Florist : Cutting Garden

Chelsea & Jac | An Elopement | Autumn

I can’t tell you how MUCH I love elopements.  And when they look like this one, it is easy to see why.

We got an emergency request for flowers late one Friday afternoon in October from Chelsea, who had travelled from the States to elope with her beau the following day.  We gathered what was best from our cutting gardens, and Mr Myrtle & Bracken hopped through to Balfron the following morning to save the day.

Chelsea and Jac wandered deep into the woods of Loch Lomond National Park to exchange their vows in an emotional and atmospheric ceremony, all beautifully captured by Melissa Marshall.  Follow Melissa’s stunning work on Instagram and be sure to check out her signature hashtag #forthewildyinlove

Oh, and more veils please.

A Secret Wedding at Ardanaisieg

Laura and James eloped to the beautiful Ardanaiseig at the start of the Autumn last year and I have to say, we were swept away with the romance!

Laura wore a stunning Dragonfly Dress Design and opted for a little flower hat and a lush Autumnal bouquet in gooey toffee pinks.  We recommended that Laura treat herself to a little pampering on the day itself and Jennifer Peffer from Asteria Bridal was on hand to highlight Lauras natural beauty, and finished off her 1950’s look just perfectly.

We also made a seasonal foliage and berry collar for Laura and James’s pooch!

Huge thanks go to John Stirling Photography for these lovely images.  You can see John’s full blog post on this elopement here.

MORE FLOWER HATS PLEASE.

AND MORE ELOPEMENTS.

An Elopement

New Year greetings to you all flower lovers!

For many of you this year is the year that you get married, and we are beyond exited here at Myrtle & Bracken HQ for all the exiting, creative weddings that have landed on our desk.  It is also the year that we are introducing our cutting garden, bringing you some of our very own British Flowers.

But before we get digging and sowing, we thought we would share this gorgeous little elopement that happened towards the end of 2014.

If ever there was an elopement that captured the essence of romance and true love, here it is.  Jess and Jacob eloped to the beautiful Scott’s View in the Scottish Borders, overlooking the valley of the River Tweed, which is reputed to be one of the favourite views of Sir Walter Scott with nothing more than a bouquet, a buttonhole and a delicate floral crown.

Our favourite lady Caro Weiss was on hand to capture the love and we are thrilled to have been invited to play a part in this intimate wedding.

What a beautiful couple.
