A Floral Designer’s Guide to Weddings at Holesfoot, Your Lake District Florist
A Floral Designer’s Guide to Weddings at Holesfoot, Your Lake District Florist
Holesfoot is a stunning wedding venue nestled in The Eden Valley, just a stone’s throw from Tebay Services (arguably the best service station in the country!). This secluded gem offers everything you could wish for in a wedding venue, from the charming, country-style house filled with warmth and a remarkable collection of Sam Toft paintings, to the fabulous barn and inviting bell tents that your guests will love.
What truly sets Holesfoot apart is its owner, Liv, who brings an extraordinary touch of magic along with her dedicated team, affectionately known as her cowboys. The attention to detail here is second to none, making Holesfoot your perfect home away from home, a blissful retreat surrounded by wild, whimsical beauty and plenty of spots for breathtaking wedding photos.
As a preferred supplier at Holesfoot, I have the privilege of working regularly in this enchanting setting as your trusted Holesfoot florist, crafting bespoke floral designs that complement the venue’s natural elegance.
Floral Inspiration at Holesfoot: The Italian Gardens
One of my favourite spots at Holesfoot is the Italian Gardens, sunken, intimate gardens by the lake that create a private, romantic setting for your vows. This hidden oasis is perfect for going all out with your wedding flowers.
There’s a charming iron arch here, ideal for creating a show-stopping flower arch dressed with seasonal blooms. At the end of the chair rows, meadow-style floral arrangements look effortless and beautiful, while classic floral urns on the stone plinths add a touch of timeless elegance. A huge bonus is that most of these floral features can be repurposed for your reception, making your flower budget go further.
Dressing The Barn: Creative Floral Ideas from Your Lake District Florist
The Barn at Holesfoot is the heart of your reception, where the food is served, and the dancing happens! With soaring ceilings and stunning black doors, it’s a spectacular space to style your wedding flowers.
I love using the exposed beams as a foundation for hanging trailing greenery or delicate flower clouds that float above your guests, adding an ethereal feel to the evening. The three large iron chandeliers here also provide a fabulous opportunity to incorporate greenery for a truly immersive floral experience.
Whether you opt for long banquet tables or round dining setups, I always recommend adding height to your wedding flower centrepieces. Layering tall and low arrangements or using elegant bud vases with tall flowers creates a dynamic, eye-catching tablescape that enhances the rustic charm of the barn.
Intimate Weddings and Abundant Floral Tablescapes
Holesfoot is equally perfect for more intimate weddings. The cosy house can host relaxed dining for up to 30 guests, making it ideal for couples wanting a more personal, close-knit celebration.
In this setting, you can go wild with abundant, lush floral tablescapes that bring warmth and character to your special day, truly bespoke and reflective of your personality.
