Old Balgowan - It's all in the fine detail




Old Balgowan is the newest wedding venue on the Midlands Meander and it's exquisite!  Every last detail has been thought of and if not yet implemented, it's in the works.

a Guy & a Girl photography very nicely asked the owner of Old Balgowan if we could venture up there for the next few weekends doing wedding venue photography on behalf of them in order to get some superb shots for our portfolio and of course, which they will be able to use for their website.

The great thing about Old Balgowan is that it's not just a wedding venue...  No no, Old Balgowan has a shoe factory (Born in Africa) which produces Shisheka shoes among many others and also, a newly added winery, distillery and brewery.  The great thing about all this is that while the bridal couple heads off to take their photo's, the wedding guests can go to wine and sherry tastings or even indulge in some retail therapy...

Back to the reason we're here though, the wedding venue...





The venue hire includes use of the Old Balgowan Wedding Chapel situated 10m away from the reception venue which can seat 300 guests.  The stained glass windows add a lovely touch of romance while the bridal couple are wed under the lovely quaintness of the thatch roof.





And just 10m away from the chapel is the incredible reception venue with it's glamorous satin drapping and exquisite leather seats (these cannot be classified as chairs!).







All the small, finer details look perfect against the satin and fairy light "sky".  How dreamy...






Turquoise was the colour of the day and the brightness of it just made the details pop against the Old Balgowan backdrop.
