With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, love really is all around, and there’s no better time to infuse your venue with a dash of romance…
Expert planting can completely transform your hospitality venue and create an atmosphere that feels intimate, inviting, and unforgettable for every guest that walks through your doors.
From soft reception plants, to dimmed lighting and lavish floral installations to dramatic entrance features and rich touches of rouge.
The right design choices can set the perfect scene for the season of romance and we can bring any design vision of yours to life to really bring the drama.
Here are our top tips to help you vamp up your venue:
Nothing says romance quite like a jaw-dropping floral display. Whether you opt for preserved arrangements or fresh, live blooms, bespoke florals add instant impact and that perfect touch of timeless elegance.
Think soft blush pinks, deep mysterious reds, and fresh, lush greenery layered together to add depth, texture, and intrigue to an interior wall or exterior entrance. Our handmade, carefully installed designs act as striking focal points which elevate that sense of ambience. We tailor every display to your venue’s needs, whether you seek a display that’s low maintenance for high traffic areas, one that can withstand the elements, or simply one that connects the mind and soul to nature.
Beautiful hanging baskets are just one way to draw guests into your venue as the seasons start to change, setting the tone before your guests even step inside.
With a real touch of kerb appeal, working well at entrance and exit points, or on arranged dramatically on balconies, our arrangements are teeming with colour, movement and visual interest which work especially well on harsh architectural lines found on period buildings throughout bustling cities.
They encourage guests to pause, admire, and fully immerse themselves in the experience, and take photos for Instagram to promote your brand which is perfect for creating a memorable first impression.
There’s no better way to set the scene than with a bold, maximalist planting scheme… Large, living, and unapologetically leafy.
Thoughtful group arrangements evoke nature’s colours and textures, making spaces feel warm, personal, and lived-in rather than clinical or unfamiliar. This approach is especially powerful when you’re looking to cultivate a specific atmosphere, whether romantic and intimate or dramatic and design-led.
Romance is as much about feeling as visuals and soft considered lighting is the true unsung hero of romantic design.
Globular wall sconces and sensory details create a real mood. And playful shadow can further enhance planting schemes and shift the mood from cold to comfort.
Working in tune with the aromas of live florals and foliage, layered planting creates a multi-sensory experience that feels immersive and indulgent.
To create a sensory experience your guests won’t forget, biophilic design can be taken one step further through the integration of flowing water features.
Branded moss walls combined with bespoke water elements and fixed glass panels create a striking statement, which is perfect for entrances that demand attention.
The gentle movement and sound of water adds a new found sense of depth and tranquility, engaging all the senses and leaving guests with that wow factor.
