\"Isle<\/p>\n

I am in wedding heaven with this Isle of Harris wedding, inspired by wildflowers, it’s just SO gorgeous<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

WWW followers Martha and Dave were hitched in the Spring on the beach against turquoise seas and clear skies, followed by a stunning reception at An Traigh. The setting was absolutely beautiful and to be honest, I’ve already started scoping campsites! Just wait and see.<\/p>\n

Not only was the Scottish<\/a> scenery remarkable, but there were so<\/em> many lovely touches. I love that Martha and Dave were keen to keep their day eco-friendly<\/a> and homemade. Then there was that floral dress of dreams and the dapper suits with floral accessories. Seriously dreamy.<\/p>\n

A massive thanks go to Pink Elephant Photography<\/a> for sharing with us these spectacular shots.<\/p>\n

Isle of Harris Wedding<\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Dave proposed at the top of An Cliseam, the tallest mountain on the Isle of Harris, in May 2019.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

The original vision was a bright colourful wildflower inspired wedding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We wanted it to be as eco-friendly and homemade<\/strong> as possible, and family and friends were very involved in creating our day! The plan changed with covid, and our midsummer wedding became a spring one, but we still tried to incorporate flowers and nature as much as we could.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

Scarista beach, Isle of Harris for the ceremony, followed by a reception at An Traigh Caf\u00e9 in Talla Na Mara community centre.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

The dress was the Heartleaf gown by Willowby by Watters<\/strong>, from The White Collection in Portishead. It was genuinely the very first dress I saw, and after two days of trying on dresses, nothing could top it. I loved the fact it had colour in it and it is so unique.<\/p>\n

The groom’s suit is from Moss Bros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

The ceremony was on Scarista beach, it was cold and windy but utterly perfect.<\/p>\n

The bride walked down the aisle to a jazz version of Sexual Healing<\/strong> by the Hot 8 brass band, and we walked back down as a couple to Eric Clapton, \u2018It\u2019s in the way that you use it<\/strong>\u2019.<\/p>\n

Your Photographer & Filmmaker<\/h3>\n

Philippa from Pink Elephant Photography was absolutely brilliant<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

The Styling & Decor<\/h3>\n

All our signs and stationery<\/strong> were done by the very talented Gina from Wildwood Designs, who also happened to be my bridesmaid.<\/p>\n

The cake (lemon drizzle\/gin and tonic flavour<\/strong>) was made by my mum.<\/p>\n

Flowers were all dried<\/strong>, grown at home by family. The actual bouquets and buttonholes were provided by You Keep Me Wild.<\/p>\n

All the venue styling<\/strong> was done the day before. Peigi from An Traigh had set up our tables, and the smaller details were done by us, our mothers and bridesmaids.<\/p>\n
