Creating reusable, easy to construct and store flower walls for wedding planners, event professionals and prop hire companies. Based in Shanghai.
Even though flower walls are the perfect prop for any wedding no matter the theme, style or season, flower walls are also perfect for events!
One of our favorite companies, BeGlammed, has been slaying the flower wall game in the States with their gorgeous floral backdrop being used for multiple promotions, including most recently a GirlTalk LA, an event to empower and support women across America. What a fabulous cause!

Hello October! Wow – we can’t believe how quickly it has come around! We’re still living the last days of summer here at The Flower Wall Company and we’ve been inspired by the beautiful, elegant weddings we’ve been seeing to create Lola, our gorgeous new flower wall! And what’s even better than this elegant wonder is that for the month of October you can purchase it with 30% off!
The mix of colors in Lola – pure white and blushes never go out of style and are still hot trends for Winter 2016 weddings. The most versatile of walls. this gorgeous backdrop fits perfectly with rustic decor or a strong berry accent color maximizing the rental potential.
As always our walls are designed and created with high end pieces and Lola includes real touch orchids and custom colored blooms for that feeling of luxury that can’t be boxed in the same category as other flower walls on the market.
Lola is available to buy on our website in our three most popular sizes but we can create any size – simply drop us an email and we will be happy to provide a quotation!
October Holiday Notice!
Today we have begun the launch of our Value Range of Flower Walls, and starting from just 695USD these floral backdrops are perfect for brides to be and event planners on a budget!
We have created two stunning floral backdrops in our most popular requested colours and will be adding three more to the Value Walls section of our online store before the end of the week.
We have created this range using blooms that whilst still look pretty, aren’t life like and are made from polyester. And whilst the flowers may not be our custom coloured or designed pieces, they are still arranged in a way that ensures the overall look is still tasteful, and as always we don’t leave gaps in our flower walls nor only use 1 tone or 2 types of flowers. Variety is the spice of life after all!
As the flowers are lower in quality to what we usually work with, these value walls are definitely for more short term use and we wouldn’t recommend them to anyone looking to capitalize on long term rentals.
Currently we have cream and pink, and purple and pink designs up on our website but with three more coming before the end of the week there will be a flower wall to suit any colour scheme.
As always, you can request custom sizing for any flower wall and each backdrop is made to order.
To purchase now, simply visit our website or for more information, please email us info@theflowerwallcompany.com and we are happy to answer any questions you may have.
Get ready for red!
Our Flower Wall of the Month promotion is back and we are kicking it off in luxe style with this gorgeous red and pink design that is nothing short of a stow stopper.
With over 15 types of flowers in roses, hydrangea and orchids, this glam wall is set apart from your average floral backdrop by it’s detailing and multi layered effect.
Rich, winter colors such as bold red, crimson, deep magenta’s and dusky pinks make up this stunning backdrop in various shades, and it’s luxe look can be attributed to over 15 different types of flowers that are used setting this wall apart from similar colored walls out there.
But we don’t think this wall is just for winter – the color palette and style is versatile enough for year round weddings and events. The long stems of magenta orchids are detachable, meaning you can have the wall with or without them, and you can also customize your wall design. In the first image we have placed the orchid stems randomly but you can do anything you like with them – hang them across the top edge, down the sides, display them in pattern, anything you can think of!
September Flower Wall of the Month with out the orchid stems
With up to 30% off for the month of September only, you can purchase this stunning floral backdrop in our three most popular sizes instantly on our website, or for different sizing, please email us for a quote.
We are totally in love with this design and can’t wait to begin seeing it around the world at weddings and events!
Cheeky disclaimer!
This flower wall has been created and designed by us, The Flower Wall Company, please beware of other companies, especially those on Alibaba who send you the above images and claim the work is theirs, that they can recreate the same design, or that they are our ‘supplier’. Trust us….they’re not associated with us and are misrepresenting us, and more importantly the product they produce. More of our thoughts on the matter can be found here, and…here!

Goodbye to our beloved Etsy store!
It was a great start to The Flower Wall Company, but today we announce the closure of our Etsy store!
With the launch of our own website, we could no longer give Etsy customers the time and dedication needed to provide the great service they deserve.
We are super lucky and appreciative that our website alone can keep us so busy and we thank all our Etsy customers for their support but now with The Flower Wall Company moving to a bigger workshop, more in house designed and colored flowers, but with our own site, emails and social media to maintain, continuing an Etsy store was no longer viable.
If any customers who saw us on Etsy would like to place an order or discuss a flower wall, we welcome you to email us directly: info@theflowerwallcompany.com

We’ve been very vocal on the topic of Chinese manufacturers using our images to sell their low quality and design, and this week we have yet another two incidents of customers thinking they are either dealing with us, or the images they have been sent by a supplier are genuine when in fact the walls/archways have been designed and created by The Flower Wall Company.
This week, we saw a company in Europe posting our images to promote their own product and we knew they were not a client of ours, it’s no problem, usually a quick email solves this issue. But upon contacting the company, the client was confused as to why we were now asking them to remove the images…yes that’s right, the company in Europe thought they had already been dealing with us.
These shocking and deceptive tactics used by Alibaba manufacturers are nothing new, but to misrepresent us as a company is truly appalling. The European company had been duped into thinking they were getting flowers and flower walls from us, when in fact it was an Alibaba factory who we guarantee will use low quality imitations.
Our process explained:
We are in China, but we are not a factory, this means we are not bound into make one of a few types of flowers. We have over 15 different factories making our blooms, many to our own design and specification in colour and style, so much like the KFC or Coca Cola recipe, there is not one Alibaba seller who can claim to make a flower wall anything like ours as they simply do not have the resources, knowledge or background.
We also have non disclosure contracts, so our factories shouldn’t be selling our custom blooms to anyone else, and believe us, we check on a regular basis and being legal proceedings if a contract is broken. Why do we work with so many suppliers? Because we have been in China a long time now, know how to protect ourselves and certainly do not underestimate the scope of IP abuse. The ‘Big Four’ make a lot of money from consulting with local and international companies here advising them how to manufacturer AND protect their product at the same time, and whilst we might not be a giant like Coca Cola or a car company, the business fundamentals are no different.
The European company had been in dealings with a Chinese supplier who had used our images as a promotion of their own walls, when in reality the final product will be completely different. The European company was naturally confused and has also asked us if that means their order is cancelled, to which we had to let them know that they had not placed an order from us.
Misrepresenting who you are and the quality of your product is serious fraudulent offence in most Western countries, so we have written yet another blog post to highlight and create awareness of this problem.
In the second case this week, it was a US company who had once again been sent images from a Chinese manufacturer who claimed the images were theirs, and real. We can’t stress enough how Alibaba products are completely different from us and it’s nothing more than fraud to claim otherwise. The Alibaba sellers cannot possibly make the walls in the images,
If you are not a customer of ours but we see postings of our images, we will ask you to remove them, and then implore you to check with the company who sent you these images, as they will be 100% unrepresentative of the product you will be receiving. In other words… you have been lied to!
If this is the case, we welcome you to pass on your supplier information to us and we will be happy to deal with them.
How to know if you’re dealing with us:
You can buy direct from our website www.theflowerwallcompany.com, or email us info@theflowerwallcompany.com. We will never send an email from a non ‘theflowerwallcompany.com’ account, and you will only deal with one of two people, both native English speakers either mark@theflowerwallcompany.com or hannah@theflowerwallcompany.com. We will never contact you by ‘Whatsapp’ unless you ask us to, and we also welcome dealing with clients over the phone.
We have on average 4 inquiries a month from customers who either purchased a wall from Alibaba and it didn’t arrive, or it is really poor quality and have turned to us. We believe this is mostly because customers are being sent our images to get a quick sale, but the reality is no Alibaba or Chinese manufacturer can replicate the quality and design in the images.
If you think you have been duped and would like to check, email mark@theflowerwallcompany.com and we will be happy to help.

We’ve been quite vocal in the past over image theft of our flower walls (and other hard working companies) on Alibaba – and once again we have found Alibaba sellers posting not just our images, but also claiming they are the original creator of that wall, and that any wall purchased will be the same as the one in the photo – our photo.
Getting the images removed is easy enough, but it is like playing whack a mole. We dedicate time almost daily to trawling Alibaba to see if there is any more image theft, but what we cannot do is make sure the sellers aren’t privately sending customers messages making the same claims.
In previous blog posts, we’ve been polite enough not to embarrass Alibaba traders caught in the act, but on this occasion there was such a blatant theft of our images that we wont be doing that. The company who we spent hours dealing with this week had also previously posted our images and other companies on their Instagram and removed them when we called them out on it. But then we found our images were back on their two (and more) Alibaba sites.
So, Guang Zhou Su Kang Ltd aka DY Artificial aka Frank aka Wendy aka about five other companies – (it is VERY easy to become an Alibaba seller, and the ‘ratings’ mean nothing, be warned!) we are not sparing your blushes any more. Stealing images is one thing, but misrepresenting yourselves and us is a completely different ball game. We admit we get angry that our product is being touted by those who have nothing to do with it, except a goal to hit sales targets through blatant deception.
A quick screen grab of their Alibaba sites before they removed all the images with threat of legal action from ourselves shows that they are using all images from other companies hard work, labor and love. A quick chat to them had them tell us they made the walls themselves, a statement we know is a lie.
None of these images belong to the seller, nor are the walls made by them.
This company wasn’t claiming these were ‘inspo’ images, they were outright telling us they were the creators of this wall and had watermarked them to protect them against being stolen!
Image was taken inside our workshop – note the extra images you could also scroll to, including one of a REAL flower wall
Flower Wall created by our sister company Highlife Asia Weddings back in 2014
The two Instagram profiles of the company who also used images from us and other companies to claim the work as their own.
Alibaba is a wholesaler focused on cheap price and materials in a country that has well publicized struggles with intellectual property rights, copyright infringement and honest business dealings. The companies on Alibaba that sell flower walls will never be able to create the same high quality product as us, because our business model is very different. We aren’t a factory with wholesale goals, we are dedicated to high quality floral backdrops made by a small team with a passion for and background in design. We love seeing our walls in use at weddings, events and shows around the world, and everything we create is crafted in our workshop in Shanghai by the same people who you email, speak to, and who write these blogs. We just don’t do cheap or second rate.
The company above in all its guises isn’t a supplier, affiliate or anything of us, and you can see from their own flower walls images they now have to use, the product is completely different.
Not our taste level nor style, and we do not use these low quality flowers
We have never claimed, or aimed to be cheap. We deliver quality and beauty before price. We know expectations, design and styling of the international market because we are an international team and will never sell on Alibaba nor produce the same low quality items that are available on there.
Not only do we work very hard to maintain a professional website with gorgeous designs and flowers that are unique to us, but we actually love what we do, and you can see that in every flower wall we make, and it’s why our high standards and hustle have got us featured and used in magazines around the globe.
We will continue to check Alibaba every day for our and other companies images, and continue to get them removed, but if it saves one more person from being duped into a low quality product, then it’s worth it to us!
