When Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed the building in 1909, little did he know that his mind’s creation would become a reality in 1996, thanks to a deft team of architects years later. Awash with white ethereal hues and draped in signature Mackintosh touches (think tribes of pretty window panes, tall towering chairs and rose-clad lights suspended from the ceiling), House For An Art Lover is inspiration in bricks and mortar, making it the kind of wedding venue to evoke butterflies upon first sight. From the Music Room to the Mackintosh Suite and the mesmerising grounds of Bellahouston Park, this extraordinary house touches the hearts of art lovers, dreamers, thinkers and lovers alike.
