There is far more involved in effectively decorating an event that simply tying up the odd balloon or offering up a few floral displays. Not only do you need to know that you are decorating effectively for the exact event you are putting on, but you also need to be sure that the decor is attractive and memorable. Even the smallest of events will need a huge amount of preparation a long time in advance.
The biggest mistake people make when it comes to decorating and preparing an event, is leaving things too late. Whilst it may seem that simply going into the space on the day with a few good ideas in your head will be all that it takes, the majority of things you are likely to want will need to be ordered long before the day.
For example, whilst fresh flowers might look lovely, they can cause allergies and even simply wilt before the event is over. As such, you may find that ordering artificial flowers is actually more beneficial.
Make sure your space looks coherent and that your decor retains continuity. For example, having many different types of table or chair covers will look extremely out of place, whilst having different types of chairs in the room will make the room seem cobbled together. This means that chair cover hire is extremely important, not just for elegance, but also to ensure that nothing stands out for the wrong reasons.
Whilst decor and chair covers are hugely important, ambience is crucial too. Make sure you set the mood in the correct way, whether that involves using candles, music or simple decorations. A huge amount of atmosphere is created by the items in the room as opposed to the people in the room. By decorating with this in mind you are likely to get a far more successful result.
So don’t leave getting your items or chair cover hire until the last minute, and be sure you know exactly what mood you want to create long before guests arrive.
