We’re sure you’ve seen your fair share of greenery at events. We’re also sure you know most of it is fake.
Of course, when you’re looking down the barrel of an elaborate party with tens or hundreds of guests, tending to plants will probably be the last thing on your mind.
Thankfully, artificial plants are a versatile and hassle-free solution for event décor because they provide the aesthetic appeal without the maintenance of real plants.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, birthday party, bachelorette or a red-carpet event (fancy) – renting artificial greenery can be the one element that takes it up a notch with very little effort.
Here, we’ll explore ways to use artificial plants for hire at various events, the benefits they bring, and tips for ensuring you select high-quality faux greenery.
Let’s get started.
Where to Use Artificial Plants for Hire?
Artificial plants for hire are a good option for a wide range of events. They have an innate (or shall we say ‘embedded’) ability to transform spaces with minimal effort and at low costs.
If you haven’t yet discovered their beauty, here are some ideal occasions you can adorn in the future:
- Weddings: You can enhance the romantic ambience of a wedding with artificial flower walls that can serve as backdrops for vows or photoshoots. Faux flower walls are the most common products we rent for weddings, with our Artificial Flower Wall Backdrop Panel taking the crown. Or, if you want artificial trees for hire for your wedding, you have the option to choose and mix various imitations for the best effect. Plus, it helps that they’re easy to put up and take down.
- Birthday Parties: Create a lush, vibrant setting for birthday celebrations with artificial green walls. They add a fresh, lively feel to the venue and you can customise them to fit any theme. You can hang balloons, string lights or even make them into Polaroid photo walls. And if you need a photo wall, check out our extensive collection and pick your weapon of choice.
- Bachelorettes: Set the scene for a fun bachelorette party with faux trees and palms. An artificial tree hire will bring in an exotic vibe, perfect for a beach-themed or outdoor event. For example, you can grab a Tropical Phoenix Artificial Potted Palm Tree, place it on your patio and make it look like a mini Caribbean Island. What a setting for a bride-to-be!
- Red Carpets: If you’re into Hollywood glam and are lucky enough to have the opportunity to organise a real red carpet event, there’s no better way to add glamour than with an artificial hedge hire. Our hires for the Ocean’s 8 premiere in Melbourne are ‘living’ proof of this. Plus, since every model is portable, you can choose a size and type you like and then dot the I’s and cross the T’s for the rest of the event.
- Launch Parties: Introduce new products or services in a stylish environment adorned with artificial greenery. Because faux plants can create a welcoming atmosphere unlike any other, you can enhance the aesthetic of your launch. Given the fact that these parties are usually at some fancy venues, it’s not ideal to buy greenery you won’t use again. So just call and rent it!
Why Are Artificial Plants for Hire Good for Events?
Artificial plants for hire offer numerous advantages for event organising. This variety makes them making them a good choice for various occasions. Some of the reasons why you may decide to hire your artificial greenery include:
They’re Practical
Artificial plants are easy to move around, bend and rearrange. This means it won’t take you a degree in engineering to create a new setup or adjust your decor even during the event.
Whether you need to shift decorations for better flow or you want to adapt to unexpected changes in the venue layout, faux plants will simply follow your directions and lend their beauty wherever you need it.
They’re Low Maintenance
Unlike real plants, artificial plants require no watering, pruning, or special care. This means you can focus on your event without worrying about plant maintenance or potential issues like shedding leaves.
One of the best benefits of artificial greenery is that it’s a set-it-and-forget-it solution to your decor. And when you’re already at the end of your tethers from the rest of the party, at least you won’t have to worry about the foliage.
They Don’t Attract Bugs
Artificial plants don’t provide a habitat for insects because they don’t release pollen or other particles that attract bugs. As a result, you’ll ensure your guests won’t be bothered by bugs and won’t spend their time swatting away.
In outdoor settings, this will contribute to a more pleasant experience and won’t incur additional costs for repellents.
They’re Reusable
While many fake plants don’t have the best reputation when it comes to the environment, artificial foliage is inherently reusable and protects the planet in that it doesn’t end up in landfills after a night’s use.
For example, you can rent a faux hedge, use it for a birthday party and a get-together and return it to us. We’ll then pass on the same faux hedge (if it’s in good condition, of course) to another person. In turn, this reduces waste and provides a cost-effective decor solution.
They’re Hypoallergenic
As we mentioned previously, artificial plants don’t release pollen. This means that your allergy-prone guests won’t risk their health by attending your event.
This hypoallergenic aspect of fauxliege ensures everyone, even the most sensitive, can enjoy the beauty of green decor without sneezing the night away.
How to Know If Faux Plants Are Good Quality
Unfortunately, it’s harder than it seems.
To ensure you’re getting high-quality artificial plants, you need to evaluate them before making a commitment.
Explore, compare, find a trustworthy supplier – then proceed.
