Stage Arrangements

When it comes to school assemblies or award ceremonies, all eyes are on the stage. So why not make it look amazing? Stage arrangements are large floral displays that can be placed at the front or back of the stage to create a beautiful backdrop. Imagine a vibrant mix of flowers framing the podium where speeches are given and awards are handed out—it instantly makes the event feel more festive. Plus, it looks great in photos!

Lectern Arrangements

If your event includes speeches, adding flowers in front of the lectern can make a big impact. A small floral arrangement placed at the base of the lectern adds a burst of colour and makes the speaker's area look polished and professional. Whether it’s the principal delivering a graduation speech or a student representative talking about the school year, a carefully placed floral arrangement can enhance the stage's overall look.

Teacher Gifts from Parents

Teachers work hard all year, and the end of the school year is a great time to show some appreciation. Flowers make for thoughtful gifts from parents to teachers. A beautiful bouquet or a potted plant can brighten up a teacher's day and classroom. It’s a simple gesture that says, “Thank you for all you do!”.  You could even get creative with personalised arrangements that reflect a teacher's favourite colours or flowers.

Farewell Bouquets for Teachers Not Returning

Sometimes teachers move on to new adventures at the end of the year. Farewell bouquets are a lovely way to say goodbye and thank you. A carefully chosen bouquet can express gratitude for the years of dedication and hard work a teacher has given. It’s a sweet, simple way to let them know they’ll be missed and appreciated.

Corsages and Buttonholes for School Formals

School formals are one of the most anticipated events of the year! Everyone gets dressed up and wants to look their best, and flowers are the perfect accessory. Corsages and buttonholes are small flower arrangements worn on the wrist or pinned to a jacket. They can be customised to match the colour of your outfit or represent your school colours.

Presentation Bouquets for Assemblies

Assemblies are all about recognition and celebration. When a student receives an award or gives a standout performance, handing them a presentation bouquet can make the moment even more special. These bouquets are usually small and easy to hold, perfect for students to carry on stage. Plus, they add a nice touch of elegance to any award ceremony, making it feel more like a big deal!


Why Choose Flowers for School Events?

Flowers have a way of making any event feel more exciting and memorable. Here’s why they’re a great choice for your school’s end-of-year events:

* They’re Versatile: Flowers can be used in many different ways, from stage decorations to personal gifts.

* They Make Events More Special: Fresh flowers add a level of sophistication and elegance to any event.

* They’re Memorable: People remember events that stand out, and flowers can help create those lasting memories.

* They’re Customisable: With so many types, colours, and styles of flowers to choose from, we can create arrangements that fit your school colours or the mood of your event.


Tips for Choosing the Right Flowers

Choosing the right flowers for your event can make all the difference. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

* Think About Colour: Match your flowers to your school colours or the theme of the event. Bright, bold colours work well for celebratory events, while softer tones can be more appropriate for formal occasions.

* Know Your Audience: If you’re choosing flowers for a teacher gift or a farewell bouquet, think about what the recipient might like. Do they have a favourite flower or colour? A personalised touch can make the gift even more special.


Final Thoughts

Whether it’s a big graduation ceremony, a fun school formal, or a heartfelt farewell, flowers can enhance any school event. They’re a great way to celebrate achievements, show appreciation, and make memories that will last long after the school year ends. So, if you’re planning an event this November, consider adding some fresh flowers - they’re sure to make your occasion feel even more special.
