Launched in the not so distant 2010, Scarlet oozes Luxury, it is the feel you get from the moment you utter their name to the second you see their handmade designs.
♥ For those that do not know, tell us a little bit about Scarlet Event Design.
Scarlet specialises in Luxury wedding and event design. In particular, we specialise in Luxury Wedding stages and Mandaps for Asian weddings. We also offer Floral Design, Luxury Furniture Hire, Prop Hire and the UK’s largest range of Linen/Chair covers. Scarlet launched in 2010 with an aim to provide a Bespoke and Luxury event decor service. Since then we had an absolutely amazing response and a surge in demand for our services. The vast majority of our work comes from personal recommendation and because the client has seen our work at a previous wedding. Our clients approach Scarlet specifically for what we do and because they want a luxurious and classy look for their wedding.
♥ Who are the people behind ‘Scarlet Event Design’?
Scarlet was the idea of Creative Director Marc who, with a background in luxury visual merchandising, and a passion for Asian weddings, wanted to provide a service offering nothing less than excellence. Always striving to be the best at everything he does, Scarlet was a natural way of providing the very best in Luxury event design to the Clients who have high expectations and want only the best for their wedding.
Sajid our Operations Director celebrates his 10th year in the wedding industry. A background in Event management naturally led him into the Wedding Industry. His experience and charisma firmly keeps him as the number one contact person for many within the Asian wedding industry when it comes to anything Event related.
♥ What inspired the companies name ‘Scarlet’?
The name was inspired directly by the colour Scarlet. We wanted to portray a feeling of luxury and there is nothing more luxurious than Red Velvet. However the colour red is used everywhere and is the first colour that comes into someone’s mind when you ask a couple to think of a colour. We didn’t want to be the same as everyone else, we wanted to be different, something to think about and explore in more detail, which is why we chose the colour Scarlet. Although very similar to Red, its a different shade. A person who remembers the colour Scarlet, knows exactly what they are looking for, just like our Clientele.
♥ Is there a fashion when it comes to Mandap designs /decor? If so, do you find brides are quite responsive to these trends?
There is always a fashion when it comes to Mandaps. It’s usually the newest and most glamorous thing that comes in and many brides are after the same look. However we don’t follow trends or copy idea’s and our clients that hire us specifically want a classier look rather than the usual trend that is going on at that time.
♥ Do you find yourself reading bridal magazines to stay on-trend?
We do read Bridal magazines all the time, probably more because we love Asian weddings than to keep up with the latest trends! We do stay on top of what everyone else is doing however so we can do the opposite, which is why our clients love us. We are a company that people approach because they want a luxury wedding and love the things we have/do rather than just follow something that has been done hundreds of times over.
♥ What are your most requested services?
Our clients tend to have Scarlet firmly in mind a very long time before their wedding and so they know that we specialise in everything design related. Although the Mandap and Wedding stage is always the focal point of any wedding, we stress that for the complete finishing look, never forget the tables, chairs and lighting. White linen and Chair covers simply don’t work any more, which is why we offer bespoke table linen and luxury chairs. We work alongside some of the best florists in the UK providing an unlimited floral design service. We have bespoke luxury props and more. Although we do blog regularly on our website and facebook page, much of our portfolio and services can only be viewed by appointment only.
♥ Do you find you attract a certain type of bride?
Our Brides usually hire a luxury venue for their wedding and want to spend a lot of money to achieve a very classy and luxurious look. They have been dreaming about their big day for many years, have spent a long time planning it and know exactly what they want, who they want to hire and have a very large budget.
♥ What is it that you love most about what you do?
What I love most about being an event designer is creating something breath-taking and to know that I was responsible for it. To look at the Bride’s face as she walks in, knowing we gave her more than what she expected, the compliments from all the guests but most of all the genuine Thanks we receive from all of the family at the end of the celebration. Knowing we did someone proud and they now consider you as part of the family is probably the best feeling. Sajid, our Operations director still has clients calling him for their family weddings after 10 years.
♥ Looking back at your past few years in business, which wedding or event has been your most fun to plan?
I can't point to any specific wedding as they have all been stressful to plan! Although the end result has always been worth the stress. However the ones I enjoy most are the smaller, more intimate weddings where we can relax, take our time and create something beautiful.
♥ What is the future for ‘Scarlet Event Design’?
Every year we look to become better at what we do, this year saw the launch of our new 2012 collection of luxury furniture and table centres, as well as a bespoke Mandap being designed exclusively for us. Our passion for creating amazing events has led us into some of the Capitals most exclusive venues. Also we have expanded into Jewish and English weddings and over the course of the next 12-18 months we expect to become one of the biggest names in the UK wedding industry.
Wow, Scarlet Event design are a luxury brand, that work extremely hard and beautifully to bring together some of the finest weddings I have come across. I would like to thank Marc and his team of experts for their input and fabulous-ness.
