Hello to all our Lovely Lunga 2017 and 2018 Brides and Grooms ...

A very warm welcome and big hello to all our brides and grooms of 2017 & 2018.....
Our bookings are filling up and that makes us excited! We love a good party and making people happy.
I am hugely excited about becoming Lovely Lunga's wedding co-ordinator. I have been working with the fabulous Lunga team since 2012, and they are the best!

I am a wedding florist and stylist, and now wedding co-ordinator for this little castle with a big heart ❤️. I have been working with flowers for as long as I can remember, both growing them and designing with them. My arrangements are stylishly un-arranged; natural and relaxed, taking my inspiration from the wonderful Argyll surroundings.
I was creative director for Crear Flowers at its inception and designed and created many, many weddings there ... and my freelance work has taken me all over Scotland and Southern Ireland. I was the recommended florist for the prestigous Powerscourt near Dublin, and I am so proud to be recommended by beautiful Inveraray Castle. The Duke and Duchess are utterly charming and I was very honoured to be asked recently to design and create florals for the State Dining Room (where an episode of Downton Abbey was filmed). It was such a beautiful and elegant space in which to work.
However, my favourite wedding venue is lovely Lunga. It truly is a magical place; surrounded by the sea and with stunning views and vistas, but still very private; a little castle hideaway tucked into a Scottish hillside. It owns a very special little pier too ... fabulous for photographs and shenanigans and a perfect choice for your wedding! Lunga has beautiful gardens if you wish to be married outside, but if the Scottish weather chases you indoors there are cosy fires and twinkling light. Either way, your wedding will be fabulous and wonderful!

It's a beautiful day...

The sun has arrived and Lunga is looking fabULOUS. Really. The daffodils are everywhere and we have a buttercup lawn which will disappear once mown, but which looks lovely lovely lovely today.

I've been showing people around and eating cake, which is a very enjoyable way to spend a day. And Alison and Stuart, who are getting married here in October, came back for another wander - this time with their lovely daughter Katie and Katie's 3 month old baby daughter, Ruby. Ruby is such a pretty name.

Alison is pretty well organised - She's booked Lorne MacDougall for the ceilidh in the evening and her wedding cake is being made by the fabulous Oban Chocolate House. Have I mentioned before how much I love their cakes. Proper chocolate. That smells like chocolate. And makes you want to drown in its deliciousness. Yum. Yum. And uber yum!

They have asked me to do their photography for them - their style is very relaxed, which makes me very relaxed. Menus aren't finalised yet, but we have got the sense of the kind of food that they most enjoy. Seasonal. Local. Generous.

It was lovely to see them again, and to get to know their families a little.
