For this post, we’re bringing you the definitive guide to getting the flowers for your marquee event absolutely spot on. We’ve collaborated with Daisy of Daisy Hoban Floral Design, an expert florist who we’ve worked with on countless marquee weddings. Read on for Daisy’s expert advice on why it’s important to choose the right flowers for the scale and style of your event.
Flowers for an intimate marquee wedding or event
For smaller, more intimate marquee celebrations, you may not want your flowers to be giving ‘main character’ energy and instead play a more understated role. You can still achieve floral décor that adds colour, romance, and accent your event even on a smaller scale. Stripped back florals would typically include:
- Smaller arrangements to accent the ceremonial part of the event, for example, a wedding or awards ceremony
- Table flowers for your reception
- Flowers for key people involved, for example, the bridal party if it’s a wedding
Make a statement with floral design for large marquees
Typically for larger weddings and events utilising our bigger spaces such as the 100+ guest marquees, you can make a statement with your flowers, which will play a bigger role. Large scale event flowers would typically include:
- Larger table floral designs
- A large feature installation
- Flowers for your bridal party or guests of honour
Create a truly unforgettable space with canvas and blooms
Perhaps you’re hosting an iconic event or a high-end, luxury marquee wedding. You’ll want your floral designs to play a key role in creating something truly unforgettable. This floral investment would typically include:
- Multiple, larger-scale floral installations
- Larger-scale designs throughout the venue
- Flowers for your bridal party or key contributors
- A full array of guest table displays
Transform the marquee space into a floral wonderland
For incredibly chic events such as an absolute dream wedding or a glossy editorial shoot, you can expect a complete transformation of your marquee. This will typically include:
- A venue transformation with floral designs throughout the space
- Floral arrangements across guest tables
- Luxury ceremony florals and bridal party/guests of honour designs
- Larger-scale designs across the venue
- A team of florists, transport, and bespoke planning to bring the designs to life
Choosing the right floral design team for your marquee celebration
When it comes to exceptional marquee events, having a seamless production makes the biggest difference. Whether you opt for full floral designs that fill the entire space or understated arrangements to adorn your tables, your flowers are a key part of that production. Here are some essential signals of quality and credibility you should expect from your floral design team:
- The flowers themselves: the florals and foliage have been lovingly and sustainably grown
- Design and styling, time, energy, and expertise your florist invests to make your designs everything you wish for
- Carefully planned and executed logistics involved in transporting those delicate floral decorations
- Professional and discreet set-up and de-rig of your floral designs
