The Art of Floral Design: How to Elevate Your Event with Expert Tips from Nicole Cooper of Stem Design

Flowers are more than just decorations; they are the essence of beauty and elegance that can transform any event into a memorable experience. Whether you’re planning a corporate function, a private celebration, or a special occasion, the right floral arrangements can set the tone, enhance the atmosphere, and leave a lasting impression on your guests. Nicole Cooper, the director of Stem Design and a leading floral designer in Brisbane, shares her expert insights on how to use flowers to elevate your event.

Understanding the Role of Flowers in Event Design

Flowers play a crucial role in event design, bringing life, colour, and texture to any space. They can be used to convey a theme, express emotions, or simply add a touch of elegance. Nicole Cooper emphasizes the importance of understanding the purpose of your event and how flowers can complement and enhance that purpose.

“Flowers are not just decorative elements; they are an integral part of the overall design,” says Nicole. “When planning an event, it’s important to consider how flowers will interact with other design elements like lighting, furniture, and colour schemes. The right floral arrangements can tie everything together and create a cohesive, visually stunning environment.”

Customising Floral Arrangements for Your Event

Every event is unique, and your floral arrangements should reflect that uniqueness. At Stem Design, Nicole and her team specialise in creating bespoke floral designs that are tailored to the specific needs and vision of each client.

“We believe that flowers should be as unique as the event they’re designed for,” Nicole explains. “Whether it’s a corporate function, a wedding, or a private party, we work closely with our clients to understand their vision and create custom arrangements that exceed their expectations.”

Nicole suggests considering the following factors when customising your floral arrangements:

  • Event Theme and Style: The theme and style of your event should guide your choice of flowers. For example, a modern, minimalist event might call for sleek, monochromatic arrangements, while a more traditional event might benefit from lush, multi-coloured bouquets.
  • Venue and Space: The size and layout of your venue will influence the type and placement of your floral arrangements. Large venues may require more substantial arrangements to fill the space, while smaller, more intimate venues might be best suited to delicate, understated designs.
  • Seasonality: Choosing flowers that are in season can not only ensure the freshest blooms but also create a connection to the time of year, enhancing the overall atmosphere of your event.

Incorporating Flowers into Different Types of Events

Nicole shares her expertise on how to incorporate flowers into various types of events, from corporate events to special occasions:

  • Corporate Events: For corporate functions, flowers can be used to reinforce branding, create a welcoming atmosphere, and even encourage networking. “We often use flowers in corporate colours or incorporate the company’s logo into the design,” says Nicole. “It’s a subtle yet powerful way to strengthen brand identity.”
  • Private Celebrations: Flowers can bring a personal touch to private celebrations, such as birthdays, anniversaries, or intimate gatherings. “For these events, we focus on creating arrangements that reflect the personality and preferences of the host or guest of honour,” Nicole explains.
  • Special Occasions: Whether it’s a milestone celebration or a special event like a product launch, flowers can add a layer of sophistication and elegance. “We love creating statement pieces that become conversation starters and focal points at these events,” says Nicole.

The Importance of Professional Installation

While choosing the right flowers and designing the perfect arrangements are essential, the installation process is just as important. Nicole and her team at Stem Design ensure that every arrangement is expertly installed to create maximum impact.

“Installation is where the magic happens,” Nicole says. “It’s one thing to create beautiful arrangements, but it’s another to place them in a way that truly enhances the space. Our team takes care of every detail, from delivery to installation, ensuring that the flowers look their best throughout the event.”
