Before Our Collaboration
Our client was to take part in a trade event in Melbourne with their own booth to promote their business. Since they were responsible for building and decorating the booth, the client needed to find a way to capture the attention of attendees without putting more work on their shoulders.
The Problem
To attract visitors and amplify the message of the business, our client needed a welcoming and visually engaging booth that could stand out from the rest. Yet, they had a few specific requirements:
- Temporary decor: They only needed the decor for the duration of the event. Purchasing new decor would have been impractical as they had no further use for it.
- Hassle-free: The client needed a setup that was easy to install and dismantle. With a tight schedule, they didn’t want to worry about complex assembly or disassembly.
- Maintenance-free: They needed decor that didn’t require ongoing maintenance and wouldn’t ask for extra attention during the event.
- Visually appealing: The client wanted the decor to make the booth approachable without overshadowing the displays or branding. They needed a balance between visual appeal and subtlety.
After researching different ideas for some time, they ultimately decided to go with artificial hanging plants on the booth rods and pillars.
Then, after a bit more research, they chose Designer Plants as their supplier, and we recommended a few different artificial plants for hire that could meet their specific needs.
During the Process
The client had clear goals for their booth decor and we were intent on meeting their requirements.
Since this project is a bit different than our regular ones in that it’s not meant to be permanent decor, our approach differs as well.
Usually, we tend to highlight the artificial greenery we install and make it become a focal point in the space. For this project though, we needed to do the opposite – make it eye-catching but not distracting so that it doesn’t hog all the attention away from the business itself.
The booth, and the venue itself, were industrial in nature, with rigid lines and a strictly utilitarian appearance. So, we decided to cluster various lush artificial hanging plants together and arrange them along the top of the booth.
Since we offer artificial plants for hire, we can easily cater to clients who want high-impact decor without permanence. For this event, we used our rental service and installed their fauxliege for just a few days.
The Solution
The resident was on a tight schedule and needed everything in place quickly. So, our team acted fast and brought in a variety of hanging plants and stems to the venue.
The client wasn’t interested in DIY, so we dispatched a team of builders and installers to create an attractive, cohesive look that complemented the booth without overpowering it.
The installation itself featured artificial hanging plants cascading over the top and sides of the booth which gave the appearance of natural overgrowth. The greenery added a natural, organic feel to the space and softened the hard lines of the structure.
The setup, as shown in the photos, didn’t compete with the branding or displays. Instead, it provided a welcoming, pleasant ambiance.
How Hiring Faux Plants Works
Hiring artificial plants is straightforward and hassle-free, both for us and the clients.
First, you need to have an idea in mind so you can request a quote from us. To ensure we give you what you need, we have to know your vision and decide which plants would help you achieve it.
Then, you choose the foliage. We offer a variety of faux plants and foliage options to match different aesthetics, from tropical hanging plants to elegant ivy or moss-covered stems. If you’re not sure, we can help you with your choice and suggest some specific products.
Clients reach out with a description of their event and venue and, ideally, share details on their decor needs. We provide a customized quote based on the scope and complexity of the project, the number of plants needed, and the desired setup.
Then, we’re ready for the installation. Our team comes to the site and handles everything there. We transport the plants to the event venue, set up the arrangement according to the specifications, and ensure every detail looks perfect.
After the event, we dismantle the setup and take our plants back to the warehouse to get them ready for the next rental.
This process means that clients can simply arrive at the event with everything ready to go and leave without any cleanup concerns.
After the Process
The outcome exceeded the client’s expectations. Thanks to the artificial plants, the booth had a fresh, vibrant look throughout the event and the decor held up beautifully without any extra effort.
Our team took down the plants once the event ended, so our client could wrap up their exhibition without dealing with plant logistics.
We love renting our artificial plants because it aligns with our sustainability practices. Since we reuse the same faux plants for multiple events, we don’t produce waste and contribute to the creation of more single-use plastics.
Next Steps
This collaboration demonstrates the impact that artificial hanging plants can have on a venue.
As we continue to experiment with for-hire projects, we’re excited to bring unique greenery displays to more venues.
