceilidh band (sadly no details supplied) played an hour or so long set within the ballroom.
"It was completely raucous and chaotic, and brilliant. We then went back towards the courtyard where we'd our ceremony, where played their amazing funk into the wee hours."
It was at this time that Ali swapped her embroidered dress for any simple, stylish slip dress; an item she had chosen before the Temperley dress. She decided she may be too cold if she wore it during the day, but kept it for dancing, and today plans to dye it or transform it into a jumpsuit.
Words of Wedded Wisdom
"Have someone inside your wedding party be aware of running order and timings of the day which means you don't clock watch, or find the food is cold because speeches have operated on. Even though we'd the incredible Louise at Cambo running things for all of us, I was glad that people allocated our great friend Dan to become her right-hand man for timings, because he was the main one sitting near us at dinner. You want things to operate on time, but without them feeling just like a military event!"
"Relax and set your trust in those people which means you can just benefit from the whole day yourselves. Stuff goes wrong, but take it inside your stride. We had a fireplace alarm set off, and I continued walking on the aisle, and we laughed about this. What else are you able to do?!"
