Ochre Botanical Studios

We are based both in Edinburgh and the Highlands, but we travel to any destination in Scotland!

For us, sustainability isn’t an trend or a buzz word, it’s fundamental to the way we work. We never use floral foam in our designs, and we don’t simply take inspiration from the seasons; we genuinely work with them. We use flowers that have been grown locally and naturally, without pesticides, embracing what is available at that particular time of year rather than importing flowers to meet a particular brief. We grow many of our own flowers, alongside working with a small network of local growers who share our approach. We believe that beautiful wedding flowers shouldn’t cost the earth and that celebrating one of life’s biggest moments shouldn’t have to come at the expense of the natural world.

Our approach is a little different, rather than working from a fixed list of flowers, we work with the seasons and let what’s naturally available guide the designs. We love working with our couples on a colour palette, mood and overall feeling, and then bringing that to life with the very best flowers the season has to offer. If there’s a particular flower you have your heart set on, we will always do our best to source it, but because we work with locally grown flowers, we can’t always guarantee that a specific variety will be available. We think this is part of the magic: allowing a little room for the unexpected and trusting us to create something beautiful from what is growing at that time of year.
