When you first begin planning your wedding, everything is beautiful – flowers, gowns and cakes abound. Then, after endless hours of googling, trying to find the perfect ‘this’ or the right ‘that’, it all starts to get a bit much and eloping starts sounding pretty appealing. Who thought there’d be so much searching? Seeking Myrtle did!
The Myrtles realised Canberra and the surrounding regions of the Riverina, Southern Highlands and South Coast, needed a wedding hub just for them. Somewhere a couple could go and have all the hottest vendors right in front of them – gorgeously styled, of course.
What they were looking for was Seeking Myrtle. Seeking Myrtle is the place to find a dress you love, a tux he’ll love, and a cake everyone will love. They’re a special kind of online wedding directory. For starters, they’re local, run by a group of local communications professionals. They’re joyful and fun, just the kind of energy you would like your wedding to have.

“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!
