Explore Wivenhoe House Hotel →One of my favourite parts of designing wedding flowers is finding the balance between the venue and the couple.
Your flowers don’t have to match your venue perfectly — they can contrast with it, soften it or bring out details that you might not have noticed when you first fell in love with the space.
A historic house or estate can look fantastic with minimal floral styling, but also has the scale and grandeur to support more elaborate designs. It really is up to you, your style and budget.
And because every venue is different, I design each wedding individually rather than working from a fixed formula.
If you’ve already chosen your estate wedding venue, I’d love to hear about your plans.
Tell me about your venue, the season you’re getting married in and the kind of atmosphere you’d love to create. We can then start thinking about how your wedding flowers could work within the space — from your bouquet and buttonholes through to ceremony flowers, table arrangements and statement installations.
