Floral Tablescapes at RHS Sandringham

Floral Tablescapes elevate the dining experience to indulgent heights. Not judged for RHS Medals but eligible for unique RHS Sandringham Awards for Floristry chosen by Shane Connolly.

Eat Your Greens Created by Carol Peacock

This lush, meadow-inspired arrangement celebrates the beauty, abundance and versatility of edible plants. Sculptural loops of grasses, woven foliage and threaded berries are combined with seasonal vegetables, edible flowers and herbs, creating texture and movement through the display. Inspired by the designer’s passion for both floristry and flower farming, the display explores the connection between floristry, food and sustainable growing, highlighting how these ingredients can be both beautiful and edible. It encourages people to look beyond traditional flowers and appreciate the beauty found in the kitchen garden, allotment or cutting patch.

Enchanted Garden Woodland Feast Created by Charmaine Taylor

Filled with an abundance of garden roses and other high-summer blooms, this magical tablescape is inspired by an enchanted woodland garden. Visitors encounter whimsical florals, luscious moss, woodland creatures and twinkling lights that reflect the designer’s love of fantasy and storytelling. Nestled within the exhibit, miniature forest animals crafted from moss add to the nature-filled setting, giving it both a wild and carefully composed atmosphere. The result is a fairy-tale garden scene that transports visitors into a world of enchantment and wonder.

Take a Seat in the Meadow Created by Danial Spillane’s Floral Art

Sponsored by Courts of Rayleigh Florist

Sit beneath the graceful branches of a striking willow tree and enjoy a unique dining experience. The scene is set for four friends enjoying the peaceful setting of the Yorkshire moors. Gentle aromas of fresh flowers fill the air, tactile wood invites touch and glassware sparkles in the light. Adorned with a centrepiece of meadow-style flowers, every element on the table is chosen to offer a delightful and immersive experience. The aim is to emphasise the importance of protecting our wildflower meadows and the wildlife that lives within them, and to experience the magic of the landscape.

Blooming Space Created by Violeta Burgess

Three spiky spherical features are positioned along the centre of this contemporary table arrangement. Each sphere is beautifully decorated with delicate flowers in soft lilac and yellow tones, creating a fresh and elegant harmony throughout the installation. The radial structure adds texture, movement and visual interest, while trailing floral elements soften the design. Candles placed between the spheres provide a warm and romantic glow, enhancing the atmosphere with a sense of relaxation, intimacy and elegance. The overall composition creates a sophisticated focal point, ideal for weddings and special events.

Wild Abundance Created by Jill Winton

Wild Abundance captures the feeling of gathering and discovery on a woodland walk, celebrating the connection between nature, seasonality and the table. Light and rustic, the exhibit is inspired by the Peak District and reflects the designer’s appreciation of the quiet beauty and generosity of the landscape. At its centre, a suspended cage of twisted hazel rises from a base of bark, moss and ferns, supporting a network of edible flowers, foliage and fungi. Roses, nasturtiums, dill, raspberries and oyster mushrooms appear to grow through the structure, creating a sense of movement and reinforcing the idea of a foraged feast.

Nocturne Orchard Created by Jashan Kaur Johal

A traditional harvest feast is reinterpreted through the atmospheric lens of chiaroscuro. Set on a black table, the design is anchored by a richly layered ‘orchard floor’ of moss, branches and seasonal blooms in deep tones. Figs and blackberry vines are woven among the flowers. The careful interplay of matte and reflective surfaces allows the installation to evolve visually as light shifts. Both sculptural and sensory, Nocturne Orchard challenges seasonal expectations, presenting a summer harvest through shadow and tonal restraint rather than brightness and volume.
