How to Pick the Right Props for Your Event
Choosing the right props helps you shape the mood, guide the flow of your space and create focal points that look great in photos. After years of helping clients narrow their selections, we've created this checklist to make it simple.
- Identify your key styling zones. Start with the areas that matter most for guest experience and photography. Common zones include the welcome area, photo moment, feature table, cake table and stage.
- Match props to your colour palette. Choose pieces that support your chosen tones. Neutral plinths, mesh frames and glassware blend with most themes, while textured accents can add contrast or warmth.
- Add height and structure. Props that vary in height help frame your setup and make feature items stand out. Plinth groupings, mesh frames and risers work well for cakes, signage and florals.
- Consider how props interact with florals and balloons. If you’re adding florals or balloons, select props that support them. Plinths create strong foundations, while feature decor can balance the setting out.
- Still stuck? Use our most loved prop hire options. For Brisbane events, our clients consistently choose simple plinths, and depending on the event a fun centre piece. These pieces work across weddings, birthdays, baby showers and brand activations, helping you build a polished, cohesive look.
How Prop Hire Works With Us
Booking your decor props is straightforward and gives you flexibility depending on how hands-on you want to be. If you’re hiring props as part of a styled package, add the packages you’re interested in to your cart, complete the enquiry form and send it through. Include your date, venue and any notes or colour preferences so we can recommend the most suitable options. Our team will reply within 1–2 business days with availability and next steps.
If you prefer a DIY approach, you can book our DIY Packages directly through the website. You’re also welcome to send an enquiry if you’d like a customised DIY setup that suits your space or theme. Delivery and pickup options are available across Brisbane, and every prop arrives clean, well presented and ready for styling.
This process keeps everything simple, organised and aligned with the look you want to create, whether you’re planning a full styled event or just need a few key pieces.
