Incorporate silver or gold to bring the whole room together for a classic and stunning look without blowing the budget.” – Jo Campbell from Harrison’s Flowers. DÉCOR “Place candles around the venue in cylinder vases.” – Jo. “I recommend picking a few key areas such as an entrance pillar, imposing stairway or a beautiful wall where you can capture some atmospheric images and concentrate on those.” – Jo. “Country houses are something that the UK does very well. The key is not to overdo the style or detract from the architectural beauty of the building.” – Jo. “Purchase lanterns and place them down the aisle and on the staircase to create a soft, romantic glow.” – Jo. “Opt for some beautiful floral installations in urns or candelabra for the tables. This will add height, drama and elegance.” – Jo. “A gorgeous moongate can be used for the ceremony and wedding breakfast.” – Jo. COUNTRY HOUSE CONTACT THE EXPERTS AT HARRISONSFLOWERS.CO.UK
