Imagine stepping into a world where nature and romance combine to create sheer magic. That was the experience for Nikki and Dan's summer wedding at Runa Farm, inspired by the enchanting elements of The Lord of the Rings. From stunning floral arrangements to thoughtful venue styling, every detail was crafted to immerse their guests in a fairytale-like atmosphere.

Creating a Magical Atmosphere

Runa Farm, located in the beautiful Darlington countryside, set the perfect scene for an elven-themed celebration. The charming setting and the couple's artistic vision transformed the venue into a dreamy experience reminiscent of a delicate fairy tale.

Guests were welcomed by a breathtaking staircase installation, lavishly adorned with floral mini-meadows. This dramatic entrance was not just eye-catching but also set the tone for the overall styling of the day, creating an unforgettable first impression.

Exquisite Tablescapes with Luxurious Touches

Each guest table was thoughtfully dressed with luxury gauze runners that flowed gracefully. Mini installations of moss, echeveria, and ivy created focal points that drew eyes toward every detail. Bud vases of crisp white flower material offered a lush contrast, while trailing soft Ruscus and fairy lights finished the scene.

Once the ceremony was over, the staircase installation was repurposed as mini-meadows at floor level in front of the Sweetheart Table, and at the ends of the guest tables. This added a touch of luxurious drama while making Nikki and Dan's floral budget go that little bit further.

Whimsical Floral Arrangements

The floral designs were undeniably a highlight of the wedding day. Nikki's bouquet, characterized by flowing ivy and crisp white flowers, perfectly captured the elven essence. This arrangement included soft filler material and an abundance of mixed foliage and ferns, alongside pops of larger statement florals.

Nikki's bridesmaids carried lush bundles of mixed foliage and filler flower, for a loose, romantic look, while allowing Nikki's own bouquet to remain the showstopper.
