About Upside Down Events

Upside Down Events is a small Sydney styling and planning studio run by Lilac and Amy, working out of Croydon in the inner west. Lilac leads the design side and brings more than ten years of logistics and project management to it, while Amy keeps the day on track. Their look leans artful and a little unexpected: rooms wrapped in draped fabric, sculptural floral pieces running along the floor, mirror balls hung from the ceiling and custom signage, rather than a pre-packaged prop set. Weddings are the bulk of their portfolio, with recent work at The Mint, the Art Gallery of NSW, Carriageworks, The Grounds of Alexandria and private homes. They also style corporate events, including gala and cocktail nights, award nights, product launches, fundraisers, themed parties and Christmas parties, where they can act as both stylist and planner. For those jobs they handle furniture hire from selection through to pack-down, bring in florists, advise on lighting, and coordinate marquee, prop and catering suppliers so the timelines line up. Surprise marriage proposals are the third strand, built around the couple's story, and their galleries also include a vow renewal and a puppy shower. Every job begins with a complimentary consult over coffee or tea, after which they suggest a budget, since no two events are costed the same way. Set-up and pack-down are included in their styling packages. On styling-only bookings they usually stay until the formalities begin; on planning packages they stay for the whole event. They suit couples and companies who want a designed, personal result rather than stock decorations.

Service Details

Every booking starts with a complimentary consultation, followed by a concept and a vision board for the look. Styling packages cover set-up before the event and pack-down afterwards, with the team usually staying until formalities begin; planning packages keep them on site for the whole event. For corporate events they can manage furniture hire (selection, delivery, arrangement and pack-down), work with florists, advise on lighting such as candles, chandeliers and stage lighting, and coordinate marquee, prop hire and catering suppliers. Proposal packages are tailored to the couple and can include location ideas and a styled setting.
