Elmore Court is a characterful Cotswolds wedding venue, combining historic architecture with warm, contemporary spaces that feel relaxed and welcoming rather than formal.
When planning wedding flowers at Elmore Court, couples often find that the venue already has a strong sense of personality. The role of floral design is less about transformation, and more about complementing the spaces thoughtfully and intentionally.
This guide shares a floral designer’s perspective on how to approach wedding flowers at Elmore Court in a way that feels considered, balanced and in keeping with the venue.
Understanding the spaces at Elmore Court
Elmore Court offers a variety of spaces throughout the day, each with its own atmosphere. From ceremony areas in the country house to the Gillyflower; a contemporary and sustainable space for your reception, floral designs benefit from being tailored to each setting rather than repeated uniformly.
Considering how guests move through the venue helps inform where flowers will have the most impact, and where simplicity allows the character of the space to shine.
Balancing character with floral design
With venues like Elmore Court, less is often more. The building’s textures, colours and architectural details already provide visual interest, so florals work best when they enhance rather than compete.
Layered designs, natural movement and seasonal flowers tend to sit comfortably within the space, creating a relaxed, cohesive feel without over-styling.
Colour palettes that suit wedding flowers at Elmore Court
Soft, nature-led palettes work particularly well at Elmore Court. Muted greens, gentle neutrals, soft whites and selected accent tones allow floral designs to feel connected to both the building and its countryside setting.
Couples planning wedding flowers at Elmore Court often find that subtle colour variation photographs beautifully and complements the warmth of the interiors.
Ceremony and reception flow
Rather than treating ceremony and reception flowers as separate elements, a more considered approach is to allow designs to move with the day where possible.
Most floral design studios, including us at J.R Floristry, plan for discreet on-site support to allow arrangements to be carefully repositioned during quieter moments, helping to maximise impact without unnecessary duplication.
Seasonality and timing
Seasonal flowers not only offer better value, but also feel more natural within a countryside venue like Elmore Court. Working with what’s available at the time of year helps floral designs feel intentional, relaxed and in harmony with the surroundings.
Final thoughts
Wedding flowers at Elmore Court work best when they feel thoughtfully placed and in balance with the venue’s character. Clear priorities around colour, scale and placement early in the planning process can make a significant difference to the overall feel of the day.
