Fresh Florals for Events in Nairobi

Low or tall?

The question is what your guests will see across the table. WeddingPlanner.co.uk, a UK planning guide, puts it simply: pick very tall centrepieces that guests can see beneath, or low ones that leave a clear view, and keep the sight line across the table in mind. Anything in between blocks a face.

The fresh flower centrepieces in our low size are made to sit in the middle of a round table. The tall flower centrepieces lift the flowers on a stand or a tall vase. The same guide notes that big spaces benefit from tall centrepieces, and a high tent or a hall with a tall ceiling is that kind of space; under a low roof, the low size fits better.

How many, and what it costs

Plan one centrepiece a table. Our round tables for hire seat 8, so 100 guests sit at 13 tables. Thirteen low arrangements come to KSh 32,500; thirteen tall ones come to KSh 52,000.

You can also mix. Alternate them, seven low and six tall, and the room gets height without every table paying for it: KSh 41,500. On a long banquet table, a tall piece every few metres with low ones between does the same job.

Flowers grown close to home

Kenya is a flower country. Government statistics quoted by The Standard show that flowers earned just over half of the country's horticulture export income in 2024, ahead of fruit and vegetables. Fresh flowers are, in other words, a Kenyan speciality.

Fresh flowers last for the event, not for the season. If you want something that can stand in the sun all day or be kept afterwards, look at our artificial florals at KSh 500 per unit, or the candle holders and lanterns in our flower arrangements for hire.

Matching the rest of the table

Pick the linen first. Choose the cloth and the napkin colour from our table linen and dressing range, then pick flower colours that sit with them. For a statement above the room, the floral chandelier hangs from a tent roof, and a floral backdrop gives the top table a wall of flowers.

Send your colours, your guest count and the table layout with your date. A 50% deposit holds it, and changes to the numbers are easiest with 48 hours' notice. For balloons, drapes and the rest of the décor, see event decor hire.
