Tablescapes, banquets and celebrations
Special events
Tablescapes for a long room, a head table, a hall that needs filling, an anniversary, a banquet, a club dinner. Tell us the room and roughly what you want it to feel like, and we will build to it.
How it usually goes
Three things we will ask you
- 1
The room
How big it is, how the tables sit, and whether anything has to be seen from the back.
- 2
The feeling
Loud and bright, or quiet and warm. Colors you want, and colors you do not.
- 3
The budget
A number or a range. It shapes the answer more than anything else on this list.
Tablescapes and room work
Point at one and we will work from there
A table setting is mostly a decision about height. Low and wide so people can talk across it, or tall so it still reads from the back of the room. Tell us which, and how many tables, and we will price it from there.
From the shopLow on the table
Low and wide, so people can see each other across it. That matters more at a long table than it sounds.
From the shopTall, for a big room
Poppy pods, thistle and protea, built upward so it still reads from the back of a hall.
From the shopCandlelit, low and long
Ivory roses, feathers and pampas around three candles, built low so it runs down the middle of a table without blocking anybody.
From the shopBright and celebratory
Red, orange and gold in a footed urn. Built for a room that is already loud.
Silk, for a long run
Built on the same bench as the fresh work. Nothing to water, and it goes back in the box afterwards.
From the shopDried and preserved
Grasses, cattails and preserved stems. Good for a room that has to be set up the day before.
A note for Glen and Tom
These are pieces from the shop rather than photographs of events you have decorated. Rachel mentioned a few by name when she visited, and we have deliberately left them off until you have asked those customers whether we can say so. Send us photographs and the permission and this page gets much better.
The one gap worth filling first is a set table. Rachel said on the 2026-08-31 call she would go through her pictures for this. A photograph of a room you have actually set is worth more here than anything else on the page, and it drops straight into the top of the carousel above.
Tell us about the event
A banquet, a club dinner, an anniversary, a hall that needs filling. Tell us what you are thinking and we will come back to you.
