A behind the scenes peep at the making of an industry event to launch the beautifully refurbished Orangery at Kensington Palace for Historic Royal Palaces. It's a big ask to create something fresh and exciting for an audience of industry veterans, but our team of talented fellow suppliers Wise Productions, Options Greathire Ltd, Rhubarb Hospitality Collection, Sternberg Clarke Entertainment and Ruth Kaye Design did just that. A floral tablescape, custom orange tree bar centrepiece and planted entrance installation were designed and installed by our wonderful creative and floristry teams. Thank you for having us Kensington Palace, it was such an honour. #behindthescenes #eventinspiration #eventdesign #floraldesign #eventstyling #luxuryevents #eventflorist #luxuryflorist

We love these images by Zeal Photography capturing that beautiful pause just after a whirlwind event set up and in that brief moment of still before the guests pour in to dinner. A reminder perhaps to all of us to take a second to look at what we're able to achieve together in a short amount of time! This was a gorgeous wedding, planned and designed by chenai bukutu with her team at ByChenai Events. It glowed from within and transformed the whole feel of the space.

From the black and white striped carpet of the premiere in Leicester Square then across town to the afterparty - it's been a busy and very creative week for our team! Pictured here is just one element we produced for this fabulous series of events - the biggest bar centerpiece in all the fun colours of the film!

Earlier this year we had the huge creative privilege of playing our small part in the production of Sabato De Sarnos' Gucci Cruise 2024 at the Tate Modern. This world stage fashion show at this iconic London venue was executed by BUREAU BETAK and the inimitable INCA Productions - a company who inspire us each time we work with them. Our scope was to immerse the ceiling and doorways in the Tate Modern's Tanks with a tapestry of sprawling vines and foliage designed to merge seamlessly with Cargill Sykes (Duncan Cargill & Tom Sykes) beautiful landscape and planting design. Jamie Butterworth's Form Plants and talented planting team brought the plans to life with the supply and installation of verdent and nuanced collection of pioneer species of trees, shrubs and grasses. We had another lovely reminder of the project this week when Gardensillustrated featured the show in this article on gardens and horticulture in fashion. https://lnkd.in/e5jJ9n-A

There really is nowhere quite like Frameless. Every event we've taken care of at this fabulous venue has been so different and so, so beautiful. Here we created a canalside dining experience with a weathered, windswept twist. Recent clients we've styled flowers for here include financial services, beauty brands and charities - testament to how versatile the space is.

A sensational brand event for Bvlgari at the majestic Syon House Conservatory where guests were transported to the sunkissed Mediteranean to sample the new Allegra Chill & Sole Eau de Parfum during a lavish drinks reception and dinner. We echoed notes of the scent with citrus trees and bougainvillea - evocative of a radiant setting by the sea, with our flowers throughout the venue closely colour matched to the gorgeous glass bottles.

This spectacular weather has got us thinking about how much we hope for the sun (just enough - not too much!) for outdoor events and wedding days. Thankfully so many of our favourite venues have beautiful outdoor spaces but equally lovely ‘plan b’s’. We were all set for grey skies on this wedding day at Chiswick House but were blessed with the perfect weather for dining outside.

We design for TV and film premieres often, but this was something altogether different for our studio! For the release of Sky TVs Mary & George we were commissioned to design and create a majestic floral swan to watch over the afterparty from a gilt pedestal in the centre of a huge circular bar. The setting was the glittering ballroom at Raffles London at The OWO which was also filled with gilt urns filled with flowers and food stations festooned with candleabra and roses - more on that to follow soon! Working with metal artist Julian Carter we meticulously studied the anatomy of these beautiful regal birds to fabricate a steel swan with a wingspan of 3 metres which we then covered fully in an intricate tapestry of leaves, grasses and layers of pure white fresh flowers. The detail that went into this design was incredible, with every single fragile element carefully placed. An absolute treat of a commission for our team!

Deeply saturated purples and aquatic blues combined to dress a brand event with edge at one of the newest additions to our Accredited Supplier slate - The National Gallery. We love this venue - a hive of creativity that inspires and humbles us every time we walk through the door. Alongside creative agency Wonderland Agency, we chose flowers that packed a punch for our designs - focussing on puffs of hydrangea with glossy anthuriums and velvety celosia. Guests were welcomed at the entrance with flowers cascading down the steps, before a stylish drinks reception and dramatic dinner served by Rocket Food . We love events like these with all the intricate detail and layers of creativity involved in making everything ‘just so’ - and are lucky enough to have worked with some of the world’s most iconic luxury brands. An unforgettable evening for all of us involved.
