RDO Gala

OBJECTIVE

Create a styled, on-brand gala for a predominantly male audience of engineers, apprentices, and operations staff. The client wanted the space to feel elevated and professional – styled without being overly “pretty” – and to reflect the event’s overarching theme of growth while subtly incorporating brand colours.

WHAT WE DELIVERED

We styled the event with a neutral palette, using natural textures and masculine-leaning greenery rather than traditional florals. Custom table numbers, printed menus, and layered table centrepieces ensured a polished look without veering into overly decorative territory. Sand-coloured LED candles added warmth, while a mix of high and low arrangements created dimension across 60 tables.

To reflect the event theme, “growth,” we installed a striking central feature: a large tree positioned in the corner of the room, uplit in green and yellow to align with the company’s branding. Hanging from the branches were hand-strung name tags, each representing a team member, carefully crafted in varying lengths for a natural, thoughtful effect.
