Goodwood House ballroom with white and green floral wedding design by Paula Rooney

Paula Rooney’s White-and-Green Floral Design at Goodwood House

A summer wedding at Goodwood House in West Sussex set Paula Rooney Floral Design’s white-and-green palette against an extraordinary Regency backdrop. Working with the wedding planner Susannah of Couture Events, the studio conceived flowers to connect the outdoor ceremony with the heritage interiors of the reception.

A ceremony that responds to its setting

At the outdoor ceremony, pale flowers and lively green foliage provided a softer counterpoint to the estate’s architecture. The floral scheme was designed to complement the venue rather than overshadow it, giving the setting an organic, restrained character without losing the sense of occasion.

A floral focal point in the entrance hall

The entrance hall featured a wedding-cake presentation framed by a statement installation of white flowers. It created a meaningful transition from ceremony to celebration while allowing the mansion’s interior details to remain part of the visual composition.

Reception flowers for a historic ballroom

The reception rooms invited a richer expression of the same white-and-green scheme. Elegant floral arrangements were composed alongside tablescapes, glassware and the ornate details of the historic house, connecting the different environments with a coherent visual identity.
