LUXURY MARQUEE WEDDING FLOWERS, ON A PRIVATE YORKSHIRE ESTATE.
Photographer Helaina Storey
MODERN LAID BACK LUXURY STYLE
At Daisy Hoban Floral Design, every wedding begins with a story. When Steph & Brett came to us with their dream of a spring wedding on the family’s private estate, we knew immediately that their celebration would be something truly special. They wanted a day that felt stylish and modern, but also deeply connected to the grounds and gardens they loved so much. Our role as their chosen luxury wedding florist was to bring that vision to life, to transform a blank canvas marquee into an extraordinary, flower-filled space that reflected their personalities and love story.
What unfolded was a wedding defined by large, timeless floral installations, organic and naturally undone arrangements, and delicate tablescapes inspired by the estate’s gardens. By blending soft whites, towering greenery, and gentle blush pinks with a touch of bold blue, we created a colour palette that was elegant yet playful, classic yet contemporary. Every flower told a story, every stem had a purpose, and the final result was nothing short of breathtaking.
WHY CHOOSE A MARQUEE WEDDING?
Marquee weddings have a magic of their own. Unlike traditional venues, they give couples the freedom to build their celebration from the ground up, quite literaly building their own venue! Every wall, every table, every element can be customised. For this couple, the choice to hold their wedding in a luxury Wills Marquee, on their family’s estate was both sentimental and stylish. The estate’s rolling lawns, mature gardens, and sweeping views provided a natural backdrop that felt both intimate and grand.
As expert marquee wedding florists, we love the challenge and opportunity these weddings provide. Marquees are blank canvases, they require imagination, creativity, and bold floral design to truly come alive. With their crisp white interiors and wide-open spaces, marquees invite scale and drama, making them the perfect setting for statement floral installations and immersive designs. This wedding beautifully combined the sentimental charm of marrying on family land, with the opportunity to weave the couples modern style into every detail.
THE FLORAL VISION
From the very first consultation, it was clear that this couple wanted flowers to be a central part of their day. They described their style as laid-back yet luxurious, modern and authentic, and deeply connected to nature. With this in mind, our design vision was guided by three principles: organic beauty, timeless impact and modern artistry.
We knew we wanted the marquee to feel like an extension of the estate gardens; light, airy, and filled with life. That meant embracing an undone, natural style, with arrangements that felt as though they had grown in place rather than being forced into shape. At the same time, we wanted to introduce modern elements: sculptural touches, playful pops of colour, and details that reflected the couple’s playful personal style.
The colour palette was central to this vision. Soft whites and greens gave us a timeless foundation, blush pinks added romance and warmth, and a bold injection of blue provided a surprising, modern twist. This balance allowed us to create flowers that were both classic and fresh, elegant and unforgettable.
LARGE FLORAL INSTALLATIONS: TRANSFORMING THE MARQUEE SPACE
For this wedding, the floral installations were designed to be truly unforgettable, guiding guests on a journey from the estate grounds into the heart of the marquee. As guests made their way towards the reception, they were greeted by a huge, immersive floral arch, a breathtaking design that framed the entrance and set the tone for what was to come. Lush, abundant, and alive with seasonal flowers, it felt both awe-inspiring and welcoming. The perfect transition between the beauty of the gardens and the celebrations ahead.
Inside the Wills marquee, we turned our attention to the structure itself. Rather than disguising the internal poles, we embraced them, transforming them with towering greenery that stretched right up to the ceiling. This created dramatic scale while keeping the look natural and informal, blurring the boundaries between the marquee and the surrounding estate. The effect was one of immersion: a space that felt less like a constructed venue and more like an extension of the gardens themselves, filled with movement, texture, and life.
These large-scale designs are a signature of Daisy Hoban Floral Design’s approach to marquee weddings; statement florals that are both impactful and harmonious, enhancing the structure while staying true to the natural surroundings. Designing flowers for marquees is very different from working in traditional venues. Marquees are vast, open spaces that require floral designs to be both impactful and practical. Installations must be scaled to fill the space, mechanics must be secure and safe, and designs must work in harmony with natural light and the structure itself.
At Daisy Hoban Floral Design, we are proud to be known as marquee wedding specialists. We have the experience, creativity, and technical expertise to make marquees come alive with flowers. Whether it’s suspended installations, adundant floral arches, or immersive tablescapes, we know how to create designs that bring warmth, soul, and beauty to these unique spaces.
For couples planning private estate marquee weddings, this expertise is invaluable. It means peace of mind, knowing that their marquee will be transformed into a stylish, luxurious, flower-filled space where memories will be made
The Final Transformation: A Marquee Filled with Style and Joy
The flowers enhanced the very architecture of the marquee, adding scale, softening the clean lines, and bringing colour and romance to the crisp white canvas. Towering greenery and suspended installations gave the space depth and drama, while delicate touches of blush, soft whites, and bold blue created warmth and atmosphere. Hand-painted stationery and sculptural table florals wove Steph and Brett’s artistic, modern style into the design. Sparking conversation among guests and ensuring their character and love story shone through every detail of their big day.
