The Final Creation

Designing and installing a private dinner at Barnbougle Castle in Scotland by Larry Walshe Studios is a fusion of historic grandeur and contemporary floral artistry. Nestled on the rugged Scottish coastline, the castle’s dramatic setting provides the perfect backdrop for an intimate yet opulent dining experience. The floral design embraces the castle’s rich heritage while introducing modern elegance, incorporating a color palette inspired by the surrounding landscape—deep emerald greens, rich burgundy, and soft antique gold.

Lush floral arrangements of velvety roses, peonies, and amaranthus are intertwined with Scottish thistles, heather, and trailing ivy, creating a sense of depth and romance.

Antique candelabras and soft, flickering candlelight cast a warm glow, highlighting the rich floral hues and enhancing the sense of intimacy.

Overhead, suspended floral installations and hanging greenery add drama and depth, framing the space with effortless grandeur. By seamlessly blending tradition with contemporary design, Larry Walshe Studios ensures a breathtaking and unforgettable private dining experience at Barnbougle Castle, where history and romance converge in a truly magical setting.
