HMS Diamond - Welcome home party

Event styling for the welcome home party of HMS Diamond (D34) 

We are incredibly grateful to be apart of such a significant and monumental event - the welcome home party for HMS Diamond (D34) as it returns to Portsmouth Harbour. The Royal Navy plays a vital role in maintaining global security, and it's a honor to contribute to an event celebrating such a remarkable achievement. 

 

HMS Diamond has just completed a historic deployment to the Middle East, where the ship and it's crew contributed to Maritime security, safeguarding vital shipping routes and providing critical support to international operations. This Type 45 Destroyer, known for it's advanced air denfense systems and powerful capabilities, is now home after months at sea, making this event a well-deserverd celebration for the crew and their families.

The theme of this event revolves arounf HMS Diamoond itself. Using deep red and silver balloons - the space was designed to reflect the pride and hertiage of HMS Diamond. 

 

. Table settings included silver diamonds to pay homage to the Royal Navy ship.  

 

. Backdrop settings included a red shimmer wall with a silver diamond cut out to resemble the ships crest/plague. we also carried out the theme through the balloons using the same colours throughout with personalised balloons to add that extratouch.
