THE POWER OF HEIGHT IN FLORAL STYLING

In the world of floral design, height is more than just a visual element — it’s a powerful tool to control flow, focus, and atmosphere within a space. At STEM DESIGN, we use both towering installations and low-profile arrangements with purpose and precision, depending on the event style, venue layout, and client vision.
As a leading wedding florist and event florist in Brisbane, we know when to go high, when to stay low, and how to make every bloom count.
WHEN TO USE TALL ARRANGEMENTS
Tall floral designs are bold, sculptural, and attention-grabbing. They draw the eye upward and help define a room’s vertical space.
Ideal for:
- Grand venues with high ceilings or open atriums
- Corporate galas and product launches where elegance and impact are key
- Ceremony backdrops or entrance statements
- Dining tables where guests need clear line of sight underneath the blooms
Common floral choices:
- Delphinium, gladiolus, amaranthus, branches, palms, and orchids on elevated stands
Using height allows us to add volume and drama without crowding the table — a staple technique for corporate flowers and large-scale event flowers in Brisbane.
WHEN TO USE LOW ARRANGEMENTS
Low arrangements are perfect for intimacy, versatility, and subtle elegance. They can soften a setting and encourage guest interaction.
Ideal for:
- Intimate weddings, garden ceremonies, or elopements
- Boardroom events and cocktail receptions where space is limited
- Dinner tables where conversation is the focus
- Welcome desks or lounges where florals need to complement, not compete
Common floral choices:
- Roses, peonies, ranunculus, anthuriums, tulips, and compact foliage
Our team at STEM DESIGN often creates low, textured designs for weddings and branding events, where maintaining sightlines and ease of movement is essential.
COMBINING HEIGHT FOR DYNAMIC DESIGN
The most memorable floral experiences use a combination of levels. Creating visual rhythm and storytelling through elevation.
A mix of tall installations, medium centrepieces, and petite accents gives the eye multiple layers to explore and helps shape how people experience the space. This is one of the reasons why clients consider us the best event florist in Brisbane. We think beyond the bouquet.
