This Is How a Luxury Florist Sets Casual vs. Formal Tables
There’s nothing quite like a beautifully set table—and today, we’re learning from a true master. We’re in London with celebrated floral designer Larry Walshe, whose work for celebrities and some of the world’s most unforgettable events has made him a go-to for creating moments that feel both luxurious and deeply personal.
Known for his lush arrangements, vibrant color, and signature sense of drama, Larry has a way of making every setting feel special. Today, he’s welcoming us back into his home to share his approach to the art of the table. Using seasonal flowers, Larry walks us through two distinct tablescapes—one elegant and refined for a formal gathering, and another more relaxed and inviting for everyday entertaining.
Along the way, he shares his favorite tips for layering, mixing, and creating a table that feels thoughtful, beautiful, and completely at ease. Because for Larry, it’s not just about how a table looks—it’s about how it makes people feel.
