Romantic Pastel Wedding Flowers at Euridge Manor

Set amongst rolling countryside close to Bath, Euridge Manor is one of those rare wedding venues where the gardens, architecture and landscape feel completely intertwined. From the thatched Boathouse beside the water to its rose-filled gardens and sweeping views, there is a sense of romance everywhere you turn.

For this beautiful summer celebration, we worked alongside Amanda of AMV Weddings to create a floral story that felt as though it belonged within those surroundings. Amanda developed the overall creative direction for the celebration, sharing her mood boards and vision with us before we translated them into the floral designs throughout the two days.

Soft, romantic and a little whimsical, the palette brought together blush and soft pink, lilac, peach, ivory and touches of buttery yellow. Flowers were abundant but intentionally garden-like, with trailing foliage, delicate grasses and British greenery giving the arrangements movement and a natural, slightly untamed quality.

Having designed flowers at Euridge Manor on a number of occasions, it is a venue we know particularly well, and one we are delighted to be recommended by. Understanding the different spaces across the estate allows us to consider not only the individual arrangements, but how the flowers can lead guests through the celebration and make the most of each setting.

An Intimate Welcome Dinner at Euridge Manor

The celebration began the evening before with an intimate welcome dinner on the terrace, overlooking the gardens and Boathouse beyond.

For the table flowers, we created low footed bowls filled with soft summer flowers, interspersed with bud vases and slender taper candles. Keeping the arrangements low allowed conversation to flow easily across the table and, just as importantly, left the beautiful view beyond completely uninterrupted.

It was a softer introduction to the floral story that would unfold the following day, using the same romantic palette in a way that felt intimate and relaxed.

A Garden-Inspired Ceremony at the Euridge Manor Boathouse

For the wedding ceremony, the Boathouse became the focal point of the floral design.

Rather than creating a conventional ceremony arch, we wanted the flowers to feel integrated into the existing structure. Cascades of foliage and trailing vines climbed the timber pillars and fell from the beams overhead, while abundant baskets of flowers gathered around the base.

The result was intentionally immersive. From a distance, the flowers appeared to grow into the gardens surrounding the Boathouse, while closer up there were layers of roses, delphiniums, lisianthus and delicate meadow-like flowers emerging amongst the greenery.

We worked with roses and spray roses in several soft tones, alongside lisianthus, delphiniums, scabiosa, grasses and seasonal flowers. British foliage and trailing vines gave the installation its structure and movement, helping it settle naturally against the weathered timber of the Boathouse rather than feeling like something simply placed in front of it.

That relationship between flowers and setting is something we consider particularly carefully when designing wedding flowers at Euridge. The estate already has such an established garden character that floral installations can be abundant without needing to compete with their surroundings.

Creating an Immersive Ceremony at the Euridge Manor Boathouse

Creating the ceremony installation involved working across the Boathouse itself, rather than treating the flowers as a separate structure. We worked across the structure with layers of trailing foliage, allowing vines to fall naturally from the timber beams before building abundant floral arrangements around the base. Baskets filled with garden-inspired flowers softened the edges of the building and created the impression that the florals were growing naturally into their surroundings.

Installations of this scale are carefully planned in advance, from the mechanics and quantities of flowers required to the team needed on site to bring everything together within the wedding morning timeline. The aim is always for that work to disappear in the finished design, leaving something that feels completely at home within its setting.

Flowers on the Water

One of our favourite details was the rowing boat itself.

We created an abundant floral arrangement inside the boat using the same pastel palette as the ceremony, allowing it to become part of the wider design rather than simply a prop. After the ceremony, the couple took the boat onto the water for portraits, surrounded by the flowers and the gardens beyond.

It is exactly the kind of detail that works so beautifully at Euridge: playful and romantic, but completely connected to the character of the venue.

Romantic Pastel Summer Wedding Flowers

Colour played an important part in creating the sense of romance that ran throughout the celebration. Rather than relying on a single shade of pink, we layered shell pink, blush and peach with ivory, lilac and lavender, introducing occasional touches of buttery yellow for warmth and brightness.

The combination of roses, delphiniums, lisianthus, scabiosa, grasses and trailing foliage created softness and movement throughout the designs, allowing the same palette to take on a slightly different character in each setting.

The result felt colourful without becoming overly bright, and whimsical without losing the elegance of the setting.

Portraits in the Euridge Manor Gardens

The same floral palette took on a different character as the couple moved through the gardens for their portraits.

Against the greenery surrounding the Boathouse, the flowers felt loose and naturalistic; beside the pale stone of the Manor, the softer lilac, blush and ivory tones became particularly beautiful.

For the bridal bouquet, we kept the shape loose and romantic, combining blush roses with lilac, ivory and soft blue flowers, delicate grasses and greenery. It was designed to have movement rather than a perfectly structured outline, echoing the more naturalistic quality of the larger installations.

An Alfresco Wedding Breakfast

Later, the couple saw their wedding breakfast setting for the first time.

For the long table, we used elongated woven baskets filled with abundant garden flowers, creating a continuous floral rhythm along its centre. Smaller bud vases sat between the larger arrangements, while taper candles introduced height and a softer layer of detail.

The woven baskets brought a relaxed, natural texture to the table and connected the dining setting back to the baskets used around the Boathouse earlier in the day. A larger basket arrangement at the end of the table completed the design and helped the flowers feel considered from every angle.

This is also where I think the design demonstrates why considering the wedding as a whole is so important. Rather than treating the ceremony and reception as separate spaces, repeated flowers, colours, textures and vessels allowed the design to evolve while still feeling cohesive throughout the day.

A Floral Wedding Cake in the Gardens

The wedding cake created another floral moment within the gardens.

Created by Nina of Erzulie Cakes, the sculptural white cake was displayed in the gardens, where we created an abundant floral backdrop around it. The arch was filled with loose greenery and pastel summer flowers, with additional flowers growing upwards around the base so that the cake appeared almost enclosed within a secret garden.

Against the simplicity of the white cake, the surrounding colour and texture made the entire display feel particularly magical.

Designing Wedding Flowers at Euridge Manor

Euridge Manor offers so many possibilities for floral design because each part of the estate has its own atmosphere. The Boathouse can feel wonderfully romantic and intimate, the gardens lend themselves to abundant, naturalistic flowers, while the pale stone and more formal spaces around the Manor provide a beautiful contrast.

Having designed flowers at Euridge Manor on a number of occasions, and for weddings throughout the Cotswolds, our approach is always to consider the venue, season and wider creative direction together. Whether that means creating an immersive ceremony installation, flowers for a multi-day celebration or the quieter details running through a tablescape, every element is designed as part of one cohesive floral story.

If you are planning a wedding at Euridge Manor and would like your flowers to feel abundant, romantic and beautifully connected to the setting, we would be delighted to hear more about your plans.
