Whether a private estate, a historic castle or an atmospheric barn, once you’ve booked your luxury wedding venue the fun can begin! You’ve set the date and now it’s time to start setting the stage for your most magical of days. Take inspiration from these 10 stunning styling ideas to make your luxury wedding venue your own.
Mix and Match
When your venue is a stunning orangery like this Syon House wedding and a totally blank canvas you can mix and match your pastel tones of blush, peaches, gold, fern greens and duck egg blue
Royal
Nothing says luxury wedding venue like a castle, but this can be a daunting space to try to decorate. You’ve got a certain amount of history and grandeur already built in, so let that take the lead and simply add blooms for an elegant floral finish. Nicola and Daniel decorated their Hedingham Castle wedding in style with dazzlingly romantic flowers.
Almost equally at regal is this stunning Gosfield Hall wedding, with huge blossom trees Victoria and Ricky really wowed with their reception room
Coral tones
Sometimes, all a luxury wedding venue needs are the right accents to accentuate the features that are already there. This was certainly the case for Hayleigh and Ben’s Braxted Park wedding, where coral peonies ensured the florals were totally romantic.
White and greens
For a truly timeless way to style your luxury wedding venue, a tranquil palette of ivory and green could be perfect for you. This look sits equally prettily in an ornate Orangery or country house setting as it does against exposed brick walls. The secret is to be strict with your palette and keep it pared back. Amber and Brad’s Gaynes Park wedding shows you how.
Camilla and Ben also got married at Gaynes Park and picked this perfect colour scheme too, yet created a different wow factor again
Pretty in pink
Soft blush tones sit oh-so prettily against backdrops of marble columns, gilded cornicing and glittering chandeliers. They also add a beautiful softness and romance to buildings with a more agricultural past. When Beth and Adam celebrated their Granary Barns wedding, their blush and gold palette complemented the warm stone interiors exquisitely.
Or how Kerryn and Michael styled their pretty corals and pink wedding at Pembroke Lodge. Hydrangeas and stunning stationary, amongst beautiful lanterns and every tone of pink macaroon
Art Deco
If you’ve got a flair for the more flamboyant and want to add the wow-factor in style, an Art Deco theme could be for you. Think ostrich feathers towering from vases, chic monochrome accents and mirrored details galore. Kirsty and Jack chose this theme for their luxury wedding venue, Hedsor House, and the results were breath-taking.
Rustic with a splash of peach
Booking a luxury wedding venue doesn’t mean more rustic styling is out of the question. The location will lend the luxe, while your finishing touches add charm and character. Sarah and Ryan’s Farbridge Barns wedding is the one to look to for ideas. Cascading greenery installations added instant impact to the timber-framed ceremony space, while antique furniture, airy drapes and copper accents brought luxury to the country.
Calligraphy
At once elegant and understated, featuring accents of calligraphy throughout your wedding day styling will be subtle but incredibly stylish. The key is consistency, so apply the art of lettering across your on-the-day stationery as well as any wedding signs. Discover more dreamy calligraphy wedding ideas in my hand-picked guide.
