Simon Lycett’s Enchanted Forest Wedding Florals at Battersea Arts Centre
An enchanted-forest-inspired Jewish wedding at London’s Battersea Arts Centre, with exuberant floral arrangements by Simon Lycett, photographed by Blake Ezra.
A wedding reception that brought the forest indoors
For Taryn and Louis’s Jewish wedding at London’s Battersea Arts Centre, florist Simon Lycett created a floral environment with the atmospheric richness of an enchanted woodland. The decoration embraced the venue’s scale, bringing vivid colours, lush arrangements and theatrical touches to an otherwise architectural interior. Wedding planning was by ZEV Events, while Blake Ezra photographed the occasion.
Floral structure and colour as storytelling
The entrance arrangements mixed varying heights, generous greenery and lively pink, lilac and green blooms. Large floral forms made the transition from the exterior to the celebration feel like a passage into a new setting. Indoors, the flowers were interwoven with an expressive lighting palette, framing the wider reception without losing their natural textures.
An exuberant banqueting landscape
The reception tables used flower arrangements with a loose, garden-inspired feel, allowing the compositions to animate the long lines of the room. Deep purple and warm light gave the settings a festive theatrical quality. Colourful blooms, foliage and carefully placed arrangements supplied a softer, more organic counterpart to the event’s architectural structure.
The small gestures that define a room
Individual table details reflected the larger mood. Floral groupings, glass vases and thoughtful place settings linked the reception’s vivid colour story to the guests’ experience at the table. Together they offered a sense of visual continuity while keeping each corner of the celebration distinctive.
