Dunkeld House Hotel
Jillian where do I even begin….
My wedding bouquet was everything and more than I wanted, the final details and touches were out of this world. You made the most amazing cascade bouquet for me; the colours and the flowers were amazing and everyone commented on them.
Throughout my wedding morning, before the ceremony, you went above and beyond for me and my bridal party as well as ceremony touches.
I can’t thank you enough for my table design decorations, everything was wonderful. Everyone has commented on it. The buttonholes for the groom’s party were perfect, a massive thank you for being part of my special day.
I have since delivered the centrepieces and flowers to Cornhill, who looked after my dad, Tich and even they commented on how amazing they were.
So, thank you to you and your staff. I’m eternally grateful.

Hi, Jillian. We just wanted to send you a message to say the biggest thank you ever for doing our wedding flowers.
You were a dream to work with from start to finish and truly made our vision for the wedding come to life. From the bouquets, to the buttonholes, the tables, the back drop to our top table and everything in between - it was absolutely perfect!
You are not only such a lovely person but you are incredibly talented. We cannot say thank you enough.
I will send a link with pictures of your masterpieces on the big day!
All the best Cara & Jack
Dawn and Jack Mace,
We cannot recommend Jillian and her team enough for your wedding day! We had planned to have our ceremony outdoors but the weather was against us in the morning. Jillian and her husband completely kitted our venue out totally last minute and made it absolutely beautiful! She even fixed my dress and shawl before I headed inside and did a great job of de stressing me ?? an added bonus! Myself and my bridesmaids bouquets were absolutely beautiful too, I’ve included pictures below. She was so helpful through the entire planning process and we cannot fault her at all. Thank you so much something special!
Gillian & Ryan,
We had Something Special Flowers provide bouquets and decor for our wedding at Cardney Steading last month and boy did they deliver.
Jillian was amazing during our calls and just got me and the whole look, feel and colours we were visualising.
The venue styling was stunning with guests commenting that it looked like their perfect Pinterest wedding. Jillian was also very honest when some of my ideas wouldn't really work and suggested ways to reuse items for the reception room instead of buying double which, to me, shows the signs of an excellent supplier.
They also overcame an extra challenge on the day with no power at venue due to a severe storm and were one of our superb team of suppliers who all worked together to make sure we could have our special day. Highly recommend the team. Thank you for everything. x
Clare & Scott
Hi Jillian,
I hope you are well and have had a good summer since we last spoke before my wedding in early June. I just wanted to say a huge thank-you once again for all of your hard work on the flowers. I was especially appreciative of the time you gave to capture what I had in mind - you absolutely nailed it! I thought the room, the bouquets and buttonholes were fabulous - having the option to have you transport them to the venue then to the restaurant was also ideal. The registrar said that she'd never known anyone to have flowers for that room before but was so impressed by how good it looked in comparison to normal. I can't really thank-you enough. Your work is excellent but I was just so impressed with how detailed you were with your knowledge but also your warm and kind approach. I also love that you did the flowers for both me and my sister - just 10 years apart! We've had lots of compliments on the flowers from the photos of the day - I've attached the ones our photographer took in case you'd like to use on your website.
Huge thanks again!
Clare

Just amazing.
Thank you so much!!!
Yasmin and Chris, Murthly Casle,
Hi Gillian,
WOW, what else can I say about the flowers at Yasmin’s wedding on Saturday!
They were absolutely stunning, I am beyond delighted with all the floral arrangements, marquee decoration and especially the flower arch, it was incredible and so greatly admired. You have been a total joy to work with, from our first meeting to the big day you have interpreted Yasmin’s wedding vision in the most beautiful way. We totally trusted that you would do a fantastic job but you went beyond our expectations and for that I am truly thankful. The bridal party bouquets were just stunning and the glass bouquet holders on the top table were such a special touch. Our family and close friends were delighted to receive some of the table arrangements and are enjoying a little taste of the wedding in their homes this week, the scent from some of the roses is just amazing, my house smells divine! Thomas delivered some to the local care home and also managed to use some of the large ones in the Chapel for a recital on Sunday so we feel we have managed to extend the enjoyment of the flowers for a little while longer.
Thank you for making Yasmin’s day so very special, our guests had a very memorable weekend in every way.
With very best wishes

Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special.

Gillian and John, Creiff Hydro,
Jillian and her team did my wedding flowers, decorations and button holes for our wedding at Crieff Hydro a few weeks ago. What an absolutely amazing job you did, we can’t thank you enough for everything. I had met Jillian at a couple of wedding fayres and immediately loved what she did. Her friendliness and enthusiasm shines through and she is a pleasure to work with. I had quite a few of my own ideas/items that I wanted incorporated into the decor which was very much embraced by Jillian. Everybody commented on how fab the decor was and it was truly amazing to see months and months of ideas come together just perfectly. I loved my bouquet so much that I didn’t want to put it down at all during the day!!!!!Thank you so very much, highly recommended xx
Stacey and David, The Sun Dancer, Nairn,
I cannot recommend Jillian and her wee team enough. 5 stars doesn’t seem enough! They did all my wedding decor, bouquet,button holes etc. From first meeting to discuss flowers I knew Jillian was really special, the attention to detail and knowledge she shared was outstanding. On the day I was beyond happy with how it all looked. Every little detail had been thought of and the place was stunning. Everyone commented how beautiful it was and my venue manager even said he had never seen so much detail and such a perfectionist! If you are in need of a florist look no where else. Something special flowers is the best there is xxx
Clare and David. Fingask Castle,
Dear the Something Special Team,
It’s all been a bit hectic since the wedding but I’ve found a moment to stop and thank you for all of your amazing hard work with our wedding. I was beyond impressed with the flower arrangements you created. When the bouquets were brought up, they were better than I ever could have imagined. The bouquets were absolutely gorgeous; the hoops and centre pieces in the venue were perfect and I felt that somehow, you managed to reflect our personalities in the atmosphere they created. Our guests were full of praise for them and I’ve lost count of the number of people who have asked who did our flowers. On top of all that, you’ve all been super friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. I really can’t thank you enough. I’ve attached a few of our professional photos from our previews; please feel free to share these on your social media accounts.
You might need them as a reference, as David has promised to get me flowers just as lovely every year for our anniversary.
Many thanks,
Clare and David Reilly

Good Afternoon Jillian and team,
I am just getting in touch to say thank you SO SO much from the bottom of our hearts for all you did for us on our wedding day!
I honestly couldn't believe the venue when i saw it!!! Those absolutely stunning centre pieces were exactly what i had in mind, and the orchids just finished them off beautifully! The top table was just out of this World too, so much hard work and patience must have went into the whole day and Mark and I cannot thank you all enough for what you created for us! The bridal party bouquets were stunning too, as were all the button holes! I have never seen so much attention to detail, from the table where we signed the register, to the wee cake table, to the rose petal scattering and the decorated stair case as you walked into the conservatory... you really did bring a tear to my eye!!! The flowers really were the most important thing to me on the day, and you just blew me away with what you created for us. I can't thank you all enough for all your efforts!!! Also- the separate flowers you provided for our hair.... I used two orchids and the bridesmaids used the roses and it just brought it all together!We received compliments ALL day about the floral arrangements and the decor, and how beautiful it made our venue, so we praised Something Special all day!! Each of the centre pieces found a loving home at the end of the night, and the 3 bouquets were placed on some precious gravestones. Anyways, the next time Mark and I are passing, we will be sure to drop past the shop to thank you all in person. Thank you SO SO much again Jillian, you and your team are absolutely outstanding and you have a fantastic business, and I wish you further success in the future!
Warm Regards
Stephanie and Mark Farmer

Your warm and open-hearted being made us feel welcome and that’s what showed me once more the reason why I love this country and it’s people so much!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Jillian me and my mum took flowers that my husband had sent me over years and other flowers I liked and put together the most truly amazing flower displays for our wedding! The attention to detail was incredible!
Nothing was too much for the team. All my guests said our wedding flowers where the nicest that they had ever seen. The whole team are so nice, they work so hard and put you at ease! Thank you for making my dreams a reality and for making the wedding bouquet of all wedding bouquet’s!
Amanda, Forbes of Kingennie,
Hi Jillian and team
I apologise that it has taken me so long to send you this but I just wanted to thank so much for all so much for my beautiful wedding flowers on 15th July. Right from the start you made me feel comfortable and helped bring to life my vision, as well as giving me some great suggestions and ideas. I really enjoyed all my visits to your lovely shop. I wanted to say a special thank you for attaching the little picture of my mum to my bouquet it made things a little easier for me. We received so many lovely complements about the flowers and the table centrepieces. I have attached a few pictures so you can see all your hard work in action.
Thank you again,

Dear Jillian,
Thank you so much for the stunning flowers that you did for my wedding on the 9th of April. They were so beautiful and I wish I could keep them forever. It was a wonderful day and little details like the flowers really made it for me. I don’t have any of the professional photos yet but thought you might like these.
Many thanks,

Hi Jillian
Just wanted to say a massive thank you once again for my amazing wedding flowers. From the initial consultation to the flowers on the day, your work was fantastic. We had so many compliments especially for our centre pieces; was great seeing my vision becoming a reality.
In addition to the flowers, the fascinator you made for my mum was beautiful. Will definitely recommend your team to anyone requiring floral arrangements in the future.
Love Kelly

Dear Jillian and all the team,
Just to say a huge THANK YOU for my beautiful bouquet on Saturday – it was absolutely perfect, and you could not have been more friendly or helpful when we called so close to time (having been let down suddenly) – cannot say enough how grateful I am and how much I loved it!!
Diana and James, Ballathie,
Dear Morna, Jillian and the Team
We would like to thank you all so much for the magnificent arrangements of flowers that you dressed the Cathedral and Ballathie with last week at Diana and James wedding. The flowers were stunning and we really appreciate the amount of hard work it must have been for you all. We have had so many compliments about how wonderful they were. Your huge effort contributed to making their wedding an extremely special day.
Diana and James are away on their honeymoon just now but I am sure they will be in touch when they get back. I am sure you must all be exhausted after such a busy weekend. Many many thanks again, I will certainly be recommending you again.
Kindest Regard

Hi Jillian, thank you again.
It did look absolutely beautiful, I will send you some photos when I have a little more time. Still dashing about, only just managed to read all of our cards this afternoon! We managed to have it outside! They asked me to make the call around 12.30 and I was mid hair and makeup, so with encouragement from my bridesmaids, photographer and videographer I said outside!
It apparently drizzled a bit as our guests were taking their seats, so there are a few photos of them sitting with umbrellas. But when my Dad and I walked out the rain stopped! So we were very blessed. It poured straight after so we had to get some soggy group and family pictures! And they did you justice with setting everything up on the lawn, it looked beautiful.
Valerie and Stuart
Dear Jillian,
Apologies for the very late message, we’ve been very busy since our wedding day!
We would like to warmly thank you for the absolutely beautiful wedding flowers that you have prepared for us. I was particularly extremely delighted with my bouquet, which received numerous compliments from guests but also other persons who have seen our pictures! Here attached are a few pictures from the wedding photographer. We wouldn’t have wanted any other flowers and we are definitely keen to use your services again if we happen to organise another celebratory event in Scotland and would also recommend you to anyone looking for a florist in the region. We wish you all the very very best.
With warm regards, Valérie and Stuart McCallum
