Flower Arrangement and Selection in Event Planning

In event planning, the selection and placement of flowers are crucial to the overall effect of the event. Flowers for the emcee podium, registration desk, VIP lounge, and buffet area differ; likewise, the style of flowers varies for product launches, celebrations, and evening parties. So why do event planning companies arrange flowers this way? What are the considerations for flower selection and placement in event planning?

1. Three principles for flower selection by event planning companies:

1) Choose flowers that match the theme of the meeting or event, ensuring style consistency and color coordination.

2) Consider the coordination between flowers, between flowers and greenery, and between flowers and venue decorations.

3) Select seasonal flowers that are fresh and vibrant in color.

2. On-site flower arrangement: 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 vehicle and personnel, placed at designated spots upon arrival, and reinforced for stability.

4. On-site maintenance: To keep flowers fresh, spray and replenish water every 40 minutes or so to extend their lifespan.

5. Classification of flower arrangement shapes:

Horizontal: The design emphasizes horizontal extension 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.

Triangle: Flowers can be arranged in equilateral, isosceles, or scalene triangles. The shape is simple and stable, giving a sense of balance, stability, simplicity, and solemnity. Suitable for: podium flowers at celebrations and openings, gift baskets, etc.

L-shape: Composed of two perpendicular planes, unbalanced left and right, with large flowers at the corner and small flowers extending forward, giving a sense of openness and upwardness. Suitable for: smaller spaces like VIP rooms.

Fan: A variation of the basic triangle arrangement, radiating from the center to form a fan shape, conveying grandeur, magnificence, peace, and rationality. Suitable for: placing on podiums or other high positions.

Inverted T-shape: The design focuses on an inverted T composition with a 2:1 ratio of vertical line to horizontal lines, giving a modern feel. Suitable for: decorating smaller spaces like VIP rooms.

Oval: An elegant and luxurious shape using a large number of flowers in a clustered arrangement, with lower requirements for structure and contrast, presenting a natural roundness. Suitable for: table flowers at celebrations and table flowers in larger VIP rooms.

6. Flower selection for different event occasions:

1) For dining tables, registration desks, and conference tables: Emphasize horizontal extension with a slight rise in the center and elegant curves at both ends, appreciable from any angle.

2) For podium flowers and gift baskets at celebrations and openings: Use equilateral, isosceles, or scalene triangles, which are simple and stable, giving a sense of balance, stability, simplicity, and solemnity.

3) For smaller spaces like VIP rooms or unique meeting activities to decorate buffet tables or display areas: Use L-shape with two perpendicular planes, unbalanced left and right, large flowers at the corner, small flowers extending forward, giving a sense of openness and upwardness.

4) For placing on podiums or other high positions, or against walls on meeting tables, and suitable for large events: Use fan shape, a variation of the basic triangle, radiating from the center to form a fan, conveying grandeur, magnificence, peace, and rationality. Can be placed upright or flat.

5) For table flowers at celebrations and table flowers in larger VIP rooms: Use oval shape, elegant and luxurious, with a large number of flowers in a clustered arrangement, lower requirements for structure and contrast, presenting a natural roundness.
