When planning an event, your venue styling will play a vital role in its overall success. From setting the tone of your occasion to the desired ambience, it’s crucial to have a keen eye for the details.
But it’s easy to make the wrong choices when trying to style your venue. Sometimes a given event space just doesn’t “click” with your ideas, or you can’t settle on a format best suited to your event’s theme.
So, with that in mind, we’ve put together a list of the elements you need to consider in the styling of your venue.
1. Your Choice of Venue
There’s no doubt about it; your venue styling journey starts with the venue itself. The event space you choose will directly influence what you can (and cannot) achieve with your venue styling efforts. It could be the size of your space, the existing decor, or the structure of your venue that limits your choices.
Furthermore, your venue might take you in a specific direction with your venue styling choices. For instance, if you’ve hired a historic building with fantastic architectural features, then it’s only natural that you will want to accentuate those features within your styling brief.
2. Your Event Theme
Of course, the overall event theme will largely dictate your venue styling choices. Obviously, there will be huge differences between the venue styling of a luxury wedding and a corporate Christmas party.
With your theme decided, you will make choices based on crucial aspects of your event. For example, when styling a black-tie event, you’ll work to include elements that relate to the event’s formality. By contrast, a wedding will have plenty of floral features and soft colour palettes.
3. Your Equipment Requirements
While venue styling is decorative in nature, there are still plenty of venue styling elements that rely upon professional equipment to implement.
For instance, one of the most effective methods for transforming any event venue’s look and feel is through lighting. In particular, LED-powered uplights can transform the venue’s atmosphere and enhance the overall look of your venue.
Your equipment considerations won’t stop there, though. You’ll also have to think about items such as dance floors, special effects machines (e.g. confetti cannons and smoke machines), and other devices that you might need to make the venue “pop.”
4. Any Little Extras You Might Want to Include
Each event usually has one or two little extra pieces that act as conversation-starters or attractive features in their own right. For instance, you could have a photo booth for your wedding or a candy floss machine for a children’s birthday party. Whatever your specific choices, they help bring your guests together and add to their overall experience.
Whether you want a candy cart or a doughnut wall, these little extras could make all the difference to your event and should feature in your decision-making process.
