Holly & Jamie’s Autumn Wedding at The Dougarie Boathouse
Holly and Jamie’s Autumn wedding at The Dougarie Boathouse in Scotland was the perfect blend of elegance, intimacy, and seasonal charm. With its stunning coastal location and rustic character, the boathouse provided the ideal backdrop for their day, a celebration of love shared with their closest friends and family.
Both the ceremony and reception took place in the boathouse, creating a seamless and intimate atmosphere. The venue’s rustic wooden beams and a striking chandelier added warmth and charm, while the reception setup—one long table for 18 guests—set the stage for a cosy, family-style gathering. The table was adorned with soft pastel blooms, including delicate blues, peach, and baby pink, paired with warm candlelight and earthy tones that enhanced the beauty of the season.
Holly was the epitome of understated elegance in her cowl neck wedding dress. The simplicity of her gown highlighted her natural beauty, and her long, flowing veil added a touch of timeless romance. Her bouquet perfectly echoed the pastel tones of the décor, featuring soft peach, baby pink, and muted blue flowers, bringing a fresh and unexpected twist to an autumn wedding.
The bridesmaids brought a vibrant and unique twist to the bridal party style. Each wore a different design and colour, creating a stunning palette. One bridesmaid wore the Bridesmaids Jumpsuit in Chianti, a rich burgundy-red shade that added depth to the lineup. The other two bridesmaids wore the Brooklyn slip dress—one in bright hot pink and the other in warm burnt orange. Both dresses looked effortlessly chic and glided beautifully over their baby bumps, proving that maternity style can be both practical and gorgeous.
Jamie and his groomsmen embraced their Scottish heritage in traditional kilts, adding a timeless and personal touch to the celebration. The rich tartan patterns complemented the wedding’s blend of soft pastels and autumnal tones, grounding the day in a sense of tradition and place.
The ceremony, held under the wooden beams of the boathouse, was intimate and heartfelt. The soft sound of waves lapping against the nearby shore added a calming and romantic ambiance as Holly and Jamie exchanged vows. The warm, natural light streaming into the space highlighted the pastel florals, creating a scene straight out of a storybook.
The reception was just as memorable. The long table, set under the wooden beams and chandelier, was decorated with pastel flowers, soft greenery, and taper candles that bathed the room in a warm glow. With only 18 guests, the atmosphere was relaxed, filled with heartfelt conversations and laughter.
As the evening unfolded, toasts were shared, and Holly and Jamie enjoyed their first dance under the chandelier’s soft light, surrounded by their closest loved ones.
Holly and Jamie’s wedding was a perfect example of how intimate gatherings can be every bit as magical as larger celebrations. Thoughtful details, a cozy atmosphere, and the charm of pastel tones against the rustic boathouse backdrop made their day truly unforgettable—a celebration of love, family, and the beauty of the season.
