Venue Variables!



Yay! You have found a venue! It's in the perfect location...Easily accessible...  The food is great.... No ugly carpet.... Lots of windows... Maybe it has all of these things. Maybe only one or two. We all know that when searching for a venue most couples will have to make some sort of a compromise. And that's okay. Let's talk about transforming a venue that may not be THE total visual package.

Use Draping and Lighting.
Are the walls just the ugliest things you've ever seen? Draping a room can transform a space. What's worse than bright, fluorescent overhead lights when you are trying to set a mood? We suggest dimming the overhead lights, even shut them off completely if you can, and let the uplighting work its wonders. Gobos can also be used to create designs and patterns on the walls and floor.


Beautiful Linens and Tables!
Adding decorative linens to your tables will definitely add beauty to a space. With so many linens and colors to choose from the possibilities are nearly endless. Now, don't get us wrong, classic white or ivory linens can be timeless and beautiful. However, sometimes when venues need an extra boost of beauty, specialty linens could be the way to go. Maybe you hate linens, rent gorgeous tables. With more choices available now than ever before, couples are opting to rent wooden tables, acrylic tables, king tables, square tables and more!

Chair Decor...
Do NOT underestimate the look that chairs will bring to your wedding. There are so many varieties of chairs that could be rented. You could also cover chairs or add elements of decor to them (ribbons, muslin, tulle)

Bring on the HEIGHT!
Draw their attention to what's right in front of them! Use towering centerpieces. They are perfect for the not so perfect venues.  Tall centerpieces draw guests in with the perfect balance of drama and beauty. A common misconception is that taller means more expensive. That's not always the case. Candelabras, branches, feathers, even a vase of gorgeous snapdragons could be used to add elegance to your reception space.

How will you add variety to your space?
