THE
BRIEF

The couple seeks a sophisticated yet intimate wedding celebration, blending classic elegance with a touch of modern romance. Their vision for the floral design is to create an immersive experience where nature and luxury converge. The focal flower for the day is the dahlia, chosen for its rich texture, variety of color, and ability to evoke both drama and grace. The goal is to create an elegant, timeless atmosphere that complements the beauty of Heckfield Place, incorporating soft pastels, deeper tones, and natural greenery.

The dining tables will be adorned with lush floral runners that feature dahlias as the central element, mixed with trailing ivy and smaller complementary blooms in muted tones. These arrangements will be designed to create a harmonious and cohesive feel throughout the dining experience, bringing the outside in and offering an immersive, nature-inspired atmosphere.

The floral runners will rest across long, elegant wooden tables, complemented by gold candle holders to add warmth and sophistication. Each table will feature variations of dahlia sizes, from large, bold blooms to smaller, delicate ones, with the deep burgundy and pastel shades of pink, cream, and white providing a rich, contrasting yet cohesive palette. This combination of luxurious florals and understated decor will highlight the elegance of Heckfield Place while maintaining a relaxed, intimate vibe for guests.

The Final Creation

At Heckfield Place, a stunning Georgian manor nestled in the Hampshire countryside, the wedding was transformed into a dreamlike celebration with the help of Larry Walshe Studios. The ceremony space, bathed in soft, natural light from the grand windows, featured an ethereal floral installation that brought the romance of the surrounding gardens inside.

Dahlias, with their rich textures and dramatic shapes, took center stage in a range of soft, pastel hues. The florals were meticulously arranged to create an atmosphere of elegance and intimacy, with cascading blooms framing the couple’s vows. Every detail was designed to highlight the natural beauty of the space, while the dahlias added a touch of bold sophistication and timeless grace to the ceremony’s overall aesthetic.

For the reception, the dining tables were adorned with elaborate floral runners of dahlias, complemented by trailing greenery and delicate smaller blooms, weaving through gold candlesticks and fine china. The florals created a sense of cohesion with the venue’s classic charm while introducing a contemporary edge.

Larry Walshe Studios crafted an immersive dining experience where the dahlias, in varying shades of blush, cream, and deep burgundy, danced across the tables and against the backdrop of the venue’s elegant interiors. The result was a breathtaking and harmonious fusion of nature and luxury, making the day feel both personal and extraordinary for everyone in attendance.
