Old Balgowan - All the Glamour

Working with Old Balgowan has been fantastic as we've seen all kinds of weddings.  This past Saturday all the bells and whistles were on show for the wedding of Stephan and Kellie.  With guests flying in from all corners of the world, it was time for Old Balgowan to put their best foot forward and pull out a stunner.  Judi and her team had been gearing up for this wedding for some time now and made the entire affair seem effortless.

The venue was exquisitely dressed, from the beautiful draping on the ceiling (a standard feature at Old Balgowan) down to the glass crystals sprinkled over the tables.   I'm always amazed at how the Old Balgowan team manages to make the same venue appear so differently at each of their weddings.  While the key elements are the same, the fine details are always so individual that no two weddings ever appear similar.  A grand achievement considering weddings is what they do.

The beautiful pale roses set off by the delicate gold trim, placed perfectly on the crisp white table clothes, gave the main table a freshness experienced at very few weddings.  And the beautiful gold detail found on all the tables was repeated in the chairs, which of course had a very special touch added to them.

The delicate peach, yellow, white and pale pink roses adorned every detail of the room, including the wedding cake.

While the details may be fabulous, the day certainly belongs to the bride and groom who in this case had flown out from the UK to spend their special day back on home turf.  The bride, Kellie, and her "team" looked as fabulous as they prepared to make their big entrance...

As did the groom, Stephan, and his "crew".

Even the littlest wedding guests were dressed to the tee and sharing beautiful smiles with everyone (especially the photographers at Old Balgowan).

And on leaving the church after the ceremony, the bridal couple were showered with rose petals by the happy onlookers...

before stopping on the step outside the main reception venue entrance to pose for photo's with family and friends.

Thanks to Judi and her team at Old Balgowan I'm sure Kellie and Stephan had the wedding of their dreams.
