The Florist: Tuberose London. London-based florist Rosie Belben of Tuberose London provided the most elegant, whimsical and billowy flower installations at our WOTY awards, including seasonal British flowers in different sized jam jars and vases throughout the venue.
She’s big on understated designs with a discernible aroma — her flowers never feel too ‘done’ or OTT and always smell ah-mazing — just look at her Insta page, it’s a pretty floral haven. Think soft, ice-cream pastel shades arranged in loose, natural and organic-style arrangements with swathes of gorgeous green foliage.
Belben works with flowers as a Renaissance painter would work with oils. You’ll be in awe.
The Venue: HERE at Outernet
Our WOTY venue was at the brand new live event space HERE, hidden four stories under the centre of London and part of the Outernet media and culture district — an incredible event space for the digital age. HERE is the largest event space to be built in Central London since the 40s and Outernet London is the most advanced immersive space in the world with 23,000 sq ft of floor to ceiling 16K screens combining video, music and art for as truly unique, mind blowing experience.
We’ll go as far as saying this might just be London’s most atmospheric hub. Keep an eye out for events here — we reckon we’ll be seeing plenty of the coolest exhibitions, concerts and mindful workshops taking over pronto.
The Calligrapher: Stara Calligraphy
When it comes to tablescaping, we all know it’s the small details that can really amp up the style. That’s exactly why we turned to the unmatched artistry that is Stara Calligraphy to make our place card dreams a reality at the Women of the Year Awards 2022. Stara’s work is an actual artform — her insta videos showing the calligraphy process gives us serious ASMR vibes. Blending traditional and modern calligraphic styles, she creates modern and delicate words with flowy flourishes that are perfect for everything from party invitations to dinner party menus, letters to friends and more, you’ll want her on speed dial.
