The bigger the idea the better! We plan events for luxury brands, so obviously we looked to Jimmy Choo to show us how a flower wall in-store can inspire a bright and colorful spring line launch event. With colors of the brand, or colors from the latest collection, you can create something spectacular.

Even if your brand is like Kate Spade– fun, bright, and classy, you can add a flower wall to your event like Kate did to her storefront. It’s fitting, and inviting (with great picture opportunities for social media buzz!)

Cocktails are always a great way to get the good vibes rolling at a rainy day party, but how cool would it be to keep the May flowers theme going? Adding a little element of your theme to every aspect of the event can wow guests, and continue the bright color pop.

Have a high ceiling in your event space? Don’t let all the open space go to waste! These lighting fixtures captured us from the moment we laid eyes on them. With this type of decor, you can keep a simple table (more space for food), or you can really go all out and add more flowers and really surprise your guests. With flowers above, think of other options for the centerpieces like teapots, or rainboots!

One of our favorite flowers is tulips. They give a traditional spring look and add a classic feel. Sometimes simple is better than elaborate, so take your sweet springtime event, and add an element that is classic and unforgettable.
