Events large or small still aren’t 100% back to normal yet. However, that doesn’t mean you should skip out on proper decor and aesthetics when putting together even the smallest events. To make the most out of the evening, use these must-know tips for decorating events beautifully.
Consider Natural Lighting
If your event calls for a touch of elegance and warmth, consider using natural light to illuminate the venue. When you first visit the venue, look for windows with great access to direct sunlight and, even better, a brilliant view. Opening up the blinds to show off that view and natural light will make the whole venue feel more spacious and welcoming. Natural lighting won’t always be the right option; if the window position or time of day isn’t in your favor, you’ll have to use decorative artificial lighting instead. However, if you do have access to sunlight for your event, allowing it to shine through the windows will add a surprising amount of grace to the atmosphere.
Get Creative With Colors
When it comes to must-know tips for decorating events beautifully, finding the right palette is arguably the biggest. Don’t always stick to the venue’s current color scheme; try bringing a fresh perspective to an event space. For example, business events are a great place to use company logo colors as the basis of your palette—this solution sticks to the event theme while giving you a fun way to add new colors to the venue. On the other hand, looking at the event space’s color scheme and finding a stylish way to create contrast can make the decor really pop. Even if the venue looks nice already, update the decor to make the whole space weave into your event theme more naturally.
Find Fabulous Fabrics
Event fabrics are convenient tools for boosting the lavishness of any venue. Fabrics come in many different forms. For instance, pipe and drape backdrops completely transform walls, covering them up in favor of fabric with stunning color and texture. Likewise, ceiling drapes cascade overhead, giving you a chance to cover every area of the event space with color, texture, and most importantly, a personal touch. However, be sure to follow the right steps to understand and secure fire-retardant event fabric, which is a wider topic than many realize. Suffice it to say, you shouldn’t make a design choice that excessively increases health and safety risks during the event.
