Visual Direction
Timeless garden romance
A classic, romantic celebration that suits Lanzerac’s grand manor and oak-lined gardens. We’re working with full, traditional arrangements — garden roses, ranunculus and peonies in ivory, blush and soft apricot, grounded with olive and trailing greenery. The look is elegant and a little old-world: generous urns at the ceremony, lush tables, and candlelight throughout, so the flowers feel as though they belong to the estate itself.
