In event planning, the selection and placement of flowers is a crucial element that directly affects the overall atmosphere of the event. The flowers used for the host podium, registration desk, VIP lounge, and buffet area each differ; similarly, the floral style varies across press conferences, celebrations, and evening parties. So why do event planning companies arrange flowers in this way? What are the considerations behind flower selection and placement in event planning?
1. Three principles for selecting flowers in event planning:
1) Choose flowers that align with the theme of the meeting or event, ensuring a consistent style and harmonious color palette.
2) Consider the coordination between flowers, between flowers and greenery, and between flowers and the venue's overall decoration.
3) Opt for seasonal flowers that are fresh and vibrant in color.
2. On-site flower arranging: If a large quantity of flowers is ordered, professional staff can be assigned to arrange them on-site.
3. Flower delivery: Flowers should be delivered by dedicated vehicles and personnel. Upon arrival, they should be placed in designated positions as required and reinforced for stability.
4. On-site maintenance: To keep flowers fresh, mist and replenish water approximately every 40 minutes to extend their longevity.
5. Classification of flower arrangement shapes:
Horizontal: The design emphasizes a horizontally extended shape with a slight rise in the center and elegant curves at both ends. Its main feature is that it can be appreciated from any angle. Suitable for: dining tables, registration desks, and conference tables.
Triangular: Flowers can be arranged in an equilateral, isosceles, or scalene triangle. The shape is simple and stable, evoking a sense of balance, stability, simplicity, and solemnity. Suitable for: podium flowers at celebrations and openings, and gift baskets.
L-shape: Composed of two perpendicular planes, creating an asymmetrical balance. Larger flowers are placed at the corner, while smaller ones extend forward, giving a sense of openness and upward movement. Suitable for: smaller spaces such as VIP rooms.
Fan: A variation of the basic triangular arrangement, radiating from the center to form a fan shape, conveying grandeur, magnificence, peace, and rationality. Suitable for: elevated positions such as podiums.
Inverted T-shape: The overall design forms an inverted T, with the vertical line and horizontal lines in a 2:1 ratio, giving a modern feel. Suitable for: decorating smaller spaces like VIP rooms.
Oval: An elegant and luxurious shape that uses a large number of flowers in a clustered arrangement, with lower requirements for structure and contrast, resulting in a natural, rounded appearance. Suitable for: table flowers at celebrations and table arrangements in larger VIP rooms.
6. Flower selection for different event occasions:
1) For dining tables, registration desks, and conference tables: Emphasize a horizontally extended shape with a slight rise in the center and elegant curves at both ends, appreciated from any angle.
2) For podium flowers and gift baskets at celebrations and openings: Arrange flowers in an equilateral, isosceles, or scalene triangle, with a simple and stable shape that conveys balance, stability, simplicity, and solemnity.
3) For smaller spaces like VIP rooms or distinctive meeting areas, to decorate buffet tables or display areas: Combine two perpendicular planes in an asymmetrical balance, with larger flowers at the corner and smaller ones extending forward, creating a sense of openness and upward movement.
4) For elevated positions like podiums or against walls in meeting areas, and suitable for large events: Use a fan shape radiating from the center, based on a triangular arrangement, conveying grandeur, magnificence, peace, and rationality. The fan can be placed upright or flat.
5) For table flowers at celebrations and table arrangements in larger VIP rooms: Use an elegant and luxurious oval shape with a large number of flowers in a clustered arrangement, with lower requirements for structure and contrast, resulting in a natural, rounded appearance.
