A Luxury All-White Wedding at Peckforton Castle — Jessica & Marc

Some venues demand a certain level of styling. Peckforton Castle is one of them.
When Jessica and Marc asked us to dress their wedding at this extraordinary 19th-century castle in the heart of Cheshire, we knew we had to create something truly special — something that honoured the grandeur and romance of the setting while feeling completely and utterly theirs.
What followed was one of the most breathtaking all-white wedding transformations we have ever created. This is their story.
The Setting — Peckforton Castle, Cheshire
There is simply nowhere else quite like Peckforton Castle. Rising from the Cheshire plains like something from a fairytale, this magnificent Victorian Gothic castle offers one of the most dramatic and romantic wedding backdrops in the entire country.
Its soaring stone walls, vaulted ceilings, grand balconies and sweeping staircases create a canvas that rewards the most considered and crafted styling approach — and an all-white palette was the perfect choice to let the architecture breathe while still delivering that sense of pure luxury Jessica and Marc were dreaming of.
RG Events & Floral have worked at Peckforton Castle on numerous occasions and know the venue intimately — from the light in the Grand Hall to the acoustics of the ceremony space. That knowledge meant we could design a scheme that worked in perfect harmony with the castle's extraordinary character.
The Ceremony — White Aisle Carpet, Projection Monogram & Fairy Lights
Jessica and Marc's ceremony was held in the castle's breathtaking ceremony space — and we dressed it to match the grandeur of the surroundings.
A pristine white aisle carpet ran the full length of the ceremony room, framed on both sides by our white chiffon chair dressing on elegant acrylic chiavari chairs. The transparency of the acrylic chairs created a beautiful lightness that complemented the all-white palette perfectly — almost disappearing into the space while still adding structure and elegance to the room.
Above the aisle, fairy lights cascaded from the castle's ancient balcony, filling the upper reaches of the room with a warm, magical glow that played against the stone walls in the most extraordinary way. The effect as guests looked up was genuinely breathtaking.
One of our most talked-about touches was the projection monogram — Jessica and Marc's initials projected beautifully onto the castle's stone wall throughout the ceremony. Against the ancient stonework, it was a perfect marriage of heritage and modernity, and it created a focal point that had every guest reaching for their phone.

The Grand Hall Entrance — Custom Doorway Floral Arch
Before guests even entered the reception space, we wanted to create a moment — something that would signal immediately that this was going to be a wedding unlike any other.
For the Grand Hall entrance, we designed and built a completely bespoke white floral arch to frame the doorway. Crafted entirely from lush white blooms and foliage, the arch transformed the castle's ancient stone doorway into a floral gateway that set the tone for everything that followed.
Every bloom was hand-picked and hand-crafted in our studio specifically for this installation. No two floral arches we create are ever the same, and Jessica and Marc's doorway arch was one of the most spectacular we have built to date.
The Reception — Luxury White Floral Bombs & Uplit Floral Arch
Walking into the reception room, guests were greeted by a room that felt like something from the pages of a luxury wedding magazine.
The centrepieces were large, full white floral bombs — hand-crafted clouds of white roses, white hydrangeas and white gypsophila — mounted on tall glass vases that caught the candlelight and reflected it beautifully across the tables. The scale of each arrangement was deliberately generous, designed to complement the proportions of Peckforton Castle's impressive reception rooms without being overwhelmed by them.
Candles were placed throughout the room — on tables, in alcoves, along ledges — creating a warmth and intimacy that balanced the grandeur of the castle setting perfectly. In a space this dramatic, candles are essential to bringing the human scale back into the room.
The focal point of the entire reception was our uplit luxury white floral arch — positioned at the head of the room and illuminated from below with warm uplighting that made every petal glow. Against the castle's stone walls, it was simply magnificent. Every guest who entered the room immediately stopped to take it in.

The Top Table — Full White Floral Runner
For the top table, we created a full white floral runner that ran the entire length of the table — a lush, flowing arrangement of white blooms and greenery that sat low on the table and created a beautiful garden effect at the heart of the room.
Floral runners are one of our signature top table treatments and they never fail to create a stunning impression. For Jessica and Marc's all-white wedding, the runner was crafted entirely in white — white roses, white ranunculus, white hydrangea and trails of eucalyptus — creating something that felt simultaneously abundant and elegant.
Combined with the crystal glassware, white linens and candlelight, the top table looked like nothing short of perfection.
The Evening — White LED Starlit Dance Floor
As the evening celebrations began, the room transformed once more — and the white LED starlit dance floor took centre stage.
The twinkling floor added a magical quality to the evening atmosphere, its starlit surface reflecting the candlelight and the fairy lights above in a way that made the whole space feel truly enchanted. In a castle setting that is already atmospheric and dramatic, the LED dance floor added an element of modern glamour that perfectly balanced the heritage of the venue.
Jessica and Marc's first dance on that floor, surrounded by their family and friends, in a castle dressed from floor to ceiling in white blooms — is an image none of their guests will ever forget.
A Wedding Day That Exceeded Every Expectation
From the fairy lights on the balcony to the last floral on the runner, Jessica and Marc's wedding at Peckforton Castle was a complete and total triumph.
Every element we designed was crafted to honour both the magnificence of the castle and the vision of this couple — and seeing it all come together on the day was one of those moments that reminds us exactly why we love what we do.
Jessica and Marc — it was the greatest privilege to style your wedding day at Peckforton Castle. Thank you for trusting us with something so important, and for giving us the creative freedom to make it everything it was. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness.
