Portfolio
Our work, one event at a time
Weddings, brand events and private celebrations designed by Novapetal, from a modern editorial shoot to a classic gold-and-ivory ballroom. Every project in this portfolio is a single event, shown with the whole set of photographs from it. Planning an engagement party or a rehearsal dinner? The same designers build those too.
Brand event
MacKenzie-Childs × Practical Magic 2
Novapetal designed the florals for the MacKenzie-Childs x Practical Magic 2 launch in New York. We built the arrangements for the screening room, the bar and the display tables, in the deep reds and plums of the collection, arranged into the brand’s own checked ceramics.

Influencer gifting
PUMA “Never Not Suede”
For PUMA’s Never Not Suede campaign, the London agency Socially Powerful asked us to turn the brand’s white gift bags into flower deliveries for influencers. We designed one arrangement for the whole run in soft pink and white: pink hydrangea, ranunculus, tulips and white lisianthus in a cloud of baby’s breath. Then we built nineteen of them by hand and delivered each one to its own address across New York City, Long Island and New Jersey.

Private event
A red holiday party
A holiday party dressed in one deep red. Statement arrangements of red roses, garden roses, anthurium and cymbidium orchids on the bar, with amaranthus and red branches rising out of them; red roses and white phalaenopsis orchids on a side table beneath the portrait wall; and a low rose arrangement on every cocktail table across the room.

Ballroom reception
Royal Gold
A gold and ivory reception at ballroom scale. White hydrangea, roses and stock on tall gold pedestals and trumpet vases, a flower wall and garland behind the head table, and a floral arch built for the stage.

Wedding
Merlot
One palette carried from the bouquets to the chairs and the table. Burgundy cymbidium orchids and dahlias against green hydrangea, anthurium and ivy, with white calla lilies cutting through and amaranthus trailing out of every piece.

Wedding
White & Green Classic
White hydrangea, garden roses and ruscus, kept to two colours from the aisle to the head table. A draped ceremony arch, arrangements down the aisle, then a eucalyptus and rose garland spilling into pillar candles at the reception.

Wedding
Boho Chic
A warm neutral palette of pampas grass, toffee and cream roses and white hydrangea, run through the whole day: the bridal party, the arch, the cake and a long row of centrepieces.

Private wedding
An intimate Upper East Side wedding
A small private wedding in a pastel palette: blue delphinium and hydrangea with peach dahlias, ranunculus and cream garden roses. These are the pieces photographed at our 72nd Street studio on the morning they went out.

Private celebration
A pastel baby shower
Pastel peonies, garden roses, anemones and ranunculus against a bright New York window. We built the dessert table, the compotes on the risers and the arrangements flanking the cake, all in one soft palette so the room photographed as a single set.

Editorial
Autumn Editorial
Our own autumn shoot, built to show how a New York bouquet can be cut in October. Mauve and cream garden roses with calla lilies and oak leaf, carried through a stone colonnade and a portico.

From the studio
Event pieces, before they leave
Some of our event work is only ever photographed in our studio. We build it here, take one picture and drive it to the venue. These are those pieces, each marked with the event it was made for.
Collection
Bridal bouquets
Hand-tied bouquets we have built for New York brides, in the palettes couples ask for most. Single pieces from different weddings, gathered here so you can point at a shape and a colour and say you want that one.
