Real-life couple Erik and Beatriz brought some zest to this citrus-infused styled shoot at Dundas Castle, organised by Aberdeenshire photographer Sophie Alexandria and wedding content creator Lauren Prichard, aka Social Brides Club.

“Our theme embraced spring and trending citrus tones, bringing a fresh and contemporary feel to the historic venue,” says Lauren.

Lemon-coloured wedding details

Lauren and Sophie enlisted a team of talented creatives to bring their vision to life.

Ange at Fauna Flower Folk played a key role in the styling and floral design, crafting sculptural arrangements in lime green and lemon yellow.

The tablescape was a feast for the senses, with fresh fruit, tulle bows, and lemon-themed place cards sitting alongside the eye-catching blooms.

The bouquet combined anthuriums and poppies with hints of yellow for a unique and modern feel.

Playful citrus details and contemporary floral arrangements balanced the venue’s timeless charm, proving that a heritage location can still feel modern and trend-forward.

A cake by Ruby and Pearl Cake Art embraced the fruity theme, adorned with grapes and lemons for an organic and romantic look.

Unique wedding idea for 'something blue'

And amid all the sunny yellows and cheerful oranges, there was still room for ‘something blue’: a dinky 1991 Nissan Figaro.

“It was the cutest and resulted in memorable images,” smiles Lauren.
