Shop window decorations for every season

Author: Magdalena RabaWielki Dzień, a wedding decoration studio in the Tri-City

We will prepare a window display for your shop, café, restaurant or salon in Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia and throughout Pomerania. It can be a window for a single occasion, such as Valentine’s Day, Easter or Halloween, or decorations for the whole year that we change following a calendar we agree on together. We will agree the installation time with you, ideally in the morning before opening or after closing. Installation and removal are included in the price of the decorations.

  • A proposal and quote within 24 hours
  • Travel charged separately, priced in the offer
  • Installation and removal included in the decoration price
  • We issue VAT invoices

Example shop window decoration packages

Three seasonal packages and one for an ongoing arrangement throughout the year. We will match the size of the decorations to the window’s dimensions, and the colours to the products on display or your brand colours. We cover Christmas windows separately, on our page about Christmas decorations for businesses.

  • A window for Valentine’s Day and Women’s Day

    A Valentine’s Day window in red, or in a calmer palette of burgundy, powder pink and cream. If we focus on flowers rather than hearts, the same decorations can stay in place after 14 February for Women’s Day.

    • Preserved or artificial roses and other flowers, which last longer behind glass than fresh ones
    • Heart-shaped balloons or a balloon garland along the edges of the window
    • Fresh roses or tulips for Valentine’s Day itself, when the decorations only need to stay up briefly
    • Warm lights that make the window visible after dark
    • An arrangement in the same palette for the counter or a small table by the entrance

    Best for: Cafés, restaurants, cake shops, boutiques and jewellery shops that people visit in February for a date or to buy a gift.

  • A spring and Easter window

    Light colours, greenery and flowers that, after the winter, are noticeable from the street straight away. We will choose the Easter accessories so they can be removed after the holiday while the window stays spring-themed.

    • Pussy willow and blossom branches, fresh or artificial, in tall vases
    • Potted tulips or hyacinths just for the Easter holiday itself
    • Painted Easter eggs and Easter bunnies in the window’s colours or your brand colours
    • Moss, grasses and light wood as the base of the arrangement
    • A pastel balloon garland around the window or door

    Best for: Bakeries, cake shops, cafés and shops inviting customers in for their Easter shopping, and any business that wants to refresh its window after the winter.

  • An autumn and Halloween window

    Pumpkins, colourful leaves and dried flowers for the autumn weeks, plus orange and black balloons for Halloween. We can also prepare a friendly version without scary figures, which will not frighten the youngest passers-by.

    • Decorative pumpkins in several sizes, real or artificial
    • Leaves, grasses and dried flowers in rust, mustard and brown
    • An orange and black balloon garland for Halloween
    • Little ghosts, bats and smiling pumpkins in the version for children
    • Warm lights for long autumn evenings

    Best for: Toy shops, family-friendly cafés and indoor play centres, and in the autumn-only version, boutiques, bookshops and restaurants too.

  • A year-round window

    When we start working together, we agree a calendar of changes for the whole year: which occasions matter to your business and when the window should change. At each change, we install the new decorations and take away the previous ones, so nothing is left behind in your back room.

    • Occasions that matter to your customers, such as Mother’s Day, the summer holidays or the start of the school year
    • A single palette or your brand colours linking one set of decorations to the next
    • Installing the new decorations and collecting the previous ones at each change
    • The same decorations at several locations, if you have more than one
    • A Christmas window as one of the dates in the calendar

    Best for: Shops, cafés, restaurants and salons that want a well-kept window all year round but have no time to keep track of each change.

These sets are a starting point rather than a fixed price list: we tailor each one to your date, venue, colours and number of guests, and you can combine elements from different sets.

Shop window decoration ideas

  • Brand colours all year round

    Ribbons and fabrics reproduce a brand colour most faithfully. We will match balloons to it from the available range of shades and treat flowers as an accent, because not every shade is available in every season. If each successive display repeats the same colours, passers-by will recognise your business even as the window changes with the seasons.

  • Your products take centre stage

    Decorations should draw the eye to your products, not hide them. That is why we will leave space in the centre of the window, at a passer-by’s eye level, for the products you want to show, and arrange the flowers, branches and balloons around them.

  • Mother’s Day in flowers

    For a few weeks before Mother’s Day on 26 May, a window full of flowers reminds passers-by about a gift for their mum, so it is a good theme for perfume shops, cake shops and jewellery shops. In May, the sun is already hot behind the glass, so for that whole period we suggest artificial or preserved flowers, with fresh ones only for the day itself.

  • A seaside window for summer

    In summer, a palette of navy, white and sand works well in the Tri-City and seaside towns: artificial grasses and white flowers instead of fresh or dried ones. In hot weather, balloons behind glass can burst, especially dark ones, so it is better to do without them in a sunny summer window.

  • A window visible after dark

    In autumn and winter, it gets dark as early as the afternoon, and that is when windows that glow are easiest to see from the street. We will arrange warm lights woven into the decorations to keep reflections in the glass to a minimum and avoid dazzling passers-by.

  • Several locations in one style

    If you have several shops or cafés, for example in Gdańsk and Gdynia, we can decorate their windows in the same palette. We will schedule the installation separately for each location, so that it fits around its opening hours.

A window display that works in two directions

From the street, the window needs to make passers-by stop, while from inside it must not take light from the interior or hide your products. So we plan the decorations to take up the edges of the glass, the windowsill or a display platform, leaving the centre for what you want to show. Before quoting, we will ask for photographs of the window from outside and inside, along with its approximate dimensions.

Shop windows in shopping centres may be subject to rules set by the centre, so if your premises are in one, send us those rules together with the photographs. If the glass and frame need to remain unmarked, we will agree with you how to attach the decorations before installation.

Which flowers and balloons work well in a window

Behind the glass, sun and warmth work just as they do in a greenhouse, so fresh flowers wilt there much faster than in a vase on the counter. For decorations that will stay up for several weeks, we suggest dried, preserved or good-quality artificial flowers, and keep fresh ones for short occasions, such as Valentine’s Day itself or an opening day. In a window that gets sun for most of the day, dried and preserved flowers also fade over time, so artificial flowers work better there.

We fill window balloons with air, because they hold their shape longer than helium ones. In full sun, latex turns matt more quickly, and in hot weather balloons can burst, especially dark ones, so for a sunny window we generally suggest balloons for shorter occasions. In a north-facing window or one shaded by the building opposite, balloons will stay up longer.

What determines the price of window decorations

The biggest factors are the size of the window and how many windows or locations we are decorating: a single café window is a different task from several windows of a shop on a street corner or all the branches of a chain. Materials matter too, because fresh flowers, preserved flowers, good-quality artificial flowers and balloons differ in price and in how long they last behind glass.

With an ongoing arrangement, how often the window is to change also matters, because each change means new decorations and another installation. Installation and removal are included in the price of the decorations. Travel is charged separately, but we state its cost in the offer from the start. We do not publish a price list, because every window has different dimensions, light and products, so we prepare each quote for the specific premises.

How we work

  1. Tell us what you are planning

    The occasion, date, venue and approximate number of guests. A photo of the venue, garden or beach is very helpful.

  2. Proposal and quote

    We will get back to you within 24 hours with a proposal and quote. Travel costs from Gdańsk are included in the quote from the start, so you know the full amount before booking.

  3. Refining the details

    We work with you to choose colours, flowers, signs and accessories, so the set suits your venue and occasion.

  4. Installation before opening or after closing

    We agree the installation time with you, ideally in the morning before opening or after closing, when there are no customers inside. Installation and removal are included in the price of the decorations, and when we decorate your window all year round, we take away the previous decorations at each change.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to decorate a shop window?

The price depends on the size of the window, the number of windows and locations, the materials and how often the decorations are to change. Tell us where your premises are and send a photograph of the window with its approximate dimensions, and we will reply with a proposal and quote within 24 hours.

How often should you change your window decorations?

There is no single rule: it is worth changing the window when the season changes or when an occasion that matters to your customers comes round. Decorations made with fresh flowers need replacing more often than those made with preserved or artificial ones. With an ongoing arrangement, we will agree a calendar of changes for the whole year with you.

Do you decorate windows outside opening hours?

Yes, ideally when there are no customers inside: in the morning before opening or after closing, at a time agreed with you. We will also arrange in advance who will let us in.

Will fresh flowers last in a shop window?

For a short time, yes, but the sun and heat behind glass speed up wilting, especially in a south-facing window. When decorations need to stay up for several weeks, we suggest dried, preserved or good-quality artificial flowers, and keep fresh ones for short occasions, such as Valentine’s Day itself.

Do you issue VAT invoices?

Yes, we issue VAT invoices. You can give your company details for the invoice in your initial enquiry.

Is travel charged separately?

Yes, travel is charged separately. We travel from our studio in Gdańsk to businesses throughout the Tri-City and Pomerania, for example a boutique in Kościerzyna or a café in Puck, and we state travel costs in the initial offer alongside the decoration quote. Installation and removal are already included in the price, so you know the full amount before deciding.
