PAUL’S LITTLE BLACK BOOK

Good music.
Beautiful details.

The flowers on the table. The backdrop everyone gathers around. A thank-you bouquet for someone who made it happen. Here’s where to start with the details beyond the dance floor.

FIND YOUR FINISHING TOUCH

What are you planning?

A wedding

Start with your bouquet and ceremony flowers, then consider the tables and the spaces your guests will see most. Share your palette and priorities so the team can help shape your flower enquiry.

Useful to have: your date, venue, wedding party numbers, table count and an approximate flower budget.

A birthday or celebration

A balloon display or sailboard can give the cake table a focal point and create a place for photographs. Choose a colour palette first, then build the details around it.

Useful to have: the age or occasion, colours, display space and any name or wording you’d like included.

Explore balloons & party styling

A thoughtful thank-you

For the host, the parents or the friend who helped with everything. A bouquet makes a lovely gesture before the celebration or after the busy day is over.

Useful to have: your preferred date, recipient’s postcode and a personal card message. Check delivery availability with Elegance.

Browse flower bouquets

A company occasion

Ask about flowers for reception desks, dinner tables or gifts for speakers and colleagues. For something beyond a single event, explore regular flower subscriptions for your workplace.

Useful to have: the number of arrangements, table sizes, company colours and when everything needs to be ready.

BRINGING THE DETAILS TOGETHER

One celebration.
A joined-up plan.

Booking music with Paul and flowers or styling with Elegance? Tell both teams what you have in mind, including anything already booked.

Keep one colour brief. A few reference pictures help the flowers, balloons and backdrop work together.
Agree the setup window. Ask your venue when suppliers can arrive and when the room must be ready.
Give every feature a place. Plan the DJ area, dance floor, photo spot and displays before the day.
Avoid doubling up. Some hire items are available through both businesses. Mention existing enquiries so the same item is not requested twice.

Each business confirms its own quote and booking arrangements. Dates, delivery and hire availability are checked before confirmation.

SAVE YOURSELF A LITTLE BACK-AND-FORTH

Your first enquiry, sorted.

Send your event date, venue and postcode, guest or table numbers, colour ideas, the items you’re interested in and a comfortable budget. It’s fine if some details are still to be decided.
