Spectacular floral arrangements and venue decorations that will bring your wedding vision to glorious life.

Creative floristry & exquisite styling from one of the South West’s most trusted floral and wedding stylists.

Elevating your wedding day through stunning floral & venue styling

I’m Lara, a floral and wedding stylist. My passion is creating breathtaking, luxurious floral arrangements that beautifully capture the vision you have for your wedding. 

Weaving together the beauty of flowers and perfectly curated decorations and props, I’ll create a stunning backdrop for your wedding – one that you and your guests won’t be able to stop talking about. 

I work with couples who want to elevate the visuals of their wedding. Who wish for flowers to be a stand-out part of their wedding aesthetic. Who dream of saying their vows under a glorious floral arch, or doing their first dance under a dreamy floral cloud. Who want all the little details to be meticulously planned to create an exquisite final look for their wedding celebration.

Meet Lara Parnell, one of the South West’s most sought-after floral and wedding stylists

With a background in design and project management, I set up Lara Parnell Weddings in 2016. Since then I’ve worked with couples all across Bristol, Bath, the Cotswolds, the South West and the UK. You can find out more about why I have the best job ever here.


During my time as a floral and wedding stylist I’ve had the privilege to work at some amazing venues. Some of my favourites include the gorgeously intimate Tracy Park, Coombe Lodge which is beautiful inside and out, the majestic Grittleton House, and Kingscote Barn – a perfect rustic venue with storybook views.

What I do as a floral and wedding stylist

You might be wondering just what a floral and wedding stylist is…

Simply put, I artfully combine spectacular floral arrangements and carefully curated decor and props, transforming the blank canvas of your wedding venue into the backdrop of your dreams. 

What sets me apart from florists and venue stylists is that I bring together two different but complementary skill sets. Hire me and you get my extensive expertise as a florist combined with a beautiful eye for dressing a room, wrapped up in my perfectionism and meticulous attention to detail. So instead of hiring a florist to create your floral arrangements and a separate wedding stylist to dress your venue on the day, you get both of these roles in one enthusiastic and experienced floral and wedding stylist. (Me!)

I’ll help you discover the flowers and decorations that will bring your cherished ideas to life. We’ll work together to create a bespoke look for your wedding, selecting flowers and decorations that express your personality and style as a couple as well as complementing your venue. 


The pricing was so reasonable. We got a lot more for our money than I thought we’d get. There were so many more flowers than we expected.

Flowers are naturally the biggest part of my styling service. This includes bouquets and buttonholes for the wedding party, plus luxurious floral decorations for your venue such as centrepieces and big focal point installations – think floral clouds, arches, floating chandeliers. These bespoke arrangements will be beautifully complemented by decor such as linen, candlesticks, vases and other props.

On your wedding day, I’ll be there to set up and dress your venue, pulling together the different elements of your wedding’s aesthetic and ensuring they all dovetail perfectly. 

If you dream of flowers being a stand-out part of your wedding day look, and having these effortlessly enhanced with the right props and decorations, I’m here to bring your vision to glorious reality.

Working with Lara Parnell Weddings on your floral and venue decorations

You deserve to have everything the way you want it for your wedding. And I take the responsibility of making your big day look stunning very seriously. 

Hire me as your floral and wedding stylist and I’m team you from day one. My goal is to make you completely happy and to exceed your expectations. I love being such a big part of my couples’ wedding days – and I guarantee I’ll be as excited as you are because I’m so invested in making your day the best it can possibly be. 

Your experience of planning your wedding will be part of the memories you take away from the day. A big part of my mission is to make that experience a good one. The lead-up to your wedding should create memories that – if I have anything to do with them – you’ll cherish for the rest of your lives together.

I have a comprehensive selection of decorations and props, the use of which is included in my fee. So you won’t need to buy your own decorations, helping you to save money and making your wedding that touch more sustainable too. 

I put my heart into creating beautiful weddings for my clients. When I do a room reveal, I know I’ve done my job properly when my couples get tears in their eyes. The first time this happened was early on in my career and it was a truly defining moment – knowing that I’d made someone so happy they were crying tears of joy. And to think it all started with a Pinterest board!

I love Lara! The flowers were amazing. And she completely took the stress out of everything. We’ve had no stress whatsoever.
