Truly traditional

Posted by Olivia Gibson on 2 August 2023

Charlotte and Andrew first met while working in Austria during the ski season.

They fell in love with the mountains and, of course, with each other while creating the most amazing memories.

Loving touch Andrew proposed at the pair's favourite waterfall in Scotland called The Hermitage. He was taking photos using a tripod and managed to capture the moment he popped the question. The lovebirds set the wedding for July 2022 and created a fun day surrounded by loved ones.

Here Charlotte shares details about their special day...

We picked All Saints Church in Poole for our ceremony as it's where I used to attend growing up.

The day was perfect, and we wouldn't have changed anything.

Our reception occurred at my aunt and uncle's house, which holds many happy childhood memories.

The marquee had a jasmin arch, a heart-shaped privet and olive trees by Whitestem.

A gold Baroque-style easel designed by Winterborne Hire & Styling made up our table plan. The company also created the vintage copper-crafted Mr & Mrs Spence sign above the centre table.

Edwards Flowers created the beautiful bouquets using roses, avalanches, eucalyptus and thistles as a homage to Andrews's Scottish heritage.

Mon Bel Amour Cake Craft beautifully decorated the cake baked by the groom.

We had personalised wooden napkin rings for our place names with 'Lotty & Andrew 23/07/2022' on the back.

Bride My Sophia Tolli dress combined classic and modern styles with off-the-shoulder sleeves and pockets! A full-length veil with an embroidered floral trim and jewels finished my look.

Jess Robinson at Model Makeovers by Jess created beautiful looks for my bridal party and me. I felt memorised when I finished getting ready!

Andrew wore an ivory silk cravat, navy knee-high socks, a sporran, a handmade sgian dubh and black brogues.

The groom wore a Gunn tartan kilt, a navy-blue tweed jacket, a matching waistcoat and a white double-cuffed shirt.

The bridesmaids wore multiway dresses with nude open toes heels.

Band We had a live band for the evening entertainment, which was a real hit with our guests with music for all generations – Andrew even got to do a solo on his electric guitar!

An aerobatic air display took place during the drink's reception, and pilot Patrick drew a beautiful heart in the sky!

My uncle shared an iconic speech during the reception, which was particularly special as he also gave me away.

Majorca We went to Mallorca for two weeks for our honeymoon and enjoyed drinking cocktails in our favourite bar at the bottom of the beautiful Calvari Steps in Pollensa.
