Table Centrepieces Are The Missing Ingredient Your Event Needs

Let’s put our cards on the table. We believe table centrepieces are the most effective way to make your event stand out as an unforgettable experience, whilst managing your cost and efficiency closely. They are the missing ingredient that drastically increases the visual and emotional impact of your event. What’s more is they can be achieved at a fraction of the overall budget.

You’d be forgiven if you thought we were biased in our assessment. We are. But it’s this belief we’ve seen repeatedly outplayed up close, and subsequently have built, capitalised on and grown a successful global business providing Table Art for events that give us that confidence to state it.

What Is It That Makes Table Centrepieces So Cost-Effective?

It’s simple. It boils down to science.

Table centrepieces are strategically placed in the middle of the table in front of guests. In the field of vision for guests 80% of the time, it’s impossible not to make an impression. Your guests comment on how stunning they look, take sharp intakes of breath, and as the MC steps up onto the stage, the table art dims and they comment on how beautiful the room looks.

There’s nothing else that has this impact for such a comparatively low cost.

They can then be utilised in content campaigns later on.
