Decorations can help to turn a somewhat typical function room into a breath-taking vision that dreams are made of.
Whilst decorations certainly need to be sympathetic to their surroundings, if executed well, they can be used to add sparkle and fizz to even the most ornate and palatial venues.
Decorations are available in a complete range of shapes and sizes, and different combinations can help to create a range of various effects. Swags of tulle, clouds of white balloons and twinkling white fairy lights can give a dreamy ambience, whilst the same fairy lights used alongside candles and floral arrangements will help to provide a sophisticated timeless look. In short, whatever theme you are looking to create, a cleverly decorated venue is essential in helping you achieve it.
When decorating the venue, there are three areas of the venue that a couple may want to consider decorating; the room(s), the tables, and the grounds.
Let's now take a look at each one in turn.
Room Decorations
The prime concern when decorating any room is to work with what exists already.
Whilst some couples will hold their reception in a modern building with relatively plain decor or limited character, others will opt for a historic venue with plush wall and floor coverings, deecadent lighting, unique features and stunning ornaments. To take such a venue and plaster it with 12ft banners would be somewhat of a sin! So rather than fighting against what is already there, assess your surroundings and work with them.
There are a number of areas in the interior of the building that couples may wish to consider decorating. These include:
-
Doorways, entrances and exits.
-
Walls, windows and fireplaces
-
The ceiling (particularly in marquees)
-
Door handles and staircases
- Any areas where the guests are likely to congregate, e.g. around seating areas, and the bar!
