Decorative Item Specification
Flower Rings
Our flower rings are hung around the king poles inside our marquees, and they create a beautiful focal point which can be dressed in any way you wish. From stunning flower and foliage arrangements to supporting multiple shiny disco balls to kick start the party, they really are a blank canvas for you to personalise!
Hung from the rigging at the top of the marquee they come in either 1.5m or 4m in diameter and can be hung at any height as long as they dont touch any canvas. There is a pulley system rigged to the flower ring, which when unclipped can be lowered, dressed at floor level and then raised back up into place. We recommend having help on hand whenever lowering or raising the rings. It will need minimum 2-3 people to lift back into place depending on the weight of the foliage.
The rings consist of two rings, connected around every 30cm with a cross beam. Typically, florists use chicken wire, cable ties or string to attach foliage, flowers and other decorative items to the rings. We can also provide power to the flower rings, which can host extra lighting such as hanging bulbs.

1.5m Flower Rings – a 1.5m diameter ring, with an inner ring which sits 10-20cm inside of the outer ring. These smaller rings are made from steel and can withstand a weight up to 30kg. The ring circumference is 4.7m
4m Flower Rings – a 4m diameter ring, with an inner ring which sits 10-20cm inside of the outer ring. These
larger flower rings can take a maximum weight of 25kg. The ring circumference is 12m.
Flower Ladders
Our flower ladders are wooden ladders, stained in a walnut colour. They are 360mm wide and come in either 4m or 5.5m in length. These long wooden ladders, which are hung between two king poles can be raised and lowered using the pulley system on each pole and dressed at floor level. To raise and lower the ladders takes 2 people. The maximum weight recommended is 30kg. We can also provide power to the ladders if you wish to add any lighting, such as hanging bulbs.
Dimensions
The ladders are either 4m or 5.5m long, and are approximately 40cm wide. Typically florists use chicken wire, cable ties and string to attach foliage and flowers to the ladders.
Gripple Wires
We string the 2mm gripple wires between the king poles usually around 3.5 – 4 m high. We can also position the gripple wires to cascade down from the king poles to the wall poles creating a hanging canopy effect. These are perfect for light foliage, pompoms and other light weight decoration.
Please note – florist would need to dress them from a ladder, as they need to be hung in position before they can be dressed. Florists must provide their own equipment to dress the marquee and will need to provide their own ladders if they are required.
