As a wedding supplier working across the UK, we have the privilege of experiencing some of the country’s most exceptional venues. While each has its charm, every so often, we come across a place that feels truly magical—The Old Vicarage in Southwell is one such venue.
Arriving via the sweeping gravel drive, you’re greeted by a beautifully restored Victorian country house, now transformed into a luxurious wedding and event space. It exudes the charm of a boutique retreat, blending historic character with modern sophistication. Inside, the atmosphere is one of tranquil luxury and understated elegance, with neutral interiors that seamlessly combine classic details like paneling, wood floors, and delicate chandeliers with contemporary statement pieces, airy drapery, and stunning fireplaces.
For couples, The Old Vicarage offers an unparalleled sense of exclusivity and privacy. With eight opulent bedrooms, including a showstopping bridal suite, it becomes your own “home away from home,” complete with spaces for dining, relaxing, and celebrating. The venue manages to feel intimate yet special, luxurious yet welcoming, and effortlessly beautiful without feeling overdone.
As a floral design studio, we’re always inspired by the natural light and elegant minimalism of the venue’s event space. With its vaulted ceilings, grand windows, and soft drapery, the room invites calmness and softness. We recommend floral designs that highlight its refined beauty—muted tones, thoughtful textures, and sculptural arrangements that enhance rather than overshadow the space.
At The Old Vicarage, timeless sophistication is at the heart of every detail, making it a perfect choice for couples seeking something modern yet enduring. We approach our floral designs in the same way, crafting arrangements that feel organic, unique, and forever elegant—perfectly complementing the magic of this extraordinary venue.
