“We wanted to add some bliss back into the wedding planning process by making it easy and pretty. We have created a website that’s visually beautiful, simple to navigate and showcases local wedding businesses. At a glance, couples can compare vendors across all wedding categories or they can check out our blog for more detailed exposés and wedding trends.” said Amanda Peake, Myrtle’s maker. Amanda established Seeking Myrtle in 2016.
With marketing, communication and education expertise, Myrtle was drawn from a love of Canberra, empowering local businesses and giving talented wedding industry creatives a directory worthy of them. And why the name Seeking Myrtle?
Amanda says, “We’re glad you asked! Ancient Romans and modern royals have all used a sprig of myrtle in their wedding bouquets. The Greek Goddess of love, Aphrodite, loved it too. And now it represents a place where couples can find all of the most delightful local wedding vendors in one, beautiful online spot.” I guess we will all now be on the lookout for Myrtle in Megan Markle’s wedding bouquet for her upcoming nuptials!
