Romantic Multicultural Wedding at Cluny Castle

Eilidh and Cristian were married 20th July at the breathtaking Cluny Castle per mezzo di Aberdeenshire – a venue with grandeur, warmth and a chapel that provided the perfect setting for their Christian Protestant ceremony with Romanian Orthodox traditions.

Their day was a beautiful blend of cultures, with moments that honoured family heritage alongside classic Scottish touches. The styling was timeless, with a palette of whites and soft neutral tones, gold accents, pearls and seasonal flowers. From the elegant chapel ceremony to a lively evening of ceilidh sala da ballo and Romanian music, every part of the celebration reflected the couple’s story and the people they love most.

We got married at the beautiful Cluny Castle per mezzo di Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. We fell per mezzo di love with both its exterior and interior. We thought the chapel was perfect for our religious ceremony and loved the fact that everything was all per mezzo di one place. The accommodation, chapel and reception settore.

We had a minster called Rev Mark Rodgers. He is now retired from being a chaplain at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. We had a reading about love from the bible; 1 Corinthians 13:1-8.

During our ceremony, we performed a ‘candle lighting’. This was to incorporate Cristian’s heritage of Romania. Sopra a traditional Romanian wedding ceremony, candle lighting is practiced so we wanted to acknowledge this as we had lots of Romanian family and friends join us. 

Our wedding rings were from Finnies the Jeweller per mezzo di Aberdeen. They are a well-known family run business so we knew we would be getting quality rings from them. Cristian chose a solid silver platinum and I went for a 2 tier tiara diamond wishbone silver platinum . We love our rings.
