We got married!
On the 3rd of September I married Stefan Bienkowski, at home, on the Isle of Skye surrounded by our nearest and dearest.
Some of you may have seen my wedding spam on my Instagram and Facebook but I thought I’d do a run through of some of the suppliers from the day, who made it so special!
All the images you are about to see were from our amazing photographer Rosie Woodhouse. Rosie has shot some of my jewellery collections in the past so it was so lovely to have a familiar face apart of our day. Looking at the photos I was never aware of her shooting during the ceremony and I love the moments she has captured. Couldn’t recommend Rosie enough for a welcoming, warm person to have on your special day.

Hairpin
I found this hairpin in an antique shop in Doune, just down the road from our new house.
Sarah Straussberg Earrings
These were gifted to me by Stefan. Sarah is a close friend and was at the wedding so I was delighted to wear some of her jewellery. Perfectly made and an absolute joy to wear!

Flowers
The flowers need their own special shoutout - these were all grown either on Skye or the East coast of Scotland (Skye hasn’t had the warmest of summers). Sustainable, eco friendly and just absolutely beautiful. Nicola at Meadowsweet was amazing. We had the bouquets and button holes made and then had buckets of flowers which my mum arranged for the tables.

Creatures of Habit Cakery
Laura is another local supplier. We chose a lemon and blueberry cake which was decorated with Nicola’s flowers. IT was honestly one of the best cakes I’ve ever had and so glad we waited until the next day to eat it!

Theme Design - Peter McDermott
My dad came up with the theme for the wedding and this was echoed through the table names, place cards and invitations. Its handy having a graphic designer dad!
The Dress - Jane McDermott
The dress was made by my mum. We went on numerous trips to try on dresses and I couldn’t find something I liked. I absolutely loved wearing thi dress, I danced all night in it and felt incredible.
