Our Favourite Wedding Venues for Luxury Florals

There’s something undeniably magical about South Devon. Rolling countryside, historic architecture, and breathtaking coastal & moorland views create the perfect backdrop for unforgettable weddings. As a recommended florist at some of the region’s most stunning venues, we have the privilege of bringing floral dreams to life in truly spectacular settings.

Today, I’m shining a spotlight on four exceptional venues we’re proud to work with: The Great Barn, Dartington Hall, Bovey Castle, and Shilstone House. Each offers its own unique charm—and endless inspiration for beautiful floral design.

The Great Barn, Higher Ashton

Steeped in history and character, The Great Barn is one of the most iconic wedding spaces in Devon. With its soaring timber beams, ancient stone walls, and dramatic sense of scale, it’s a venue that speaks for itself. The gardens, barn, and lighting are just perfect.

Florally, this space invites bold yet sympathetic styling. Think abundant greenery, soft trailing installations, and romantic candlelight to enhance the barn’s natural textures. From statement arches to long banquet tables adorned with seasonal blooms, every design here feels timeless and atmospheric.

Dartington Hall, Near Totnes

Set within a stunning estate, Dartington Hall combines medieval grandeur with tranquil gardens and elegant interiors. It offers a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor celebration spaces, making it ideal for couples who want variety and flow throughout their day, whether your wedding is large or a more intimate affair .

Our floral approach here often reflects the surrounding landscape, organic, garden-inspired arrangements filled with texture and movement. Whether it’s a ceremony framed by soft florals or reception tables echoing the colours of the season, Dartington Hall is a canvas for effortlessly romantic design.

Bovey Castle, North Bovey

Located within Dartmoor National Park, Bovey Castle exudes luxury, drama, and breathtaking scenery. As a recommended florist for Bovey Castle weddings, we design florals that match the venue’s grandeur and sophistication.

Florals here can be as opulent or refined as you wish. From classic white and green arrangements that complement the castle’s elegance, to rich, dramatic palettes that echo the surrounding moorland, every design feels elevated. Large installations, staircase florals, and statement centrepieces all find their perfect home in this majestic setting.

Shilstone House, Near Modbury

If you’re looking for understated elegance with a contemporary edge, Shilstone House is a true gem. This beautifully restored Georgian manor offers a light-filled, intimate atmosphere paired with the most immaculate gardens.

Floristry here often leans towards refined simplicity, delicate colour palettes, sculptural designs, and thoughtful details that enhance rather than overwhelm the space. From chic ceremony backdrops to stylish table arrangements, Shilstone House is perfect for couples who appreciate modern sophistication.

Bringing It All Together

Working across these incredible venues is both a privilege and a constant source of inspiration. I’m incredibly lucky I get to flower them! Each space tells its own story, and our role is to enhance that narrative through flowers, whether that means creating something wild and abundant, soft and romantic, or bold and dramatic.

South Devon truly is a dream wedding destination, and these venues showcase the very best it has to offer. We’re always honoured to be part of such meaningful celebrations in such extraordinary places.

If you’re planning your wedding at one of these venues, we’d love to help bring your floral vision to life.
