Florals & decor

bouquets · tablescapes · candlelight

Flowers grown near the venue, cut two days before, arranged low enough to talk across. Decor that looks like the house always lived that way.

How we work

What this actually means

We build every scheme from what is actually in season within a few hundred kilometres of your venue. It is not a moral position — it is simply that a rose cut on Thursday in a nearby field behaves better in August heat than one flown in on Monday.

The palette is decided from the room, not from a colour card: the stone, the wood, the curtains, the tablecloth, the hour the sun leaves. Then we choose three or four flowers and repeat them everywhere, in different sizes, so the day reads as one thought.

Nothing sits above eye level on a dinner table. Candles are lit at four in the afternoon, so the room warms up before anyone notices it getting dark. Installations are built to be dismantled without a trace by nine the next morning.

Afterwards the flowers go somewhere: to guest rooms, to the church, to a hospice near the venue. Nothing that grew for one day gets thrown away that night.

What is included

Four things we take off your hands

01

Scheme & palette

A written floral concept built from the venue's own colours, with three or four repeated varieties.

02

Personal flowers

Bouquet, buttonholes, hair flowers and anything carried — made the morning of, never earlier.

03

Ceremony & tables

Aisle, altar, arches, table runners, candlelight plans and the long dismantling schedule.

04

Objects & paper

Linen, glassware, ceramics, calligraphy and place cards sourced or made to match.

The tables looked like the house had done it itself. That is the highest compliment I have.
