Design Inspiration for the best Wiltshire & Sussex wedding venues

Bloominati floral designs are forward-thinking, artistic curations, and are always brought together with a deep empathy for your Sussex wedding venue. Working in Sussex and the surrounding counties, there are so many beautiful wedding venues for me to flower – from contemporary, industrial city spaces to lovingly kept historic manor houses – and enhancing, not distracting from, your space is always one of my top priorities.

You can use this page as design inspiration for your own Sussex wedding flowers, as we take a tour of 8 different wedding venues in the area and I show you how I’d decorate them with nature’s precious jewels.

 

Sussex Wedding Venues: Floral Inspiration

 

LIMEKILN Sussex Weddings

LIMEKILN Sussex in rural Sussex is one of the venues at which I’m proud to be a recommended supplier, and it has a variety of gorgeous spaces just crying out to be filled with floral fabulousness.

The Alder Room is one of your ceremony options, with a modern barn vibe soaked in natural light from its big feature window. This is the perfect spot to build a framing floral installation, showcasing the two of you as you say your ‘I do’s.

Moving into the Poplar Hall, your dining space, we find more floor-to-ceiling windows, walls set with wraparound niches and a hand-painted frieze by a local artist.

Design & Colour Schemes for wedding flowers at Limekiln

The spaces at LIMEKILN Sussex are versatile and can pretty much cope with any level of design and any colour scheme, which is a real treat for me and you.

Because of its high ceilings, we can comfortably go big with your wedding flowers, without competing with the space. In Poplar Hall, the niches are perfect for a range of design choices – we could opt for an intentionally minimal style using single bud vases, or fill it up and overflow it with florals. 

LIMEKILN is also a blank canvas for your colour palette, and we can work with lots of combinations of hues. One of Bloominati’s specialisms is colour, helping you make a bold statement no matter if you’re going all-white or all-bright.

When I work at a venue like LIMEKILN Sussex, the colour possibilities are so exciting to me – the rooms look equally beautiful decked in warm neutrals, summery yellows and oranges, dark and moody winter warmers, or showy pinks. We could pick out one of the colours of the hand-painted frieze and amplify it in your florals, or we could use the light earth tone walls as a base to get wildly creative.

Firle Place Weddings

My team and I know Firle Place intimately, which means we really know how to create exquisite floral designs here. Each wedding I work on here is visually different and feels unique, and its historic interiors are so much fun to bring creative flair to.

You might recognise this country estate from Bridgerton, and we’re sure it’s seen its fair share of real-life shenanigans as well as those on screen. Whether you decide to marry in its lush gardens or quaint courtyard, crafting the finest floral backdrop to your day here is our pleasure.

Design & Colour Schemes for wedding flowers at Firle Place

Firle Place is one of those Sussex wedding venues that feels truly grand and historical, and your dining space feels like it lends itself perfectly to a rustic, overgrown style of florals. Don’t be fooled, though – you’re not boxed into any particular style, because delicately intertwining regency interiors with modern wedding flowers is what we do. As you browse through our portfolio of work at Firle, you’ll see designs based in whimsy, installations giving contemporary chic, pared-back table florals and blousy centrepieces – not to mention a range of colour schemes.

Whether we warm up the space with zingy pinks or keep it cool and classy with the finest, palest blooms, these walls sing in vintage vibrancy. 

 

Pelham House Weddings

The next stop on our tour of inspiration for your own Sussex wedding flowers is Pelham House, a venue in East Sussex that oozes Georgian gorgeousness. To work with me on your florals here is to be assured of excellence – I’ve worked at Pelham House many times and created a variety of show-stopping designs, enhancing the sophisticated charm of the place and telling your unique story to perfection. 

You’ll probably love Pelham House for all the same reasons I do – that grand staircase, indescribably perfect for abundant, tumbling floral designs, and its Ballroom, Goring Room and gardens that offer such creative opportunity with their blank canvases. We aren’t limited in our design options here, and can create large-scale installations or little lovelies that will look equally as wonderful.

Colour Schemes for wedding flowers at Pelham House

Because of the colour of the walls at Pelham House, we have freedom of choice with your colour scheme. Sophie and Ben’s Pelham House winter wedding palette contained the most sumptuous dark, velvety blooms and for Alex and Jack we worked with creamy whites, French blue and faded peach – it’s always amazing to see a room transform when you flood it with colour.

 

Findon Place Weddings

Findon Place is nothing short of magnificent, one of those venues where your Sussex wedding flowers must match the splendour of their surroundings. The fireplaces, the paintings, the doorways, the statues…it’s sumptuous and made to entertain and impress.

Because there is so much interest all around, it’s important to play with height, depth, different types of vessels and levels of volume to make your flowers hold their own. You might think that less would be more at a place like Findon, but I believe embracing the grandeur means crafting a floral wonderland that takes up space, has impact, and is you to a T.

Colour schemes for wedding flowers at Findon Place

Take a look at my portfolio of work at Findon and you’ll see that warm, feminine colour schemes work really well here, and can be lifted with light tones or deepened with darker ones. We can create a cosier, more intimate atmosphere by drawing the focus inward with richer colours, or open and brighten with white blooms and fluffy, flouncy ceiling installations.

Surrounding Areas: Hampshire Wedding Venues & Floral Inspiration

I also work in Sussex’s surrounding areas, and provide wedding flowers in Hampshire for all your wildly in love couples at your fabulous venues. I couldn’t miss mentioning two of my favourite Hampshire wedding venues, and showing you some of the floral design possibilities at them. 

 

The Grange

The Grange is an utterly unique place, a glorious mansion house with interiors that have been left beautifully distressed. It has a raw magnetism that is appealingly juxtaposed with the usual polished, feminine vibe associated with a wedding – and this is what makes it so incredible.

The worn spaces of The Grange can be filled with organic, abundant florals that look as though they’ve grown right through the windows and floors, or sharpened up with modern textures and techniques. Whatever you decide, the colour scheme is yours for the choosing – it may be distinctive, but the space can take any combination of shades from moody, Elizabethan romance to British summer garden brights.

 

Avington Park

Avington Estate is the dream for full weekend weddings, allowing you to exclusively hire the whole place and flit about like you own it for a while. And for a wedding florist, it’s a dream to create here. The Rose Garden, the Orangery and the Library each offer something different, so whatever you’re envisioning for your wedding flowers we can carry it off here.

The Orangery is something special, allowing us to choose – will we fill its airy openness with abundance or pare it back and let the view do the talking? 

Spicy shades, silky muted neutrals and everything in between all work well here, and you can hire us for the whole weekend to decorate each of your spaces for every event in turn. We can craft a continuous design that feels distinct for each day, yet also as though it belongs to the same wedding – one harmonious story throughout the weekend, with complementary chapters to show who you two really are.

Floral Inspiration for Wiltshire Wedding Venues

It would be remiss of me not to mention LIMEKILN’s sister venue in Wiltshire, Kin House. These two are very definitely sisters, not twins, but equally beautiful in their own ways. Where LIMEKILN gives on-trend farmhouse, Kin House is a honey brick Georgian manor with a beautiful Hearth Room (you know I love a fireplace) and Garden House complete with huge glass doors and a resident fig tree.

Take a look at the Northbrook Park fireplace to get an idea of the kind of designs we can create in spaces like this.

Kin House looks good in all colours, with fresh, bright tones creating a striking impression in the white-walled Garden House and the Hearth Room suiting warmer, softer palettes. 

 

Whichever venue you choose, your Sussex wedding flowers will always have a lasting impact when you work with us.

We select the finest flower varieties and curate the most creative designs, thinking outside the box about how to translate your deeply personal story into vivacious visuals. We’re big on colour and not afraid to go bold with it, so take a look at how we work with all the other elements of your day to ensure a cohesive, elevated overall aesthetic.
