THE DECORATIONS

Floral decoration of Stiftsgården
All the floral decorations at Stiftsgården are based on the design manual for the wedding, which has been developed by Slottsgartneriet and Kreativ Flora in cooperation with The Queen and Princess Märtha Louise.

The main flower used to decorate Stiftsgården is a white Easter lily known as the Märtha lily. All the decorations in the rooms, around the windows and in connection with the wedding banquet are inspired by the shape of the lily.

Slottsgartneriet is responsible for planning and carrying out the decoration of Stiftsgården.

The round dinner tables are decorated with upright lily-shaped structures made of weeping birch.

The lily-shaped structures are filled with the season's flowers and scents - lilies-of-the-valley, lady's mantle, birch, peonies, roses and stephanotis, with the Märtha lily in evidence.

The façade of Stiftsgården has been decorated by the cathedral's decorator Ole Erik Melum in cooperation with Slottsgartneriet.

Decorations in Nidaros Cathedral
The main flower used in the decorations in Nidaros Cathedral is a white Easter lily called the Märtha lily.

The cathedral has been decorated with 760 sprays of Märtha lilies. Yellow and cream lilies, pale roses, marguerites, lilies-of-the-valley and greenery are also being used.

Fresh branches of juniper, hazel and willow have been arranged on bases of dried birch.

The flowers are concentrated in groups varying from 20 cm to 6 m in height.

Ole-Erik Melum and Drivstua Gartneri are responsible for the floral arrangements in the cathedral.
