If you’re getting married at Syrencot, you already know it’s one of the most sought-after wedding venues in Wiltshire. With its light-filled Glasshouse, Walled Garden, and that seamless blend of modern and historic charm, it’s a fab setting. But when it comes to choosing your wedding flowers, how do you pick flowers that suit the venue, align with your style, and are as sustainable as possible?
As a preferred wedding florist at Syrencot, I’ve designed flowers for celebrations there in every season, working with the space rather than against it. More importantly, I run Milston Flower Barn with sustainability in mind: no floral foam, locally grown flowers wherever possible, reusable props, and avoiding single-use plastics wherever I can. If that matters to you, here’s how to get the best out of your Syrencot wedding flowers.
Flowers That Work Best at Syrencot
The Glasshouse: Keep It Light and Airy
With its natural light and high ceilings, the Glasshouse suits delicate, airy floral designs that enhance the space without overpowering it. Think meadow-style arrangements, trailing foliage, and asymmetric designs that feel like they’ve naturally settled into the space rather than being placed there just for the day. If you love the idea of a flower arch, it would look stunning against the glass gable end for the ceremony and can later be moved behind the top table in the Farmshed for maximum impact. Just remember: heavy, blocky arrangements can feel too rigid in a space designed to feel open.
The Farmshed: Statement Florals with Purpose
The Farmshed’s dramatic dark beams and contemporary styling provide the perfect backdrop for impactful floral designs. Lush floral pillars, statement urns, or long tables lined with abundant florals help to soften the industrial edge while maintaining the modern aesthetic. I also encourage couples to think about repurposing flowers from the ceremony to the reception, keeping sustainability and budget in check. Why not move a meadow arrangement from the aisle to the head table?
Sustainable Wedding Flowers: What That Actually Means
Sustainability in floristry is more than a buzzword. Here’s how I approach it:
No floral foam: Traditional flower foam is full of microplastics. I use alternatives like reusable chicken wire, moss, and flower frogs that don’t harm the environment or your health.
Locally grown flowers, whenever possible: The less your flowers travel, the lower the carbon footprint. I source from British growers where I can, especially in peak season.
No single-use plastics: That means no plastic trays, wraps, or wasteful packaging.
Multi-use props: I invest in reusable vases, structures, and mechanics rather than disposable decor. If I do use props, I encourage couples to hire rather than buy.
Wiltshire Wedding Florist for Syrencot & Beyond
While I love working at Syrencot, I also design flowers for weddings across Wiltshire and the Southwest, including venues like Larmer Tree, Silchester Farm, Bake Barn, and Post Barn. Sustainability, great service, and careful execution are always my focus, but no two designs are ever the same. Every wedding is different, and I’ll make sure your flowers feel right for both the setting and your style. If that sounds like what you’re after, let’s talk.
