Petersham Nurseries Richmond offers a verdant backdrop for a wedding: Beneath canopies of bougainvillaea, jasmine and tumbling vines, greenhouse ceremonies and garden receptions awaken the senses to scent, texture and light. Every wedding is curated with care, drawing on the expertise of a singular team. Unsurprisingly, Petersham’s in-house florists are unrivalled; they work closely with couples to create bespoke designs, from table arrangements to bridal bouquets, often incorporating British blooms, foliage, and fragrant herbs grown in the nursery’s own cutting garden. Working in tandem, the pastry team craft indulgent, floral-adorned wedding cakes, while Michelin Green chefs populate the vine-clad restaurant, which is celebrated for its Italian-inspired seasonal menus, itself supplied by Petersham garden produce. Sommeliers are on hand to pair wines, and Petersham’s integrated registry service offers couples the chance to seamlessly weave its memorable treasures into proceedings. Each space is particularly lovely against the soft hue of candlelight, but there is a choice of larger spaces, such as the main Glasshouse, or more intimate settings, like the Garden Greenhouse and the Kitchen Garden Room, which overlooks the nursery gardens. All of this, otherworldly green, conveniently located in Richmond with tube and train access.
Our day was more magical than we could have ever imagined. The food was exquisite, your front of house team charming, and the setting was just stunning. Everyone told us it would be the best day of our lives, and they weren’t wrong! You all had such an enormous part to play in that, and we’ll never forget it.

From the moment we arrived we were wined and dined to a spectacular level. The setting we were expecting to be beautiful, but it was far more than that. It was truly magical, I felt like I had arrived in a fairy woodland and my inner child got very excited.
