You’ve come to the right place! Whether you’re planning a wedding, party, product launch, themed event, photo shoot, promotion, or corporate event, making the decision to hire indoor plants for events is your first step to creating a successful celebration that guests will remember for a long time!
The idea of creating the right atmosphere using nature is not new but deciding to hire plants for events to create the perfect space is a clever choice for the on-trend event coordinator.
Events have, for many years, used flowers and floral arrangements as focal points. From tabletop centrepieces to rose petal scatters – floristry has led the way in using nature to create stylish and impressive events.
Did you know the most watched and talked about event of the 2010’s was the wedding of Prince William and Princess Kate? It was dripping with Wow Factor! And what was the most talked about feature of the day, other than Kate and Pippa’s dresses? It was the gorgeous 20ft maple trees that lined the aisles of Westminster Abbey. Just when you thought Westminster Abbey couldn’t be any grander, trees and plants were used to make the wedding the grandest of all events.
When creating that extra edge, people are choosing to hire plants for events which are special, and which will be remembered for a long time. While event coordinators have been doing this for decades, making the choice to hire plants for events is a relatively new concept for the general public. The good news is that plant hire is now more accessible than ever before!
When event coordinators hire plants for events, they’re able to style and define each space, creating mini garden popups or simply adding features and themes to existing areas. For product promotions, plants can become an extension of a brand’s identity.
We recently worked with the event coordinators for Absolut’s Flavour of the Tropics event. We always recommend that organisers hire plants for events of this caliber. The resulting tropical theme was very effective. Goulburn Valley also regularly chooses to hire plants for events. For this event, citrus plants created visual appeal and reinforced Goulburn Valley’s branding. And for Pernod Ricard’s promotion, vines and gently lit fairy lights transformed the space into an ambient vineyard.
We are a company grounded in nature with a strong focus on our sustainable practices. We are passionate about the environment and how we can contribute to reducing our carbon footprint.
Those who decide to hire plants for events are making a sustainable choice, often without even realising it. Hiring plants is a sustainable alternative to wasteful floristry arrangements which are disposed of shortly after the event.
Our plants can be used for a range of roles. Flowering colourful plants are great for maintaining colour schemes. On top of that, their bright hues have an eye-catching quality. This is important for drawing the eye to the product but can also be used to distract from less attractive areas in your event space. Geraniums, orchids, poinsettias, bromeliads and more are available for short term plant hire, giving you more options to choose from, rather than just single use cut flowers which only last for a short time before they become waste. When you hire plants for events, you are choosing a more sustainable way to host a wonderful event.
Hiring plants makes a huge difference to events. Plants soften spaces, enhance backdrops and accentuate and frame feature and focal points. Plants also create layering and depth in spaces, bringing natural elements to otherwise artificial spaces.
Plants have the power to theme a space. A landscape can whisk people away to a foreign destination by using plants typical of that climate. For tropical themes, clusters of palms create the ideal oasis, while desert themes feature cacti in all shapes and sizes. The possibilities are endless.
Black and white wedge pots provide a neutral base against a flower’s vivid colours, enabling a theme to be created. Plus, the clean, angular lines of the pot contrast nicely with the organic shapes of any plant. And our wooden oak barrel pots present a different look and feel entirely. Potting contributes greatly to the overall effect a plant will have and should not be underestimated.
Hedges are also available for casual plant hire. Aesthetically, not all greens are created equal. The conifer hedge has grounded, earthen tones, whereas the ficus emerald has brilliant emerald hues true to its name. But the true utility of hedge plants lies in their size and number. They can be used to visually obstruct less attractive areas in the event space. They can also be used to define the size and shape of the event space for small or large events alike. Keep small functions intimate by bordering the hired area, or keep larger events organised by constructing queues, entryways and exits, gates, and so on.
The best part is, when you decide to hire plants for events, the choice is yours! With full access to our entire range, you have everything you need at your fingertips.
As you hire plants for events, you will quickly notice that the quality of the plants is higher. Why not get the benefit of beautiful greenery at a more cost-effective price?

You don’t have to sacrifice your budget or the plant quality when planning your event. It’s possible to receive all the benefits of both worlds. High quality plants elevate the aesthetic, enlighten the space, and boost the mood of your attendees.
Hiring plants for events gives you the benefit of having an expert stylist selecting the plants for you. Time is essential when planning an event. The time spent at a plant centre can be spent elsewhere in a more efficient way.

Here are the benefits of Event Styling with Tropical Plant Rentals:
You can elevate your theme when you hire plants for events, from small events to larger ones. Take a look at Melbourne Cup Day. The Melbourne Cup Lexus Marquee set the standard for sophistication and style.
The Lexus Marquee used plants, through an event hire company, to create an overhead canopy of dangling tulips (roots and all!). With Tropical Plant Rentals, event hire plants were also used to create organic, natural installations by well-known landscape designer – Jamie Durie. Jamie’s use of hired plants created the ultimate Melbourne Cup event experience.
Booking event hire options can be overwhelming. Taking inspiration from recent Melbourne Cup Birdcage marquees is a great place to start.
The Melbourne Cup Myer Marquee’s theme name – “Super Botanica” – says it all! The Myer Marquee was full of super scale specimens. Flowers, fruits and vines to name a few. This ultra-cool marquee used botanical event hire options to create the ultimate hang out for celebrities like Jen Hawkins and Sam Frost. Fresh foliage decorated the “Botanist’s Table” where celebs enjoyed freshly shucked oysters and G.H Mumm Champagne. The use of plants made the Myer Marquee experience a class act.
The Melbourne Cups major sponsor – Emirates – also used plant event hire in excess. They used plants to create an experience to remember for their members and guests. Celebrating all things English this year, the Emirates Marquee featured an English garden balcony. They used topiary trees and David Austin garden roses to create their theme. Plant event hire options used at the Emirates marquee provide event coordinators with plenty of inspiration.
Plants were also hired by the designers of the Swisse Marquee, the Lavazza Marquee and the Mumm Marquee. Taking notice of the design of this year’s Birdcage Marquees means event managers and designers are up to date with current trends. Botanical themes are certainly a popular theme for events.
When drawing inspiration from the 2015 Melbourne Cup marquees, event hire coordinators should consider making original twists on the ideas they see. For example, Jamie Durie’s dangling tulips in the Lexus Marquee could easily be recreated using other plants. Consider exotic orchids, lilies, or hydrangeas. Of course, if the budget permits, use a landscape designer and an interior designer to design a big event. It is important to make the most of hired plants. Creating botanical spaces through plant event hire is the edge every major event needs.
