Whether you’re a seasoned event planner or a first timer, event organisers always aim to have a successful impact.
Some planners can spend large amounts on creating an attractive event design but not everyone has access to large budgets. So, how can you fashion an event to wow your attendees without going over budget?
Cover the walls
There are few things worse than a venue filled with empty walls. The emptiness and lack of character can have an impact on the overall feel of the event.
To combat this, fabric and paper are a cost-effective choice for transforming the décor. Draping the materials down the walls transforms the event from bland to unique and engaging. Draping can also be used as a separation tool to divide a larger space into smaller segments.
Using photographs and artwork is another way of adding visual impact to your event. Large displays of artwork can be expensive, but if you research and pick out local, lesser-known artists, you can get special pieces to place at your event. Some artwork will be available at no charge so long as you list their work as items for purchase.
Food and drink displays
For events that last a full day or if they’re gala dinners and business lunches/seminars, food and drink is an important choice for planners.
Food and drink can be pieces of artwork in their own right, too. These displays can be on a designated food area or on each table as a unique centrepiece. Present your food in a glamorous fashion to create a focal point of interest for guests.
Alternative venue location
Most events are held in generic everyday settings – but you could try and think outside of the box. There will be a range of potential unique and quirky venues in most towns and cities, it’s down to you to find them.
Event furniture
As well as the other design elements, you will need some practical and functional pieces to make sure your event is as practical as it is visually appealing.
Any event design needs to be entwined with the right event furniture. Our banquet furniture selection runs from chairs and tables to trolleys. The banquet furniture is ideal for events and comes in different styles, designs and colours for you to match with the look of your event.
Designing the venue space is a task that many event planners look forward to most. Depending on the event, there may be few restrictions, enabling you to be creative. However, choices should be tailored to the theme and style of the event.
