Autumn Wedding Glamour: Rich Florals and Elegant Touches at Wild by Tart, London

Autumn weddings have a magic all their own. The crisp air, the changing leaves, and the warm, golden light create a naturally romantic atmosphere that pairs perfectly with luxurious, rich florals. Last Autumn, I had the privilege of working with a wonderful couple who envisioned an autumn wedding filled with warmth and style, and it was a joy to bring their vision to life. From the church entrance to the stylish reception at Wild by Tart in London, every detail was a stunning reflection of the season’s beauty.

The Perfect Autumn Day

The couple’s vision for a luxurious yet warm atmosphere was brought to life with the perfect crisp autumn day and florals that showcased the richness of the season. With the ceremony at St Luke’s, Fulham followed by a bus ride to Wild by Tart, Belgravia.

The Florals: Seasonal Dahlia, Roses, and Hydrangea

When it comes to creating wedding florals for the autumn season, it’s all about embracing the rich, vibrant hues that nature offers. For this wedding, I used a stunning combination of seasonal dahlias, roses, and hydrangeas with an abundance of foliage.

The church entrance featured a dramatic floral column, with a cascade of deep burgundy dahlias, blush pink roses, and soft mauve hydrangeas, complemented by warm autumnal foliage in shades of gold, burnt orange, and deep greens. It set the tone for the entire day—bold, romantic, and utterly striking.

As the flowers moved to Wild by Tart for the reception, they continued to shine, adding an element of luxe glamour to the venue. The rich tones —along with touches of greenery and delicate autumn foliage—created a seamless transition from the church to the reception, bringing the beauty of the season indoors.

Reception: Long Dinner Tables, Candles, and Glass Bud Vases

One of my absolute favourite aspects of this wedding was the reception setup at Wild by Tart. The venue itself exudes understated luxury with its minimalist design, which allowed the florals to truly take centre stage. We arranged long dinner tables, each adorned with a scattering of colour matched candles, creating a warm, intimate glow throughout the space.

What made the tables truly special were the rows of beautiful glass bud vases, each holding a selection of carefully chosen stems. These delicate, understated arrangements allowed the flowers to shine, while the collective effect brought a sense of balance and harmony to the room. The soft, flickering candlelight highlighted the rich tones of the flowers, creating an enchanting atmosphere for the guests.

Floral Column: From Church to Reception

The floral column that greeted guests at the church entrance was too beautiful to be left behind. After the ceremony, we carefully moved it to the reception at Wild by Tart, where it became a striking focal point in the venue. Positioned near the entrance, it created a stunning first impression for guests as they arrived.

It was an elegant reminder of the season’s beauty, a piece of floral art that transitioned seamlessly from ceremony to celebration.

Autumn Wedding Glamour at Its Best

There’s something undeniably glamorous about an autumn wedding. The warm colours, the opulent florals, and the intimate atmosphere create a sense of luxury that feels both timeless and modern. This particular wedding was the perfect embodiment of that glamour, with florals that celebrated the beauty of the season while adding an elegant touch to every detail.

Whether you’re envisioning dramatic columns of flowers, intimate table settings with candles and bud vases, or a romantic mix of seasonal blooms, I would love to bring your floral vision to life with style, elegance, and a touch of autumn magic.

Summer Wedding at The Mitre, Hampton Court

A Dreamy Summer Wedding: Soft Blush Pink Florals at Orleans House and The Mitre Hotel

As a wedding florist based in Hampton Court, Surrey, I’m lucky enough to work with couples who choose the most breathtaking venues for their special day. This particular summer wedding was a true blend of elegance, simplicity, and understated beauty, set against the stunning backdrop of Orleans House in Twickenham for the ceremony, followed by a stylish reception at The Mitre Hotel in Hampton Court.

The Venue: Orleans House Twickenham & The Mitre Hotel Hampton Court

Orleans House, with its beautiful historic architecture and lush, tranquil grounds, provided the perfect romantic setting for the couple’s ceremony. With the soft, natural light that streams through the venue’s grand windows making the delicate blush pink and greenery florals really pop.

Following the ceremony, guests were taken by boat to The Mitre Hotel in Hampton Court, a venue well known for its sophisticated charm and riverside location. Here, the reception unfolded in The Orangery, an intimate and stylish space, complete with long dinner tables that were set with flickering candles and rows of delicate glass bud vases.

Florals: Simple, Stylish, and Elegant

The bride and groom had a clear vision for their florals—soft, romantic tones of blush pinks and lush greenery, with a touch of timeless elegance. As a wedding florist, it’s always a joy to bring a couple’s vision to life with flowers that create an atmosphere of warmth, beauty, and love.

For the ceremony, the florals were kept simple but impactful. We created large floral urn designs on raised plinths, a popular choice for Orleans House ceremonies. On the steps outside we created meadow style arrangements with soft blush pink roses, pale peonies, and delicate greenery creating a fresh, organic feel without overwhelming the space - and the perfect spot for photography. The overall effect was soft, romantic, and perfectly in tune with the venue’s classic beauty.

Reception: Long Dinner Tables Full of Candles

The reception at The Mitre Hotel was nothing short of magical. Long dinner tables, draped in crisp white linens, were lined with an abundance of candles, casting a warm and inviting glow over the space. The florals were designed to be equally soft and understated, with blush pinks, muted peach tones, and varying shades of green—nothing too bold, but just enough to create a calm and beautiful environment.

Low table arrangements allowed guests to chat comfortably across the table, while the soft candlelight created an intimate, romantic atmosphere.

Why Simple, Elegant Florals Work for Every Wedding

As a florist, I love how simple yet stylish florals can transform a space without taking over the entire aesthetic. The combination of soft blush pinks and greens brings a timeless elegance to any venue, whether it’s an intimate outdoor ceremony or a grand hotel reception.

Working with long dinner tables and candles allows the florals to shine in a subtle way. The candles’ warm glow enhances the beauty of the flowers without competing with them, allowing each element to complement the others perfectly. It’s a design philosophy that keeps things elegant without being too fussy, creating a balanced and harmonious atmosphere that enhances the couple’s celebration.
