ackowledgement
of country
In the spirit of reconciliation, the Festive store acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. We recognise the Wurundjeri of the Kulin Nation. as traditional owners and custodians of the land on which the Festive store stands.
We acknowledge that the land was never ceded, and we pay our respect to them, their customs, their culture, to elders past and present and to their emerging leaders.
our
story
The Festive Store is a boutique commercial decorator offering event and festive display design, styling, hire and installation services.
We love working with our clients to create their design dream and then bring it to life through our styling, sales, hire and installation services across Melbourne. We also have established relationships with specialty firms in custom graphic design, large scale printing, and lighting activations and installations which we call on when needed.
We are Christmas tragics and have an obsession for all festivities, you will find us dressed as the Easter bunny, trick or treating in the neighbourhood and lined up for workshops at our local shopping centre.
We specialise in large scale indoor and outdoor displays for councils, shopping centres, hospitality venues, corporate centres and offices. With a personal touch we accommodate all budgets and look to reuse and recycle clients’ existing decorations to minimise wastage. We operate throughout the greater Melbourne area.

We play to our strengths, enjoy our differences and have a common love of decorating and celebrating life’s festivities and special moments.
our
approach
Central to our decorating and installation approach is our founder, Susan’s original philosophy in starting the business over 16 years ago ” everyone is entitled to beautiful decorations, no matter where you are from, where you live or what your budget is.”
Further to this, we believe re-use and recycle is often the best approach. Where possible re-use of decorations saves your budget and to reduces landfill.
At the Festive store, we pride ourselves on our collaborative, communicative and flexible approach to all installations – we really like to connect with your need and vision. All our services are personalised, no one-size fits all, there is always some customising needed. We aim to be a joy to work with, help bring your decorating dreams to life, whilst taking away the pain, leaving you free to enjoy.
Safety (yours, ours and the community) is taken very seriously, as well as importance of fitting in with your policies and procedures. As such, we
- maintain full CM3 qualifications, updated with an audit each year
- utilise engineering reports for major props and installations,
- maintain relevant EWP and WWH, First Aid qualifications.
