Whether planning a small wedding or a gala nuptual affair, every bride wants her wedding to be the most spectacular wedding ever planned. Brides of summertime rejoice and plan your special day in the setting of regality, a castle! Earl and Countess Dundee of Birkhill Castle in the Kingdom of Fife host relaxed and intimate wedding ceremonies in an illustrious Scottish setting.
Summer Weddings, Storybook Style
Should the bride desire a fairytale princess wedding, the castle setting emulates a time period when princesses ruled. White horses ushering in the bride while a host of people fawn all over her as she joins her groom in the beautiful flower garden is a scene from a storybook.
A buffet of elegant foods such as roast beef, curried pilaf rice and mango pickle shares modern flare while keeping in tradition of the foods popular in the era the castle was built. Plenty of spirits is a timely tradition and as always, request guests be responsible with their consumption.
“Midsummer Nights” at Birkhill
Brides who are less princess and more dark and alluring will be envied when they arrive at the castle. A “Midsummer Night’s Theme” held on a summer day allows the bride to host a more alternative wedding theme. Birkhill Castle gives the medieval-loving bride a period wedding with every modern amenity. Guests can enjoy appetiser trays of dates, raisins, figs and almonds while entrees of swordfish or cornish game hens represent the fish and small fowl popular in the medieval dining room.
Accommodation Fit for a King
Birkhill Castle has many spectacular features for the destination wedding. Usually small in size, the destination wedding brings the entire wedding to a far away place and what more perfect setting than a summer castle for a wedding? With lavish accommodations for as many as 24 guests, the bridal party can relax and enjoy a mini- summer vacation. Birkhill Castle not only has lush grounds, tennis courts, and a private beach but it is also within 40 minutes of over 100 golf courses. Formal or more relaxed destination weddings are easy to host at the castle. Spectacular buffets or light luncheons cater to every appetite and budget.
Pretty as a Picture
Because of its beautiful backdrop, photographers will love the castle wedding experience as they capture the bridal party in lush gardens or on intricate stairways. Guests will appreciate being included in such a grandiose occasion and the happy couple will start their lives in an historic mansion steeped with tradition and history. The long days of summer make the perfect season for a wedding of any style. With some romance and creativity, the happy couple can most assuredly dazzle their guests and give themselves a remarkable summer castle wedding to remember.
