Job description

Blossoms Events is a full-service event design and production company based in Murrells Inlet, SC. We specialize in unforgettable weddings and bespoke private events, designing and building bespoke installations from custom bars, seating and dance floors to floral installations, signage, and large‑scale decorative structures. We’re a tight‑knit team of creatives who love bringing big ideas to life—and having fun doing it. We curate extraordinary experiences that combine artistry, innovation, and flawless execution. Our events are known for their sophisticated aesthetics, meticulous attention to detail, and personalized guest experiences.

The Role

We are seeking an Event Fabrication Artist—a hands‑on maker, visual problem‑solver, and material explorer—who can transform abstract ideas into tangible, immersive event environments.

This role is for someone who doesn’t just build, but concepts through materials: asking What should this be made of? How can we achieve this look? What’s the smartest, most beautiful way to bring this vision to life? You’ll work at the intersection of art, design, and fabrication, creating bespoke décor elements that feel intentional, sculptural, and unforgettable.

What You’ll Create

• One‑of‑a‑kind décor pieces including sculptural backdrops, arches, dimensional walls, props, scenic installations, and textural elements
• Custom surfaces and finishes through paint, plaster, fabric, foam, resin, paper, vinyl, wood, and mixed media
• Experimental builds that require creative thinking, mockups, and material testing—not just following instructions

Responsibilities

Creative Problem Solving & Concept Execution

• Translate design concepts, inspiration imagery, and creative direction into physical form
• Determine how something should be built—selecting materials, finishes, and construction methods to achieve the desired aesthetic
• Prototype, test, and refine fabrication approaches before final production

  Fabrication & Artistic Execution

  • Fabricate custom décor elements with a high level of artistry and craftsmanship
  • Execute specialty finishes including textured paint, faux finishes, aging, color‑washing, staining, sculptural detailing, and layering techniques
  • Collaborate closely with carpenters, floral designers, and installers to integrate artistic elements into structural builds
  • Support on‑site installation and strike of fabricated elements
  • Adjust, troubleshoot, and refine pieces during live production environments
  • Ensure final installations feel polished, intentional, and aligned with the original creative vision
  • Maintain a thoughtful, organized, and efficient studio workspace
  • Participate in material sourcing, testing, and experimentation
  • Manage multiple projects with shifting timelines and evolving creative needs

  Who You Are

  • A maker with strong artistic intuition and hands‑on fabrication skills
  • Someone who enjoys figuring out how to make something exist, not just executing directions
  • Comfortable working across materials—wood, foam, fabric, paint, paper, acrylic, resin, or whatever the project demands
  • Detail‑driven but flexible; inventive but practical
  • Energized by creative collaboration and fast‑paced production environments

  Experience & Skills

  • Strong understanding of materials, finishes, and fabrication techniques
  • Ability to work with hand tools and shop equipment safely and confidently
  • Visual literacy—able to interpret sketches, renderings, and inspiration boards
  • Physically capable of fabricating and installing large‑scale pieces
  • Willingness to work nights, weekends, and travel as required by event schedules

  What Makes This Special

  • You’ll help invent the way each event looks—not just execute a pre‑set plan
  • No two projects are the same; creativity and ingenuity are valued as much as technical skill
  • Your ideas, material choices, and craftsmanship will be visible and celebrated
  • You’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary creative team producing high‑end, immersive environments

  Preferred

  • Background in live events, weddings, experiential marketing, large‑scale installations or other creative fabrication environment working with a variety of materials.
  • Combination of independent work, and collaboration with design, fabrication and warehouse teams
  • Occasional onsite presence during installs or load‑ins for large or complex projects
  • Fast‑paced environment requiring independent judgment and accountability
