Hi! I’m Lydia and my amazing team and I style weddings and events in and around the beautiful spa town of Harrogate right across to the historic City of York and surrounding towns and villages. With some of the UK’s most stunning wedding and event spaces found in North Yorkshire, we can help you transform your venue or simply compliment the aesthetics by providing styling, floristry, signage and prop hire that’s both creative and atmospheric. We also work on corporate brand events offering commercial styling to suit your design brief and have had the pleasure of working with a number of amazing clients such as Astrid & Miyu and Lights4Fun previously.

We offer free design consultations to discuss all your styling needs and we’ll then welcome you to our newly renovated Style Lounge in Tockwith for your final details meeting 🙂

Ambience Venue Styling has had the pleasure of working with thousands of clients each with their own specific requirements, some have even come to us without really knowing what they want, however with our knowledge and experience we are able to guide you and eliminate the stress that planning your styling can cause.

On the day of your wedding, we’ll deliver the stock and/or floristry, style your venue and then return the following day to collect everything – leaving you to enjoy every minute of your wedding day.

We’re proud to be recommended by lots of incredible venues within the area including Rudding Park, Oakwood at Ryther, Bunny Hill, The Normans, Thicket Priory, Thirsk Lodge Barns, Burtonfields Hall, the five star Grand Hotel and Spa in York and the five star Grantley Hall just outside of Ripon. We’ve also recently achieved recommended supplier status at Pepper Arden Hall and Camblesforth Hall too. We pride ourselves on delivering an all-round professional, creative and enjoyable experience and live for those unforgettable moments when our clients see their styling, floristry and signage for the first time!

 We work on an appointment only basis so as to ensure that each of our clients receives a personal one to one service. We can arrange an initial phone call to discuss your styling in more detail and really help you visualise your styling. Likewise, if you know exactly what you want, just lead the way!
 
Once we’ve got a strong understanding of the vision you’re aiming to achieve, we’ll build you a bespoke quote and then it won’t be long before you’re well and truly on your style journey!

 We can help you style out the most amazing wedding ceremony and wedding reception design with our vast product range – Chair decor, aisle decor, aisle runner, lanterns, registrar table décor, entrance décor, backdrops, wedding arches, moongates, centrepiece designs, table decor, luxury charger plates, table linen, tablescapes, personalised signage, seating plans, place names, table numbers, audio guest books, champagne towers and much more! We can also offer venue floristry to completely transform your space whether it’s a bowl arrangement, bud vases or a floral focal point. Our super talented floristry lead, Imogen, will work her magic for you.

 The weddings and events industry is fast paced which means it’s vital we keep on top of trends. Our stock collections are constantly changing and being added to. We regularly showcase our new season looks and products at venue inspiration days throughout the year so make sure you check out our showcases section to see where you can find us next!

North Yorkshire

Lydia and Imogen (Ambience North Yorkshire) were absolutely fantastic from the moment I initially enquired to the day of my wedding. Communication with Lydia was absolutely second to none, anything I was concerned about was addressed immediately and each one of my crazy ideas was met with enthusiasm and imagination so wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble. My wedding day was absolutely magical, Lydia and Imogen completely brought the ideas in my head to life, better than I ever expected! Beautiful pumpkins, candles, everything you could imagine to produce the most beautiful autumnal scene. I would highly recommend Lydia and Imogen to anyone planning a wedding or event that needs to look fabulous, these girls will exceed all your expectations! Thank you again Lydia😊

Ripley Castle – November 2024

lydia did an amazing job

Lydia styled our day at Thirsk Lodge Barns 20/05/24 and she did an amazing job!

From our very first E-Mail and then chat over the phone, I knew I could trust her to get on with everything! We were invited to the showroom for a meeting to run through and confirm final details which I would recommend every couple to do as this gives you more of an idea of how thinks will look/work!

Lydia was so attentive, friendly and approachable. She made it seem like nothing was ever a problem and she did her upmost best to ensure our day was styled perfectly!

Lydia did a fantastic job at styling our day and had so many different ideas that we would never have thought about! It was everything we could have imagined and more!

Thank you so much for your hard work! I HIGHLY recommend this team!

transforming dreams into reality

Lydia styled our wedding at Rudding Park in April 2024 and wow did she deliver.
From first contacting Lydia she felt more like a friend, we honestly felt like we had known her for years. She was so welcoming, friendly and you can feel the passion she has for styling, not to mention that she literally has the purest heart.

Lydia listened to us every single step of our wedding journey, she brought our Pinterest board to life but made it 10x better. We wanted elegance and class with a touch of blush pink and candle light – and wow oh wow, our wedding looked like something out of a magazine, it was SO dreamy and all our guests were in complete awe. We couldn’t believe the room we were standing in was created for us and that it was our wedding, it felt like a dream. The attention to detail was outstanding, everything was perfectly placed together and the whole room looked and felt so elegant.

Lydia – you are simply the BEST, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for styling our big day so beautifully and making it look like an absolute dream, we cannot recommend you enough!

made our wedding day truly magical

I cannot recommend Lydia and the team at Ambience enough. They made our wedding day truly magical. From our first meeting over the phone, to meeting in person, to the day, Lydia was amazing! They truly got my vision and made the venue look beautiful. They were always just an email away and replied quickly to any of my bridal questions. On the day, they did everything and were unseen. FANTASTIC! I wish they could decorate every event I do. Thank you for turning my Pinterest board and vision into perfection on the day

Libby & James – Hotel Du Vin, York – January 2024

impeccable wedding styling

Lydia gave us the confidence and assurance that she would be one of our most trusted suppliers and would provide an amazing service delivery. We were not wrong!

Lydia went above and beyond in giving us clarity – even when we were a good time period away from the wedding (and she had other clients to manage). This, to us, sets her (and Ambience) apart from many. Her communication skills expressed enthusiasm while always being attentive to the finer details we may miss.

And what can we say about the day? The styling was immaculate and just what we had imagined. It was perfect. We received many complements from our guests about the appearance of the wedding. We could not speak more highly of Ambience and we absolutely recommend approaching Lydia and her team if you are searching for a wedding venue styling team in the future! Thank you, Lydia and team, for making our day unforgettable!

Richard & Georgia – Woodhall Hotel – October 2023

the amazing ambience team!


First impressions are key, and right away, Lydia gave us the confidence and assurance that she would be one of our most trusted suppliers and would provide an amazing service delivery. We were not wrong! We had a few calls and e-mail exchanges with Lydia and no question was ever a silly one. She went above and beyond in giving us clarity – even when we were a good time period away from the wedding (and she had other clients to manage). This, to us, sets her (and Ambience) apart from many. Her communication skills expressed enthusiasm while always being attentive to the finer details we may miss. This included inviting us to the Ambience warehouse to talk us through the day and build further confidence among us that we were working with the right people. And what can we say about the day? The styling was immaculate and just what we had imagined. It was perfect! We could not speak more highly of Ambience and we absolutely recommend approaching Lydia and her team if you are searching for a wedding venue styling team in the future! Thank you, Lydia and team, for making our day unforgettable!

A feeling I will remember for the rest of my life!


We chose Ambience to style our wedding on 01.07.23. Something that stood out to us over other local stylists was the amount of choice they had. Lydia from the North Yorkshire branch was so helpful at our meeting, listening to our vision, offering a wide range of options and wasn’t in any way pushy or focused on upselling which was such a positive for us. On the day to say we were blown away is an understatement. The wedding breakfast room looked incredible with what we had hired. Not only this but something that stood out was how well Ambience had worked with our other suppliers, particularly our florist who provided some other elements of styling. I cannot thank you enough, Lydia. The feeling of walking into the breakfast room and seeing everything styled so well together is a feeling I will remember for the rest of my life.

Emily & Josh – Saltmarshe Hall – July 2023

where to even start.. absolutely incredible


Where to even start… Our wedding day was absolutely made by Lydia and the amazing team behind Ambience. Imagine planning your wedding day your whole life and wondering how it will look on the day, it’s quite a difficult thing to picture how the individual elements you have chosen will come together, but all that comes to mind when we saw our venue styling is the word ‘breathtaking’. Somehow Lydia was able to take everything we imagined and elevate it to a level we never thought possible. We will never forget the moment we walked into our wedding breakfast room and saw what Lydia and the team had created, we were absolutely blown away, our dreams were brought to life. We’ll never be able to thank Lydia and the team enough and we would recommend them to anyone. Thank you to Ambience for helping to make our day more special than we could have ever dreamed. Lots of love, Leanne and Sam

Leanne & Sam – Rudding Park – April 2023

lydia is an absolute creative genius!


Lydia at Ambience North Yorkshire is an absolute creative genius! Absolutely nothing was too much trouble at all in the lead up to our event and on the day both Lydia and Imogen delivered the most beautiful set up for our exhibition. I went to Lydia with a vague vision as to what I wanted and she came back to me with more than I could have ever imagined. She is so creative and came up with a plan to impressively dress 2 of our exhibition spaces that really had the wow factor. I got asked repeatedly throughout our show, who had created our stand as it was so striking! We were also highlighted in amongst 300+ suppliers as one of the best dressed stands – thanks to Lydia and her team. I would recommend Lydia in a heartbeat and have already booked her for every event I do.
