Creating the florals and styling for my own wedding was an opportunity to bring together everything I value in design, simplicity, seasonality and a considered sense of detail. Set within the striking interiors of Netherbyres House, the day reflected my personal approach to floral design: refined, intentional, and quietly expressive.
For my bridal bouquet, I chose a soft, tonal composition of white garden roses, ranunculus, sweet peas, stock and delicate lisianthus along with lilac, orchids, tulips and delphinium. The focus was on texture and quiet movement, a hand-tied design that felt graceful, timeless and light in the hand. Finished with flowing ribbon and a personal embroidered detail, it was a piece that carried both memory and meaning.
My bridesmaid carried a variation in a similar palette, subtle shifts in scale and texture allowed each bouquet to complement the overall floral story, while still feeling individual and considered.
The ceremony was set within one of Netherbyres’ elegant, light-filled rooms, a space that lent itself perfectly to sculptural floral work and softened architectural detail. I designed layered pedestal arrangements and urns in a palette of soft whites and creamy neutrals, paired with fresh seasonal foliage. The florals were styled to feel abundant yet balanced, composed and not overly formal.
To complete the look, we incorporated clusters of glass candlelight, gold accents and a large gilt mirror reflecting the blooms, adding warmth, light and an almost painterly stillness to the setting.
Throughout the venue, each element was curated to echo the tone of the day: refined, relaxed and quietly expressive. Netherbyres, with its distinctive charm and character, provided the perfect backdrop, rich in detail, yet wonderfully welcoming.
