• Winter: Amaryllis, holly, evergreen foliage, white roses

Prested Hall’s natural surroundings complement any floral arrangement, enhancing the beauty of your chosen blooms.

2. Floral Installations to Elevate Your Venue

Make a statement with floral installations that transform your wedding space. Some ideas include:

• Floral Arches: Frame your ceremony with a dramatic floral arch at the garden entrance.
• Hanging Florals: Suspended blooms above reception tables create an enchanting atmosphere.
• Floral Aisle Runners: Line your wedding aisle with cascading petals or floral garlands.
• Flower Walls: A floral backdrop for stunning wedding photos and a luxurious reception ambiance.

The Orangery and Marquee at Prested Hall provide stunning locations for such installations, allowing florals to enhance the ambiance without overpowering the setting.

3. The Perfect Floral Setting: Prested Hall’s Gardens and Marquee

Prested Hall’s expansive gardens provide an idyllic setting for a floral-focused wedding. Imagine exchanging vows under a floral-draped pergola or hosting a reception in a beautifully adorned marquee with nature all around you.

• The Garden: A picturesque space for outdoor ceremonies with fresh blooms complementing the natural landscape.
• The Marquee: A perfect blank canvas for floral creativity, from ceiling drapery to flower-laden tablescapes.
• The Oak Room: If you prefer an indoor setting, the warm tones of The Oak Room contrast beautifully with pastel florals and greenery.

4. Bouquets and Boutonnieres: Adding Personal Touches

Your personal floral arrangements should reflect your wedding theme and color palette. Some popular bouquet styles include:

• Cascading Bouquets: Dramatic and elegant with trailing vines and lush blooms.
• Hand-Tied Bouquets: A more natural and effortless style, perfect for rustic weddings.
• Monochromatic Bouquets: One-color bouquets for a chic and modern aesthetic.

Boutonnieres for the groom and groomsmen can incorporate subtle floral accents that tie into the larger floral theme.

5. Floral-Inspired Wedding Tablescapes

Tablescapes can transform your reception into a floral wonderland. Incorporate elements like:

• Low floral centerpieces for intimate table settings.
• Tall floral arrangements to add drama to larger tables.
• Floral garlands running along the length of banquet tables.
• Candles and flowers combined for a romantic ambiance.

With Prested Hall’s elegant interiors and customizable dining spaces, floral elements can be perfectly integrated into your wedding aesthetic.

6. Eco-Friendly Floral Choices

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in wedding planning. Consider:

• Locally Sourced Flowers: Reduce carbon footprint by choosing flowers from local farms.
• Potted Plants: Instead of cut flowers, use potted blooms that can be replanted.
• Dried Florals: A long-lasting and stylish option for a vintage look.

Prested Hall’s natural surroundings encourage couples to incorporate eco-conscious choices, ensuring a beautiful yet responsible wedding celebration.
