It\u2019s the most natural way to decorate, even in home decor! Think of a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2015\/03\/spring-summer-event-design-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">summer-themed event<\/a> in the dead of winter \u2013 it just <em>screams <\/em>clich\u00e9 party, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>But working with seasonal decor doesn\u2019t mean you need to sacrifice color scheme or your client\u2019s ideal centerpiece. An easy way to draw inspiration from the season is by using different variations of color. For example, in the summer you should use colors that have a warm tint, rather than cool-toned shades. This will add a subtle, seasonal touch, without forcing your clients to change their whole vision of the event.<\/p>\n<p>So no, you don\u2019t need to use holly and evergreen <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/02\/warming-up-winter-wedding-winter-decor-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">decor for winter weddings<\/a> \u2013 just allow your colors to complement the weather outside!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_with_the_foundation\"><\/span>Start with the foundation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before building any decor plans for your client\u2019s event, you need to know where it will take place. The <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2017\/05\/event-planners-venue-7-things\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">venue has a <em>huge <\/em>impact<\/a> on type of decor, sizes, table and seating layout, colors, and more. Knowing the area you have to work with will make your decor plans much easier to navigate!<\/p>\n<p>Key aspects of the venue to take note of are wall color, type of flooring, and room layout. Knowing just these three features will allow you to cater your design to the specific space. You want to plan an event that will match your venue in order to avoid harsh focal points or mismatching colors \u2013 both of which are event styling disasters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11881\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Wedding-venue-decor.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding table setting and table decor\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Wedding-venue-decor.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Wedding-venue-decor-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nod_to_neutrals\"><\/span>Nod to neutrals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To keep <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/05\/event-decor-series-creating-color-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">your client\u2019s color scheme<\/a> in check, be sure to match it with the correct neutral tones! Using the right neutrals, from beige to white to grey, will make your focal points pop and draw more attention from the guests. Too much of a bold color (or colors) will take away from the beauty of the design.<\/p>\n<p>Follow this rule: each time you plan to use a bold color, whether it be centerpieces or place settings, use a neutral color as your base. This will keep your brighter colors the main focus of the design, without overwhelming it!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Light_it_up\"><\/span>Light it up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lighting is one of the most important features of the event. Not only will it impact your guest experience, it can take a toll on photos if you\u2019re not careful! Even though most photographers can adapt to different lighting, it\u2019s best to book a venue that has good lighting.<\/p>\n<p>By good lighting we mean brightness, without being too harsh. Natural light is always ideal for capturing the true color of your event decor. Plus, natural light is great for photographing guests! Artificial light isn\u2019t always bad, but you\u2019ll want to stay away from lights that cast shadows or LED bulbs. These can compromise your event design by causing it to look washed out or dull.<\/p>\n<p>Talking to a photographer about <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/06\/event-decor-series-light-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best lighting for your events<\/a> will help you make the right call!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11882\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Event-and-wedding-lighting.jpg\" alt=\"Lighting for wedding venues\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Event-and-wedding-lighting.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Event-and-wedding-lighting-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Go_with_the_flow\"><\/span>Go with the flow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Event styling is not just about decor! Your event needs to direct traffic flow and be easy to manoeuvre through. This adds ease and comfort to the guest experience, and will nix disasters like a server tripping or a jammed up dance floor!<\/p>\n<p>Especially when working with a smaller venue, you want to make space and movement a priority. Guests should be able to move freely without smashing into a table or chairs, and they should be able to get from their seats to the bathroom to the bar quite easily. Planning for openness will change your decor plans slightly, like using hanging decorations rather than extra tables.<\/p>\n<p>Even though you might have to redesign an area or two, you don\u2019t have to sacrifice the beautiful decor!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Loud_Clear\"><\/span>Loud &amp; Clear<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019re designing your event decor and layout, be sure to factor in signage. Whether you decide to use a pamphlet or fancy flyer, or you want to build some DIY chalkboards, you need to offer guests some sort of direction! Being a guest and not knowing where or when events will be taking place is downright frustrating. A simple sign directing guests to the washroom or letting them know when cocktail hour is makes a huge difference in their experience.<\/p>\n<p>By providing them with guidance throughout the event, you\u2019re making it more enjoyable for everyone. No nonsense questions for you, and the host won\u2019t hear any complaints!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"447\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11883\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DIY-Wedding-Signs.jpg\" alt=\"Signage for Events and Wedding venues\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DIY-Wedding-Signs.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DIY-Wedding-Signs-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Follow_your_theme_through\"><\/span>Follow your theme through<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2017\/05\/corporate-event-themes-totally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">themed events are starting to lose their grip<\/a>, we still love the idea of having a continuous style throughout the night! From beginning to end, make sure you\u2019re designing every aspect of the event with a similar style. Starting with invitations, choose your color scheme and fonts wisely \u2013 you should be keeping these as the event standard!<\/p>\n<p>Not only will this make your event style look organized and flawless, you\u2019ll get some fabulous photographs to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2017\/04\/6-ways-style-wedding-planning-portfolio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">show off in your portfolio<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Establish_vendor_attire\"><\/span>Establish vendor attire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Coordinating with vendors can be challenging if you don\u2019t have much experience, but most vendors are used to working with terms and conditions.
