We know the city elopement imagery well. The couple gets ready in a hipster design hotel in downtown New York, LA, London, or Paris…there are some intimate moments in front of city hall, a stylish walk to their favorite coffee shop, bakery, or pizza place…some laughter, some kisses, a few amused onlookers, great sunglasses, and inevitably, two sidewalk-served pretty coupes of champagne.
But now its time for something a little different. Moody and dramatic landscapes, verdant autumnal florals, all the warm and woody shades of terracotta, and just enough wind to blow you back into the pages of Wuthering Heights. There is something decidedly romantic and cinematic about this elopement in the Scottish Highlands, (in what was once the holiday home of Constance Spry), and yet all the details are strikingly modern, minimal, and right on trend.
A little sip of scotch in Ferm Living’s ripple glasses, Kamperett’s iconic wrap around Adelaide gown, Laure de Sagazan’s romantic angora gilet, Moss Floral’s effortlessly composed Ikebana-inspired bouquet, and our most minimal stationery collection, The Curator, offering all the white space, blind embossing, vellum layers, and soft nude tones to complement and balance out the richly verdant landscape and moody color palette. All this captured by one of our favorite wedding photographers, Taylor and Porter, on 35mm film.
Scroll down, fall in love, and discover this dramatic yet simple way to say I Do.
So grateful to this exceptionally talented and international team of vendors and creatives for coming together to create this unique marriage of the modern and the romantic, the lush and the minimal, the dramatic and the serene. Goes to show that if you get creative and shop around, you can take a little piece of New York, LA, London, and Paris, and set it all down amidst the hills and lakes of Scotland, and make it really, really, work.
