Testimonials

'Sami managed to create a magical atmosphere for our special day, the willow aisle and garlands were beautifully organic and looked so natural in the woodland setting, our ceremonial arch was stunning and was the perfect backdrop. She managed to transform a green canvas shelter into a banqueting hall. Working with Sami was brilliant, she knew exactly what we were after, wedding preparations can be really stressful but with Sami it was a joy.' Rebecca and Bill Godard

Sami and Tracy's creativity knows no bounds. Their professionalism and ability to deliver on time with the most stunning works of art is second to none! I can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wishes to have beautiful custom-designed decoration at their event. Their work for us at our Hanging Gardens of Brighton event for the Brighton Fringe Finale Party was truly brilliant." Kieran Doswell, Babylon Festivals MD

Hanging Gardens of Babylon





This scheme was originally designed bespoke for Babylon Festival April 2012. The main focus was on the Stage marquee where huge 12 meter false garlands were hand made using tropical false flowers, to adorn the roof. A stunning two tier hanging basket as the centre piece, and and array of bees, birds and butterflies flocking around the blooms. Rubbish Artist, Tracey Graham designed and made two Stone effect Gods to mark out the real Babylonian theme.

Weddings and Functions











Creating space sensitive design to order for your special occasion is one of our specialities. Working to a budget, drawing out designs and hand making items to make the most of your chosen environment. Here you have seen featured a red and white winter wedding at Berkley Castle, in the medieval hall. The flower arrangements and 12 meter garland were all made from winter foliage and adorned with ribbons and roses. Also bespoke work for a 21st birthday in a stunning country home garden setting in the welsh mountains, with a mid summer nights dream feel in organic yurt structures. Finally a low budget birthday party in a half ruined chapel where disused architectural stone work pillars were brought in from outside with basic foliage and drapery to sympathise with old stone flags, fireplaces and beams to create a rustic dinner party setting.  

Country Garden








Pretty and fun, this collection of hand made fabric flowers, bees and butterflies is a relief mural made on exhibition boards. Basically a synthetic indoor garden. It has huge potential to make many spaces come alive as there is so much attention to detail. There is a possible addition of swing and garden furniture to bring the outside inside at any time of year.

Jungle













One of the most popular collections of work, Jungle lends itself to many sizes of space. Elements are interchangeable allowing it to hire as green room space, brooding and dark club night decor (as seen at DMT underground music events) or an indoor festival stage. 

Caribbean Beach Bar



For a really fun way to brighten up a space this fusion of jungle and tropical sea side themes works for functions, music, cocktail parties and more. The elements are all available separately too so it is truly versatile becoming more beach like with sea scape backdrops, deck chairs hammocks and sand.

Moroccan Scheme







These pictures were taken at Glastonbury Festival in June 2011, and more recently the real ale bar at Brisfest 2012. The scheme was originally used to create a comfortable green room space for artists at the West Holts Stage. It has the potential to also work well as an unusual wedding marquee set or for cafe / restaurant spaces.
