From the very beginning, Louisa and Josh envisioned a marquee wedding that felt joyful and beautifully romantic. Set in the Somerset countryside in May, their celebration was brought to life with softly abundant wedding flowers in a pastel palette of blush, pastel pink and pale blue, layered with peach tones and subtle splashes of orange. Using locally grown, seasonal early summer blooms — including peach foxgloves, garden roses and airy, unexpected varieties like geum — the flowers felt natural, elegant and full of movement. From delicately gathered bouquets and refined buttonholes to statement urns and a breathtaking floral chandelier suspended above the marquee, every detail was designed to create a true wow moment while still feeling effortless and timeless. Let’s take a look at Louisa and Josh’s beautiful marquee wedding flowers in Somerset.
Marquee Wedding Flowers in Somerset
Louisa & Josh | Somerset | May 2025
A Soft Bright Colour Palette Inspired by Early Summer
Louisa and Josh were drawn to a colour palette that felt fresh, uplifting and full of gentle warmth. Soft pastel pinks and pale blues formed the foundation, layered with blush and peach tones and finished with delicate splashes of orange to add depth and energy. The overall effect was light and romantic, but never overly sweet — perfectly suited to a relaxed May marquee wedding in Somerset.
Seasonal, Locally Grown Wedding Flowers in Somerset
Seasonality played a key role in shaping the flowers for the day. I used locally grown blooms wherever possible, choosing varieties that naturally thrive at this time of year. Peach foxgloves added height and softness, while garden roses brought a timeless, romantic feel. Airy, more unusual flowers like geum introduced movement and an almost meadow-like quality, helping the arrangements feel abundant yet effortless.
This thoughtful mix of soft brights, seasonal colour and natural textures created wedding flowers that felt joyful and alive — designed to complement the Somerset countryside while still feeling considered and elegant.
Delicately Abundant Bridal Bouquets & Buttonholes
For Louisa and Josh, the personal flowers were designed to feel soft, natural and beautifully unforced. The bridal bouquet was delicately abundant, gathered loosely to allow the flowers to move and breathe. Pastel pinks, blush and pale blue were layered with peach tones and gentle pops of orange, creating a bouquet that felt romantic, joyful and perfectly in tune with the season.
Rather than feeling overly styled, the bouquet had a relaxed, garden-inspired quality — as though the flowers had been freshly picked and gathered by hand that morning, while still feeling refined and considered.
Soft, Natural Buttonholes with Seasonal Detail
The buttonholes echoed the same soft-bright colour palette, using smaller seasonal blooms and airy textures to create a cohesive look across the wedding party. Designed to feel light and elegant, they complemented the bouquets without overpowering them, tying the overall floral story together in a subtle, thoughtful way.
Each buttonhole was finished with care, keeping the designs natural and understated — a small detail that added polish while still feeling effortless and true to the relaxed marquee setting.
Statement Urns & a Wow-Factor Floral Chandelier for the Marquee
To create real impact within the marquee space, Louisa and Josh chose to invest in a small number of standout floral designs rather than spreading flowers throughout the room. This allowed the arrangements to feel generous, considered and truly memorable — transforming the space while still keeping it light and elegant.
Large statement urns were positioned to frame key areas, filled with softly abundant, garden-style flowers in the same pastel palette of blush, pink, pale blue and peach, with subtle hints of orange woven through. The designs were full of movement and texture, with airy seasonal flowers creating a relaxed, meadow-inspired feel that suited the Somerset countryside beautifully.
A Floral Chandelier to Transform the Marquee Ceiling
Suspended above the marquee, the floral chandelier became an unforgettable focal point. Designed to feel light, floating and natural, it drew the eye upwards and added a sense of drama without overwhelming the space. Softly layered blooms, trailing textures and seasonal foliage created a cloud-like effect, bringing warmth and romance to the marquee interior.

By focusing on a soft-bright pastel palette and locally grown, seasonal flowers, the designs felt effortless yet impactful — proof that choosing the right floral moments can completely transform a space while still feeling natural and relaxed.
