Elevating Your Corporate Event: The Power of Floral Installations

Aug 8

When it comes to planning a memorable corporate event in New Orleans, it’s all about the details. From venue selection to catering and entertainment, each element plays a role in shaping the experience. But there’s one often-overlooked detail that can dramatically elevate the ambiance and wow your guests from the moment they arrive: florals.

At Kim Starr Wise Floral Events, we believe that flowers do more than decorate a room. They tell a story, set a tone, and create a lasting impression. And one of the most show-stopping ways to use florals at a corporate event? A hanging floral installation.

Why Go Beyond the Table Centerpiece?

Traditional floral arrangements are beautiful, but when you're hosting an event designed to impress clients, partners, or employees, it pays to think vertically (literally). Hanging floral installations add instant drama and sophistication to your space. They create a focal point, draw the eye upward, and transform even the most minimalist venue into something magical.

Plus, in a city like New Orleans, where bold design, culture, and celebration are part of our DNA, there’s no better place to go big with floral creativity.

What is a Hanging Floral Installation?

Imagine stepping into a ballroom where hundreds of orchids cascade from the ceiling above the bar. Or walking into a networking lounge and looking up to see greenery, Spanish moss, and roses floating above the seating area.

A hanging floral installation is a suspended arrangement, either overhead, from ceiling beams, or incorporated into lighting, that combines flowers, foliage, and structural design elements.

3 Ways to Use Floral Installations at Your Next Corporate Event

1. The Statement Piece Over the Stage or Podium
Draw attention to your keynote speaker or awards ceremony with a lush, branded floral canopy above the main stage. Incorporate your company’s colors or logo for a custom, professional look.

2. Floating Blooms Over the Bar or Lounge Area
Bars and lounges are natural gathering points. Enhance that energy with a suspended garden of color and texture above the bartenders' heads. Bonus: This doubles as a great Instagram moment.

3. Entryway Elegance
First impressions matter. Welcome guests with a floral arch or a suspended display in the entryway. It sets the mood from the second they arrive.
