The Temple on The Lake

More info about The Temple

The Temple is only accessible by boat and sits splendidly on her island in the lake watched over by the magnificent West Wycombe Park. The Temple was built in the 1770s to celebrate music, and whilst you can easily imagine Apollo or Orpheus merrily entertaining their audience, you would be sure to find Bacchus amongst them offering his seasonal bounty to the guests.

Tattie Rose Flowers

Tattie Isles and her team work with some of Britain’s leading event companies to provide flowers all over the country and abroad. Her wild yet sophisticated and refined style and approach to flowers has drawn in commissions from Princes and Princesses, pop stars, celebrities and artists across the country and beyond. She and her team transform spaces and create an atmosphere with their creations, hunting for the bounty of the day and season to make their botanical tapestries. Carrying out their work and designs with integrity and passion they aim to reconnect their audience with nature and the land. The Temple will be transformed for each event by Tattie and her team. They will embrace the day and the flowers will be an adventure. From dancing snakes head fritillary in April to the pink jewels of spindleberry in October- no two events will be the same. Everything from candlelight, linen, glassware and napkins will be curated to create a table scape and setting relevant for the guests that day at The Temple.
