Claire & Marc’s Modern Summer Wedding at the House of Elrick

When Claire and Marc planned their wedding at the House of Elrick, Aberdeenshire, they dreamed of flowers that would bring a soft yet modern touch to the characterful venue. The result was a floral story filled with fresh summer colour, natural textures, and thoughtful design that carried seamlessly throughout their day.

A bouquet to set the tone

Claire’s bouquet was the heart of the look, a romantic mix of peachy roses, apricot dahlias, airy cosmos and touches of powder blue delphinium. The palette was light, joyful, and contemporary, perfectly complementing her embroidered gown while creating a timeless bridal look.

A versatile floral arch

From the very beginning, Claire and Marc chose to focus their initial budget on key elements such as bridal flowers and a statement floral arch. The arch, brimming with soft summer blooms, framed their ceremony beautifully. Its versatility made it a true investment piece, later being moved to sit behind the top table and then repositioned once more as a striking evening photo backdrop.

Growing their floral story

As their wedding vision evolved, so did their flowers. What started with a few key designs blossomed into a fuller styling scheme. Bud vases dotted along the aisle and tables added light, colour, and movement, while meadow-style arrangements brought a natural, garden-like feel to the rustic interior. Each piece felt modern, airy, and elegant, enhancing the venue’s charm without overwhelming it.

A celebration of rustic and modern

The balance of the House of Elrick’s setting with Claire and Marc’s fresh, contemporary florals created a truly memorable day. Their story is a wonderful example of how investing in a few thoughtful floral elements can create impact and versatility, while allowing room for ideas to grow as your style takes shape.
