“But when we have to flex and do something last minute and make a flip, and hey, we had to change our entrance to the tent because of weather, and now we’re gonna be here.” – Liza
When it comes to event planning, the power of greenery in transforming a space cannot be overstated. In our latest podcast episode, we delve into the intricate world of floral and greenery installations, providing listeners with an insightful guide on how to take an ordinary space and turn it into a botanical banquet.
The journey begins with the logistics and expenses of incorporating greenery into your event. We examine the dreaded ‘sad hula hoop’ phenomenon in event design and stress the importance of going big or forgoing the idea entirely. The conversation covers the types of tents suited for different installations and the best timing for setting up these decorative elements. We share anecdotes and advice for those looking to include grand green chandeliers or other statement pieces, providing practical tips on how to achieve their vision within budget constraints.

We emphasize the importance of preparation and structural integrity, along with the aesthetic beauty of both live and dried floral elements.
Seasonality is a key factor in the selection of greenery and flowers for events. We discuss how the choice of plants should be appropriate for the time of year and resilient enough to withstand varying conditions. Creative installations, such as wire plates adorned with color-coordinated ribbons and flowers, are considered, as well as the potential of using materials like wet moss for lighter arrangements. The unique and lasting impact these designs can have on an event’s atmosphere is highlighted, showing the artistic potential of structural floral installations.
The episode wraps up with an invitation for listeners to engage more directly, encouraging them to reach out via various communication methods to share their own experiences or seek advice for upcoming events.
