🤍WE GOT MARRIED🤍!!! It was our turn on Wednesday to tie the knot and what a day it was. We had the best suppliers going above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, and it truly was. Surrounded by our friends and family, in our favourite venue we said I Do and have been in a little bubble since. We have had lots of customers messaging us so we thought we would share a little snippet of our day.

Massive shout out to Paul Govers Photography for capturing our day, and for sending us previews so quickly. He really made the day so special and we can’t recommend him enough!

🎄IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ🎄

We would firstly like to wish our followers, couples and customers a very Merry Christmas and say THANK YOU for all your support since we opened in 2020. Opening during Covid was never going to be easy but with our passion, dedication & determination, we gave our all and we survived the pandemic!

It has however been a terribly difficult 6 months for us due to the cost of living crisis on the retail side of the business. We are facing huge price rises from the flower growers, which on top of everything else on the rise, it’s been a real struggle to keep things going this long, and sadly we have no fight left. It is with two very heavy hearts to announce we will no longer be operating the retail side of our business from our premises at Fordel. We are both absolutely devastated to say the least, we have built something so special over the past (almost) 3 years and have put smiles on so many faces, and we will treasure these memories forever.

On a happier note, we will be continuing to create for our amazing couples wedding bookings for 2023/2024 as normal. We will be keeping our social media running to show you all what we are getting up to - so please keep following our Facebook and Instagram pages!

Folks, please support local, small businesses need you more than ever right now! Once again thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us throughout our journey - we appreciate you all!

what a night! We may not have won but we are already feel like winners for getting to the finals, and that was down to our wedding couples who nominated us. Thank you again to each and every one of you! We are beyond proud of how far we have come in our first 2 and a half years, and we are so grateful for all the support we have received.

Messages will be responded to tomorrow, we are a tad fragile today!

We both LOVE dressing ceremony arches, it creates the perfect backdrop 😍 Can’t wait to see the professional photos from the talented Natalie Holt Photography but ours will do for now 😂 we added fresh flowers and foliages along with a drape for the wedding of Caitlin + Martyn at Pratis Barns last month.

08/11/2022

We’re still here 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ It’s been a crazy busy few weeks for us behind the scenes with Weddings, Christmas preparations, creating & delivering gift bouquets, commercial installs, getting hand surgery and keeping on top of admin. Sometimes it’s difficult when there’s only two of us but we love the personal touch our business gives. Our social media has taken the brunt of our busy workload recently but we are back tonight with the most beautiful bespoke Autumn arrangement we created for Katie last month. We just love this time of year 🍂

Thank you Katie Kerr for trusting us with this and for sending us the photos!

📣 Festive wreath preorder is OPEN!! 📣

We can’t quite believe this is our 3rd year making wreaths and for that reason we are offering 3 designs this year! Our first two years sold out pretty quickly and we had to turn away a lot of customers so please don’t leave it too late, there’s only so many the two of us can make.

For delivery please order on our website (www.ivyandthistle.com). If you would prefer to collect, please call/email/message to order ☺️

Happy wreath shopping!

Delivering bouquets to the bride(s) & buttonholes to the groom(s) will always be our favourite part of each couples wedding day. We carry out their consultations together, order the flowers together, design together, create together & hand deliver together. Why? Because we think it’s important to give our couples the best service we can 🤍

02/10/2022

Using a mix of fresh & dried flowers for Danielle & Josh’s wedding breakfast really finished off this beautiful space.

📸 Thank you to Duncan Ireland Photography for capturing these and to Kinmount House for making us feel so welcome for our first time there. Also to The Taylor’s for choosing us to create for them 🤍

Gemma’s bouquet 🤍 We were asked to create something feminine & full of texture whilst keeping the main focus on lots of scented eucalyptus and other greens, adding hints of whites to tie in with their Celtic tartan kilts for the boys. We can’t wait to see more from Gemma & Scott’s wedding at Glencorse House back in August.

20/09/2022

We are so lucky to get to know so many amazing suppliers, work in such beautiful venues & create for the best couples, we are grateful for you all!

Mrs & Mrs Steedman 🤍

We were back at The Den at Culross - Weddings in July, a very special place for us. We had our very first photo shoot here at the beginning of our journey and fell in love. It was good to be back, especially for Morgan & Laura’s wedding day. What an amazing couple to plan with and create for. Luckily we can keep in touch over Instagram Mmorgan Steedman Laura Steedman🤍

Tasha & James travelled up to Scotland for their Wedding at Thirlestane Castle in July. It was an absolute pleasure bringing their floral visions to life, from dressing Best Intent Marquees marquee roof with foliage, adding florals to the steps outside and making the bridal party’s bouquets and buttonholes. Seeing the work of Forget Me Knot Images proves how happy (& good fun) the couple are and how perfect their day was. Swipe along to see the marquee roof and so much more 🌿😍

What a pleasure to be part of The Taylor Wedding. Amazing work by TLC Media & Eren Karaman 🤍

🎉🎉 It’s not often we are lost for words, but after today’s news we are well and truly speechless! We have been shortlisted for the finals of Your Scottish Wedding Awards. We can’t thank our past wedding couples enough for nominating us, we are so grateful for every single one of you and we are so happy that we made such an impact on your wedding day.

To think we only opened our business two years ago, we have achieved more than we could have dreamt of in that time and this is massive for both of us. We are beyond proud 🥹

Good luck to every other business who has been shortlisted…see you all in November for the awards ceremony 💃🏼💃🏼🥂
