Gramercy Mansion Wedding with Scottish Theme

WEDDING

Kristin & John had dreamed up the perfect vision for their Gramercy Mansion Wedding.  They added touches of their Scottish ancestry to the details, creating the perfect balance for this Scottish themed wedding.

The bride got ready in the Cassatt Suite, which is full of gorgeous antiques and makes for the perfect bridal backdrop.

Although the couple had originally envisioned themselves having an outdoor ceremony, and for those of you who have visited the gardens at Gramercy Mansion can definitely understand why, they ended up using the rain back up plan as there was extensive rain on their wedding day.

Adding to the Scottish theme were the thistles (the official flower of Scotland) added to the bridal bouquet.

The rainy day wedding required Kristin & John to move their first look at Gramercy Mansion indoors.  The mansion was built in the 1840s by Alexander J. Cassatt, who is the brother to the famous painter Mary Cassatt.

Gramercy is full of incredible architectural details and makes the perfect backdrop for any wedding.

Although the gardens at Gramercy Mansion are beautiful, this indoor space makes for a convenient rain plan, should it rain on a wedding day.

I’m absolutely in love with the purple & yellow with tiny touches of tartan ribbon.  Kristin DIYed the table numbers by adding twisted pieces of tartan from both her family’s and her husband’s family’s Scottish clan.

Even the wedding cake played into the Scottish theme of this wedding with the addition of thistles & stripes of the tartan ribbons.
