From Table Centres to Full Event Styling: A Case Study
From Table Centres to Full Event Styling: A Case Study
When planning a corporate event, impactful design goes far beyond table décor. At Table Art, we specialise in event styling beyond table centres, delivering cohesive, immersive environments that transform venues into memorable experiences.
This case study with Entain Group at Manchester Deansgate Hotel demonstrates how combining bespoke event centrepieces, lighting, and large-scale styling elements creates a unified and high-impact aesthetic. By utilising a full range of products—from entrance features to statement installations—this event showcases how a design-led approach can elevate every aspect of the guest journey.
While table centrepieces for corporate events remain a key feature, they are just one part of a much bigger picture. For this event, the goal was to create a fully immersive environment where every visual element worked together seamlessly.
Rather than treating décor as separate pieces, the design focused on cohesion, ensuring that lighting, props, and centrepieces all contributed to a consistent look and feel across the entire venue.
A Full-Service Event Styling Approach
This event is a strong example of how Table Art delivers event styling beyond table centres by integrating multiple design elements throughout the space.
The installation included:
Glow Bubble table centres styled with Pixel Poseurs
Star Globe table centres placed across the venue
Reflection orbs to enhance depth and visual interest
A custom neon sign as a striking focal point
A foil backdrop with balloon surround for added impact
These elements worked together to create layers of visual interest, ensuring the design extended far beyond the tables.
First impressions are crucial
First impressions are crucial in corporate event styling. To create a strong and consistent arrival experience, the event featured:
A matching Pixel Post entrance
A stretch tunnel light installation to guide guests into the space
These features helped establish the event’s aesthetic from the outset, reinforcing the overall design concept before guests even reached the main room.
Using Lighting to Unify the Space
Lighting is one of the most powerful tools in event design, and in this case, it played a central role in tying everything together.
A unified purple lighting scheme was used throughout the venue to:
Enhance the impact of centrepieces and props
Create atmosphere and depth
Maintain visual consistency across different zones
By aligning lighting with styling elements, the entire event space felt intentional, immersive, and cohesive.
Part of a Bigger Picture
While this event clearly demonstrates event styling beyond table centres, bespoke centrepieces still played an important role within the wider design.
The Glow Bubble and Star Globe table centres:
Reflected and amplified the lighting design
Added height and structure to tables
Complemented surrounding installations and props
Rather than standing alone, these centrepieces were integrated into the overall concept—supporting a unified and polished finish.
Design-Led Delivery
This event highlights the importance of collaboration in delivering successful corporate event styling. Jackie and her team at Entain Group trusted Table Art to execute a bold and cohesive vision using a full suite of styling solutions.
By working closely with the client, Table Art was able to deliver not just décor, but a complete event environment—showcasing the value of a design-led, full-service approach.
Moving Beyond Individual Elements
Events that rely on standalone décor can feel disjointed. A full styling approach ensures every element works together to enhance the overall experience.
In this case, centrepieces, props, and lighting were seamlessly integrated, while entrance features and large-scale installations added impact and guided the guest journey.
This cohesive approach is what transforms a standard event into something truly memorable.
