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.
