Living plant installations
Big, lush living plants bring your tipis to life, and they go on growing long after your wedding day. Use them wherever you want to make a statement.
Around your tipis
Frame the entrances and edges of your tipis with lush greenery, so your guests arrive into a garden.
Next to our carts
Dress our vintage welcome drinks and cake carts with living plants for a fresh, natural finish.
Behind your top table
A living backdrop to your top table makes a stunning focal point for speeches and photos.
Lit up after dark
Woven with fairy lights and warm uplighting, the plants glow as the sun goes down and set the atmosphere.
Hanging with disco balls
Suspended greenery mixed with disco balls brings a little sparkle to the dancefloor.
