Special Occasions is a Cape Town florist and event decor specialist based in Ottery, Wynberg. As an Interflora member, the team delivers quality flowers through professional florists to almost any address in South Africa or abroad. Alongside its floral expertise, the business offers a comprehensive decor and hire service for weddings, functions and parties, with candles and candelabras at the heart of its event styling.
Candle hire includes a choice of candles, table stands and candelabras to create rm, atmospheric settings for ceremonies, receptions and celebrations. These items integrate seamlessly with tailored floral arrangements, ensuring centrepieces and table styling feel cohesive and polished. The decor offering extends to fairy lights, drapes and chair covers, making it easy to build a complete look from aisle to head table and through to the dance floor.
Beyond candles, Special Occasions supplies arches and bridal canopies that frame entrances, cake tables or chuppahs, as well as stage hire for speeches, entertainment and presentations. The team also provides a DJ service for wedding and function music. For finishing touches, they offer hot foil printing on serviettes to personalise place settings and keepsakes, bringing brand colours, monograms or messages into the overall design.
Balloon decor is another signature service. Clients can choose helium foil message balloons and latex balloons, or opt for balloon arches and themed balloon styling to mark milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries and baby arrivals. These elements work well alongside flowers and candlelight, adding height, colour and a sense of celebration to entrances, photo backdrops and focal areas.
The company supports a wide range of occasions. For weddings, they supply bridal bouquets, ceremony and reception flowers, arches, canopies, candles and lighting. For functions and parties, the team decorates halls and venues, combines balloon installations with floral features and candlelight, and provides practical hire such as chair covers and staging.
