The first thirty seconds
Doorways, staircases and reception desks. The piece guests photograph before they have taken their coats off, and the one that sets the register for everything behind it.
Events
The room is the brief.
Entrances, table flowers and installations for launches, private dinners, weddings and press days across London. Designed to the space, built by our own team, cleared the same night.
We are given a room, a date and a feeling. The rest is ours.
What we are asked for
Tables people sit at
Long tables, rounds and place settings, kept low enough to talk across. Candlelight considered from the outset, because most dinners are seen in it.
Suspended and structural
Ceiling work, arches, and pieces built to the architecture. Rigged safely, installed overnight where the venue requires it, removed without trace.
Built to be photographed
Backdrops, product plinths and step-and-repeat florals, designed for the camera first — colour, depth and scale that hold up in a photograph.
How an event runs
Four stages, and we hold all of them.
I
The visit
We see the room, measure it, and speak to the venue. Most decisions are made standing in the space.
II
The proposal
Concept, palette, quantities and costs, with references. Two working days for most events.
III
The build
Our own team installs, on the day or overnight, to the venue’s access times.
IV
The clear
Removed the same night or the following morning. The room is left as we found it.
What shapes the cost
- The scale of the room and the height of the work
- Flower choice and what the season allows
- Access and install window — overnight builds cost more
- Hire pieces: vessels, plinths, structures
- Whether the event is one evening or several days
- Distance, parking and loading at the venue
Practicalities
- Venue documentation provided on request
- Six weeks’ notice preferred for large installations
- Shorter lead times considered, subject to availability
- Overnight and early-morning installs by arrangement
- One named contact from first call to final clear
- Accounts and invoicing for repeat corporate clients
