When it comes to your wedding day, flowers do more than look beautiful — they bring your love story to life. From soft, romantic roses in an intimate chapel to wild coastal blooms dancing in the sea breeze, the right arrangements will set the tone for your big day.
Here in Pembrokeshire and South Wales, we’re blessed with stunning venues, talented local florists, and seasonal flowers that make every celebration unique.
1. Start with Your Venue & Setting
Your venue will shape the style of your arrangements.
-
Roch Castle: Elegant, historic, and perched above the coastline — perfect for dramatic, structured floral designs with roses, hydrangeas, and trailing ivy.
-
St Davids Cathedral: Rich in tradition and grandeur — tall arrangements of lilies, gladioli, or delphiniums complement the soaring space beautifully.
-
Coastal Venues like The Cliff Hotel & Spa, Cardigan: Wind-swept, romantic settings work wonderfully with wildflowers, grasses, and thistles for a natural, boho look.
-
Country Houses such as Slebech Park or Crug Glas: Soft pastel palettes, peonies, and garden roses create a refined countryside elegance.

Reception Table Arrangements – Garlands of eucalyptus and rosemary (which also smell amazing).
-
Cake Florals – Locally grown roses, lavender, or edible blooms for a beautiful and fragrant finish.
5. Embrace the Coastal & Countryside Charm
Pembrokeshire’s landscapes inspire unique floral touches — think driftwood centrepieces with succulents for a beach wedding, or vintage milk churns filled with foxgloves for a farm-style reception.
