Jumpsuits for weddings, I think my new favourite thing. I think Rachel wore it better than anyone.
I was over the moon when Rachel contacted me about her picking a jumpsuit for her Scottish Highland wedding. She had fixed ideas on style and together we chose the fabrics to achieve the soft heavy drape of the palazzo pant style trouser part and smooth dull satin for the bodice. We structured the bodice with heavy interlining and bones to make it super sharp looking. I love the contemporary look of it. Rachel bought a mesh wrap to wear over the top for the Scottish weather.
Rachel’s veil and the crown were from her mum – accessories that her mum had worn for her own wedding 35 years before. It was a stunning pure silk veil with hand embroidery. Rachel was not sure of the look when she tried it on. We played around with it and attached a comb to the veil. Rachel then placed the headdress more like a crown than a tiara, and it really really works with her lovely long curly hair, and because the outfit is so sharp and clean, it really just works. And I love using things we have already in the family. Treasures were worn by previous generations. So pleased she went for it.
Suppliers
The venue Balnakeilley is a country house near Pitlochry. You can hire the venue for exclusive use. It’s the perfect venue for a whole weekend of partying in the Scottish Highlands. I am totally in love with Balnakeilley AND the owner is a fellow Dane. The house’s decor and restoration are just top-level, and for a Dane, I feel they have hit the exact balance between clean Scandi design and traditional cosy Scottish Country house.
The photographer Lucas from Catching the Moment photographed the day so so well. I love his work. The last wedding we did together with Lucas went viral. You can see it here.
A whole bunch of other suppliers showed up on the day, and did an amazing job.. here are a few to mention:
