The Story:

Tradition and heritage were the forefront of this Scottish winelands celebration. The men ensured they were dressed to the tee in their time-honored family kilts and a traditional Scottish bag-piper accompanied Erin as she walked down the aisle. After a charming ceremony, the guests moved onto the rolling lawns in front of the manor house, where they were entertained by an African marimba band and enjoy some delicious canapés. The whole group then moved into the Bedouin tent which was illuminated by crystal chandeliers for the dazzling reception. The stationery had a unique colour theme of maroon that had been carried through various elements on the day. It made for gorgeous addition to the table settings where personalised menus and table names welcomed guests as they took their seats. A deliciously decadent five-course meal, fit for any clan gathering, was served and followed by very moving and heartfelt speeches. The couple then moved onto the cutting of the magnificent three tiered vanilla cake made by Kanya Hunt. Shen Winberg and his trio kept the dance floor packed till the early hours of the morning and once all the guests had substantially worked up their appetites, mini hamburgers were served much to the Scottish men’s approval!
