Leonnie & Andy — Mansfield Traquair, Edinburgh
Leonnie and Andy had their Edinburgh destination wedding in March 2017.
An Edinburgh destination wedding
Set in the heart of Edinburgh's Dean Village is Well Court. Built in 1880 by Sir John Findlay, owner of The Scotsman newspaper, he wasn't fond of the view of broken-down tenement buildings that his own grand home overlooked, so he demolished them and built new homes for "a better class of working man". Well Court Hall still has the main hall, which was once used for reading and recreation.
The day
This is where we joined Leonnie to get ready for her special day. She had a beautiful dress and, with her blonde hair swept up in elegant waves, she glowed with happiness. Leonnie wanted to thank Jennifer Thomson, who made her and the bridesmaids' hair look amazing on the day.
Andy got ready at the Principal Edinburgh George Hotel. He had his groomsmen with him to help. We got some very cool shots of the guys in the style of the Bohemian Rhapsody video by Queen.
The Mansfield Traquair
Such a fun and wonderful couple — and an amazing venue. The Mansfield Traquair was once a Catholic church, perfect for an Edinburgh destination wedding. It is located on the edge of Edinburgh's historic New Town. Designed by nineteenth-century architect Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, it was completed in 1885. The most outstanding feature is the vast mural painted by Scotland's leading Arts and Crafts artist, Phoebe Anna Traquair, in the 1890s.
The building does not fail to impress. High gothic arches, murals, candles and thousands of fairy lights hanging like glittering gems.
Thanks
It was a simply stunning day. Aimie and I had the most amazing time in Edinburgh, and we wish Leonnie and Andy every happiness for their future together. Words are not enough to describe it, so we will let our pictures do the talking.
All our love from the team at Beziique.
Nick, Aimie and CJ xx
