We thought it would be lovely to show you a little more about our concept to final design installation process in collaboration with florists, rental companies and production teams.
Our first step is always to spend 1-2 hours with our clients in order to fully brief on preferred styles, personal aesthetic, story telling, initial ideas and dreams! We create something bespoke for every client, so it's important for us to unravel detail that allows us to design to the finest level, taking your guests on a journey from invitation to dancing the night away and farewells.
Once we have spent some time with you, we go away and gather inspiration and imagery to help build a visual guide from start to finish. We spend a long time refining this, and begin to delve into logistical details that various teams require in order to quote and create their own proposals.
We write up a detailed guide to your events, because to us wording is incredibly important in outlining specific concepts and storytelling to match any images and illustrations. Eventually we take all of this and create a digital design booklet that details everything - an extremely useful way to help you visualise, but also to brief vendors and artists so that their own interpretation and proposals are cohesive with each other.
Often we will create additional floorplans, illustrations, quick visual guides and mini moodboards after this - helping clients to feel completely in control of the overall vision.
An initial concept and style guide is always developed further based on rental availability and final purchases or design of bespoke elements - from charger plates, to tableware, candles, stationery, linens, furniture and props.
Of course some things will change last minute based on seasonality, weather, stock shortages or client requests. However we aim for as few surprises as possible so that everyone is on the page and confident in the final style guides and set up.
We usually work with our own in house design team on bespoke elements, or outsource if it's something specific or unusual. Nothing is too much trouble!
All of our tablescape designs are centred around the food and menu, as much as the overall concept and colour schemes. It's important to us that guests enjoy their meal in an elevated setting that allows flow of conversation and showcases the chef's talent.
Each space will also be considered for individual scenting journeys - from room/linen sprays to luxury candles - all of which evokes an atmosphere and imprints memories for everyone in attendance.
Our signature style is what we like to call "laid back luxury" - nothing is gaudy or ostentatious, everything is considered, classy, elevated and with a focus on quality throughout. That doesn't mean we don't have "wow factor" - we absolutely do! It's just far more subtle and original, focused on your own style, and reflective of a more refined elegance.
We offer our full design service alongside planning & co-ordination for all our clients. To enquire please email info@studiosorores.com
