A Venue that fits the theme
The venue is a HUGE aspect of this theme. A huge industrial/factory space works great for this theme. Some industrial venues that work great in Singapore are

Lighting – Edison bulbs and Neon Signs
Regardless of the theme, lights play a major role in transforming a space. For industrial spaces, think of lights that would be relevant to such a space ie. edison bulbs that are reminiscent of an assembly line.

Additionally, neon Signage is an integral part of the look – look no further than a huge neon light sign to create a fancy backdrop/ statement for your.
Foliage
While foliage is a defining element for rustic or botanical themes – it plays a pivotal part in this one as well. Furthermore, foliage gives the impression of raw, overgrown, untended to nature that could well if done in moderation without overpowering the industrial elements.
Metallic arch or frame
Metallics are great to complement the dullness and blandness of a grey /dark background or wall.
Don’t shy way from experimenting with props
Feel free to go the extra mile and experiment with props and designs to liven up the space. Anything from dried flowers to candles and anything in between can be mixed together to create a beautiful and stunning effect.
