CRIPPS BARN WEDDING FLOWERS

We just adore working at Cripps Barn wedding venue in the Cotswolds countryside near Cirencester. It has a laid back luxury vibe for a barn venue plus amazing indoor and outdoor spaces. Here's a round up of where we think florals work best in this super barn destination.

FLORAL HOOP FOR A SUMMER WEDDING AT CRIPPS BARN

Floral Arches for weddings at Cripps Barn

The main wooden doorway out onto the decking and garden is a wonderful site for a floral arch as you'll probably come out through this door for your confetti throw. Guests love it for a cheeky selfie too.

Another popular spot is behind the top table - we've created delicate arches around the old wooden doorway.

Chandeliers and Floral Hoops

Definitely one of the "must haves" for most couples at Cripps Barn. The large floral hoop in the main barn creates an amazing focal feature for your ceremony and then to party under afterwards. Big and bold, colourful or neutrals, we design hoops in every shape, style and size.

Another opportunity for ceiling florals is the reception and bar area. We regularly dress the black metal light fitting with extra flowers or created fountains of foliage from the wooden beams. A great way to add colour, texture and your style to the barn. See more of Tilly and Adam's incredible late summer wedding here.

Guest Table flowers for Cripps Barn Weddings

Table flowers at Cripps Barn weddings are best kept low as the ceilings are not super high. We love a combination of pin bowls, bud vases and low centrepieces for the tables, mixed in with elegant taper candles in tonal colours and perhaps an informal knotted napkin.

Top table flowers for Cripps Barn Weddings

Top tables could be positioned against the back wall or integrated into the run of banqueting tables. Either way, you'll want to think about the florals for the top table as they need to frame you both during the reception when lots of photos will be taken. For a winter wedding, I particularly loved this fresh and dried flower garland that we made. It was full of texture and looked fabulous on top of a cheescloth fabric runner.

The Fireplace Florals

The fireplace is spectacular at Cripps Barn, particularly when the fire is lit and the candles are twinkling. This is a good spot for a frothy foliage design or go big with florals each side and cascading down. Choices, choices.
