The Right Flower Arrangement For Your Event’s Unique Ambience

1 / 5 FOR THE BOARDROOM
Boardrooms may be all about business, but your floral arrangements for them don’t have to be. Try monochromatic or two-toned color schemes to add a subtle pop to dark or neutral-toned boardroom walls. Collaborate with presenters and caterers to ensure that walkways are clear and that no views are obstructed. Reserve your favorite arrangements for the front of the room to greet guests as they arrive.

2 / 5 IN THE BALLROOM
As ballrooms are often meant for large, extravagant affairs, don’t be afraid to opt for larger arrangements or towering centerpieces. Long-stem flowers (like roses, carnations and orchids) add an elegant touch. Naturally large bloomers, like Japanese cherry blossoms, add a soothing, organic touch to any presentation. Place those eye-catching displays on tables, against walls, on or around the stage (if relevant), and wherever you’d like to draw the most attention.

3 / 5 FOR A CHARITABLE DINNER
Enhance the elegance of your next charitable dinner by adding subtle floral arrangements of any size. Match your color scheme to your organization’s theme or opt for bright, warm colors to keep spirits high. Depending on the format and setup of the tables, you can place medium-sized arrangements on every table or smaller ones against each seat for a more personal touch.

4 / 5 AT A NETWORKING EVENT
Pique your guests’ curiosity with interesting or exotic centerpieces. Smaller vases and short-stem flowers can add a welcoming but non-distracting object of focus that draws guests together. For a simple touch, opt for pieces that won’t need much maintenance or attention, like succulents or bonsai trees. However, if your theme calls for something more extravagant, display unique arrangements at every table, like bold-colored seasonal or local flowers.

5 / 5 FOR A FASHION-INSPIRED EVENT
Much like meetings held in ballrooms, fashion-inspired events call for flair and a bit of drama. Stick to brand colors to play things safe or use a fresh color scheme to set an edgy tone. Line flowers along a walkway for an instant (and easy) fashion runway. If your client wants a minimalist look, decorate the tables and runway with a monochromatic color scheme.
Whether it’s a simple centerpiece or a dazzling display, flowers can enhance a celebration with the right burst of beauty. Even if your event has a more professional ambiance (like a conference, demo or class), you don’t have to skip on the stems. Flowers can set the tone for a variety of event types-you just need to know exactly where to put them.
