Hella Huizinga Wedding & Event Design (NETHERLANDS)
Behind the mesmerizing floral masterpiece of Hella Huizinga Events lies the creative genius of Hella Huizinga herself. This Dutch visionary masterfully wove together a tapestry of blooms, juxtaposing the timeless beauty of Türkiye’s national flowers – tulips and roses – with an air of elegance.

Percy Sales Events (USA)
Percy Sales, founder of Percy Sales Events, recently shared his design perspective, revealing a wealth of inspiration drawn from the vibrant art scene across Türkiye. He notes that his table, much like the country’s eclectic mix of street art and antiquities, is filled with textures, colors, and history that stimulate his imagination and fuel his creativity.
The abundance of visual stimuli throughout the country has a profound effect on him, transporting him to a world where ‘eye candy’ abounds and his mind wanders to places of wonder, hope, and creation. S&S Visual Maker’s photography beautifully captures this essence.

David Beahm’s design masterfully captured the essence of the nation’s flag color – red, featuring a table adorned with delicate lamps and gracefully falling red roses. His creative genius extended to the incorporation of Turkish elements, including traditional Turkish glassware and lamps at each seat, which added an authentic touch to the overall ambiance. The photographer, S&S Visual Maker, beautifully captured this stunning scene.
Monsieur Froonck (GERMANY)
Turkiye’s opulence was the inspiration behind Monsieur Froonck’s stunning candlelit arrangement, which showcased the majestic gold-tinged flowers and succulent fruits in all their glory. To elevate the atmosphere, he cleverly incorporated delicate musical ballerina boxes at each guest’s place setting, infusing the evening with a touch of enchanting whimsy.
Toni Briess– Level Paris (FRANCE)

Frieha Altaf– Catwalk Events (PAKISTAN)
The concept of ‘Rumi’s Veranda’ is a testament to the power of unity and connection, as shared by Frieha Altaf from Catwalk Events. For her, a table embodies love and harmony, serving as a gathering place where people can come together, share meals, and forge deeper bonds through conversation and mutual care. This resonates with Sufi principles that emphasize cultivating love, humility, and compassion in one’s relationship with both God and humanity.
Inspired by this connection between Türkiye and Pakistan, Altaf’s table design aims to capture the essence of dervishes and Sufis through artistic representations, echoing the values of unity and togetherness. The accompanying photography by S&S Visual Maker beautifully complements this vision.
