Decorating: Transform Your Event Venue
Transform your event venue; you’ll be surprised to find out how much you can do with almost nothing,your decorations can easily transform a very "plain" venue into a stunning venue. By following a few simple guidelines you can change the whole atmosphere and ”feel“ of your venue. With a few simple steps you can change a dark room into a romantic venue or you can change a simple room to a stunning venue for your function. Start by deciding what kind of atmosphere you want and take it from there. All venues need some kind of decorations to make it suitable for your specific purposes. For lots of ideas on wedding decorations I can recommend "Amazing Wedding Planner."
Here are a few pointers to help you:
1. Color:
It is always a good idea to start planning your decorations with your color scheme. Add some boldness to your decorations by getting some tasteful materials like cloths and other decorations to start of the decorations of your venue. The cloths and other decorations can add color and boldness to your decorations. If you get a lot of long sheets of interesting fabric you will be able to add both color and boldness to the venue. You can let them hang from the ceiling or have them gently flow through the room. Your creativity need not have any limits when it comes to adding colors and boldness. The only thing that you want to avoid is colors that will be too bright for the occasion. If you are going for romance stick with red hues; if you are going for party, stick with some of the brighter and bold colors. The decorations are at your discretion, but first, you need to make sure that you don't have any limits because of venue rules. Simply ask before signing a contract for the venue. Remember not to overdo your drapings as it can then become suffocating.
2. Smaller Decorations:

Make use of smaller items in your decorations to create accents in your room. Browsing low cost craft shops can give you lots of ideas for small articles to use as accents. Preparing for a function is a big part of the fun, so, have fun with making these. You can use seashells, petals, artificial pearls, leaves and any conceivable article in creating accents in your decorations. For a glittering effect you can use cheap crystals, you can even add glitter by applying some glue to leaves and flowers and then sprinkling glitter on them before the glue dries.
3. Flowers:
Do not scorn your traditional flower when considering your decorations. Flowers add a festive ”feel“ and can be used in many ways to create decorations. When it comes to romance, you can't get any more romantic than with rose petals and pearl beads. If you are on a budget, you can find plenty of items such as fake crystals, pieces of glass, stones, and other items to place on the tables to create accents. Usually your table centerpieces are the main focus of your decorations and it is well worth spending time on them. Remember your flowers need not be arranged in the traditional way. Flowers floating in water with some floating candles can create a very romantic atmosphere. It is even possible to only float petals and candles; just think of all the possibilities for Valentine’s Day! By using flowers you can change the appearance of the room entirely.
Flowers tend to make the whole venue seem brighter and glowing. For radiance, you should definitely use flowers and place them, not only on the tables, but at other ”dull“ areas of your venue. You don't have to go overboard with the flowers, but even if you are on a budget, you should be able to squeeze in a few precious flowers here and there. Plan your color scheme so that you can use flowers in season as they are always quite a bit cheaper. It is almost impossibel to have stunning decorations without ANY flowers, so squeeze some into your budget.
4. Creating Height:
If you want to add some height use tall items in your decorations to add some height to the room. You can use items such as pillars or tall candle holders to get the dimensions going. If you have a small area, the height will give you some added depth and create the illusion that your venue is actually larger than it is. Remember that you can also add size to your venue with the use of mirrors in your decorations. The use of tall centerpieces is another great way of adding height. When considering items to use for height, make sure you use items that cannot be knocked over easily. You do not want your guest hurt by falling decorations! Make very sure of this most important safety precaution.
5. Unity:
One very important thing to bear in mind is: although you want color and a festive mood, do not overdo the colors. Work out a color scheme and use it throughout for your table cloths, napkins, flowers, candles and other decorations. Use only a few colors that blend well and stick to them. Too many colors will give the venue a ”busy“ feeling and will not add to the occasion.
6. Use of Furniture:
However, it might not be the décor of the room, but the size of the room that is not ideal. By changing the tables in the venue, you will be able to make the room feel smaller or bigger. For rooms or venues that are smaller, you should use round tables. The round tables will give the illusion of space and your guests will be able to feel it. If you want to make a larger room appear smaller you can use long tables to fill up the room or venue a little more.
7. Lighting:
The last very important tip is the lighting. You have to take lighting into consideration when planning your decorations. The lighting is everything in creating the right mood. If you want your guests to be aware of what is happening, for instance during a dinner for charity, and place bids or donations, you will want the lighting to be fairly bright. This will get the attention of your guests without giving them a headache. For a romantic atmosphere the lighting must be dimmed a whole lot more. Once again your candles play a very important role here. Nothing creates atmosphere like candles. The candles can be used as part of your flower arrangements, they can be part of your centerpieces and they can be used in large high candlesticks or ”candleholders“. Use candles to light up dark areas in your venue. Although dimmed light are very romantic, you do not want areas of your venue to be too dark, for those areas use extra candles as part of your decorations.
8. Cheap decorations:
Remember, when it comes to decorating a venue, a lot can be done with flowers, sticks, leaves and spray paint or glitter. Stick to your color scheme, but, otherwise let your imagination go. If there are children involved in the function, let them help with suitable crafts, kids love being involved.
9. Chocolate:

Using chocolate truffles as part of your decorations serves a double purpose. You have an after dinner treat for your guests and you have stunning centerpieces. Arrange the truffles in an appealing way on a decorated plate and ”voila“ you have a stunning centerpiece. You can also make a very appealing decoration by combining chocolate and flowers. You can never go wrong with a combination of chocolate and flowers.
