Event florals that make
a room look finished
Event florals for dinners, launches and fundraisers across the Waitaki: table pieces, entry arrangements and installs, quoted properly and set up by us.
Florals that do event work
Event flowers have a job: pull the room together, survive five hours of people knocking them, and look right in the background of every photo. That is a different discipline to a gift bouquet: scale, mechanics and timing matter as much as the stems themselves.
Mags runs the event side: ex-set designer, which shows. She plans installs like productions: load-in order, focal lines, what the camera sees. Then Dave's van delivers and the two of them build it on site while you deal with the other forty things.
Event service includes
- Site visit and plan before quoting
- Load-in, setup and strike-down
- Vessel hire included in most quotes
- Wet-weather / wind contingencies for outdoors

How an event comes together
Production thinking, florist hands.
Brief and budget
The event, the venue, the crowd, the look, and the honest number.
Site visit
We walk the room, check light, access and focal lines before quoting.
Plan and quote
Itemised proposal with a floor-plan of placements, revise it as needed.
Build week
Mechanics and vessels prepped at the studio, stems conditioned day-of.
Install and strike
We load in, build, leave before guests arrive, and collect it all after.
Also on the bench
Rooms we have finished
Dinners, launches and one fundraiser that nearly broke the van.
Mags runs the installs
Event work is Mags' home turf: years of set design before flowers means she thinks in sightlines and load-in schedules, not just stem lists. If your install needs to be camera-ready by 17:00, she works backwards from 17:00.
Ren supports on stem choice and palette. Between them the event record is 140 jobs without a late install.
