A luxury wedding at one of Scotland’s most iconic castles, with an outdoor ceremony



Set just outside Edinburgh, this Iranian wedding at Dundas Castle unfolded on a warm summer day in 2025. With an outdoor ceremony set against the grandeur of the castle, the day blended rich Iranian traditions with a refined, modern aesthetic. Thoughtfully designed florals framed each moment, while emotional speeches and a lively evening of dancing carried the celebration long into the night. Dundas Castle provided a striking backdrop throughout: elegant, atmospheric, and perfectly suited to a luxury wedding of this kind.
