Trends and benefits of plant decoration

The "green attitude" clearly has an impact on the events industry. We are seeing more and more vegetation in cities and commercial spaces.

Moreover, plant-based walls and decor are ultra-trendy, thanks in particular to the botanist Patrick Blanc.

Surprisingly, fashion has launched the movement by integrating plants into its presentations. We are also seeing the creation of immersive atmospheres.

To show you specifically how plant-based decor can be used in different ways, here are some telling examples:

  • Themed weddings: You can personalize the wedding decor according to the theme you have chosen. Whether it's a rustic, bohemian, or green style, opt for fresh flowers, natural or preserved plants, and plant-based decorative elements to create a unique atmosphere.
  • Corporate seminars: Plant-based landscaping of workspaces during seminars allows participants to concentrate better and feel good. Focus on indoor plants, green walls, or strategically placed floral arrangements to create a soothing yet stimulating atmosphere.
  • Trade shows: A vegetated stand attracts the attention of visitors and considerably enhances the company's image. Focus on plants, flowers, and plant-based decorations to create a welcoming and original space, which reinforces the brand's visibility.
  • Christmas events: Christmas decor is ideally suited to the use of plants. You can integrate natural or artificial Christmas trees, Advent wreaths, garlands of greenery, and floral arrangements to create an atmosphere that is both festive and warm.
  • Product launches: Plant-based scenography is perfect for showcasing a new product. It is possible to design a custom plant-based decor that highlights its characteristics and positioning. To do this, use plants, flowers, and decorative elements to create an immersive and memorable atmosphere for visitors.

Vegetal decoration is suitable for many events. Above all, it brings a touch of nature and originality.

These installations reduce the carbon footprint thanks to green roofs that insulate and absorb water. The plants filter dust and transform CO₂ into oxygen.

They have a positive impact on participants by promoting well-being, concentration, and a true sense of calm within the spaces concerned.

Technical and logistical choices

Should we first evaluate what is best between natural or stabilized plants? The answer depends on the event. It all naturally depends on the duration, budget, and conditions. Natural plants offer a vibrant charm but require regular maintenance. Conversely, stabilized plants do not.

For a temporary installation, rigorous organization is essential. In particular, it is necessary to anticipate the transport of plants, given that they are fragile, and to adapt to unusual spaces - which constitutes a real challenge, requiring solutions.

Installing a plant-based decoration for an event requires rigorous event project management: essential for ensuring everyone works together. As for the event technical director, they become invaluable in ensuring that the plant-based decor harmonizes perfectly with the rest of the event.

Service providers and budget

Selection of specialized service providers

To choose a professional plant decorator, you need to verify their floral and horticultural training (particularly the CAP Fleuriste). Experience in the sector is an important criterion.

It is crucial to verify that they manage plant preservation methods and safety standards.

Among the flagship services that companies specializing in plant decoration offer:

  • Plant Rental: Plant rental companies offer a turnkey solution that includes delivery, installation, and maintenance of the plants throughout the event, ensuring optimal plant decor without constraints.
  • Creation of custom plant decorations. These plant decor professionals offer unique and personalized creations tailored to the event's theme and venue constraints; they use natural, preserved, or artificial plants, as well as particularly innovative decorative accessories.
  • Design of plant walls: Companies specializing in plant walls create particularly impressive vertical installations using innovative processes and plant species selected to create a spectacular and lasting plant decor.
  • Comprehensive plant scenography: Scenography experts take charge of all floral arrangements for an event, from design to execution, harmonizing the various components (plants, flowers, furniture, lighting) to create an immersive and coherent atmosphere.
  • Rental of plant furniture: To enrich the plant environment, there is also the rental of designer furniture that incorporates plants—such as coffee tables with built-in planters, vegetated benches, or light fixtures adorned with vegetation.

These services allow you to create unique and personalized plant atmospheres for all types of events.

Terre d'événements collaborates with artisans to create plant decorations for events such as the Les Étoiles de Mougins festival, for example; the incorporation of natural and mineral elements requires real expertise. Among the technical challenges: the use of flowering trees out of season.

Budget optimization

Seasonality plays a key role in the costs of plant-based decor. Out-of-season flowers and plants lead to additional costs. Choosing seasonal plants helps reduce costs while promoting local species. The time of year directly influences transport and storage costs.

To reconcile quality and budget, it is imperative to define a detailed budget. Plant rental proves to be economical for one-off events. Combining different materials (natural, artificial, recycled) creates resolutely original decorations.
