They&#8217;re just like in-person events&#8230; The only difference is that they&#8217;re held online!<\/p>\n<p>Have YOU ever attended a virtual event? Moreover, did you <em>pay attention<\/em> to the virtual event you attended? Were the hosts&#8217; attire coordinated? Did they display any graphics? Did the platform have colors to match the hosts\u2019 brand?<\/p>\n<p>Behind all of these aspects are the event decorator and virtual production team. If you&#8217;ve been following along my last few blogs, you\u2019ll know that virtual events require much more than an event planner alone. It takes an entire team!

For example, event decor is used in\u00a0<em>both\u00a0<\/em>instances to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Design the event;<\/li>\n<li>Customize the space with creative branding techniques;<\/li>\n<li>Determine attendee attire;<\/li>\n<li>Co-manage graphics;<\/li>\n<li>And more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But what about differences?<\/p>\n<p>Well, an obvious difference for virtual events is that an event decorator wouldn&#8217;t physically decorate the celebration in-person. However, this doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re slacking off on the amount of work that needs to be completed! There&#8217;s still tons of effort that needs to be put into decorating a virtual event.<\/p>\n<p>Since the start of the pandemic, I&#8217;ve noticed is that the <em>location<\/em> is the main aspect of an event <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/global-survey-of-100-brands-finds-virtual-events-will-outlast-the-pandemic-301233622.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">that&#8217;s changed<\/a>. In my own business, I lead a small team. We&#8217;ve been dealing primarily with virtual events over the last year. For these virtual events, we design floors that are life-like, in order to appeal to our audiences. If it&#8217;s a wedding, we\u2019ll be sure to create a ceremony and reception (traditional to wedding culture). The only real difference is that we\u2019re <em>creating<\/em> the venue rather than picking one that\u2019s been pre-designed.<\/p>\n<p>Having the choice of different platforms, in order to meet different needs, is very similar to choosing different venues based on the needs of a <em>physical <\/em>event.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-Medium-Quality.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-Medium-Quality.jpg\" alt=\"Woman smiling and looking at laptop\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-Medium-Quality.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-Medium-Quality-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Reasons_Why_Your_Virtual_Event_Needs_an_Event_Decorator\"><\/span>5 Reasons Why Your Virtual Event Needs an Event Decorator<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>1 &#8211; Event decor attracts people on and off the platform!<\/h3>\n<p>From the moment you\u2019re invited to a virtual event, you\u2019ve witnessed the work of an event decorator. For in-person events, materials need to be chosen right from the get-go. The exact same is the case with virtual events! The right materials, colors, and decorations will take a virtual event from good to <em>great<\/em>. In fact, one could argue that we have even MORE of a creative edge with virtual events. For example, invitations will more than likely coordinate with the host&#8217;s website, RSVP, and event platform. An event decorator makes all of these components come together harmoniously.<\/p>\n<h3>2 &#8211; Event decor gives life to your event!<\/h3>\n<p>When you walk into a virtual event (so to say), one of the first things you&#8217;ll look at is the design of the event. The color selection and design concept should be able to draw you in. Platforms that allow you to be creative are <em>especially <\/em>where event decorators thrive in the virtual events industry! Even if you don\u2019t have the option to customize that platform by design, you can incorporate other elements &#8211; such as music &#8211; to grab attendees&#8217; attention.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to keep in mind is that people\u2019s faces and reactions on-screen make up a great portion of the event. So, why not call on the audience to help you? They can easily get virtually festive by dressing the part, based on whatever the theme of the remote celebration is! For instance, attendees can wear the primary color of the event. Doesn\u2019t this sound familiar to attending an in-person event?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-Medium-Quality-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19657\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-Medium-Quality-2.jpg\" alt=\"Bride and groom kissing while being filmed by a videographer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-Medium-Quality-2.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-Medium-Quality-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>3 &#8211; Event decorators are experts in color psychology!<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about how you <em>feel<\/em> throughout a virtual event. Color can influence the way your guests feel &#8211; and an event decorator will know how to maximize those colors for the desired affect! For <a href=\"\/blog\/2020\/10\/event-planning-career-organizing-virtual-networking-events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">networking events<\/a>, colors like orange and red help to stimulate ideas. You can also pair colors, such as green and blue, to encourage calm and growth-focused encounters. Lounge areas are generally neutral (think gray or brown) to encourage an even playing field for conversation and mingling. Personally, I thoroughly enjoy designing areas for various types of virtual events. This gives me an opportunity to connect with the attendees <em>visually<\/em>, without words.<\/p>\n<h3>4 &#8211; An event decorator has an eye for balance and understanding!<\/h3>\n<p>Event decorators have the pleasure of viewing an event from an overall standpoint. From the design and flow of the words on the website, to the thank-you images &#8211; the event decorator has an eye for understanding. Here&#8217;s a good example of what I mean: for an upcoming summer virtual event, I plan to set up a room designated for pre-recorded pitches! I\u2019m super excited for this opportunity to design a station for recordings. Having that station will create balance for startup companies as they present their idea\/prototype.<\/p>\n<h3>5 &#8211; Event decorators know how to visually communicate the type of event one is hosting\/attending!<\/h3>\n<p>If an event is meant to have a <a href=\"\/blog\/2021\/03\/event-planner-job-description-knowing-your-themes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">specific theme<\/a> or purpose, guests should be able to tell this just from looking at it. For instance, does the virtual event have booths that are symbolic to a mixer? Does it have an altar where a couple would stand for a wedding? As designers, our goal is to incorporate images in order to eliminate the need for words. Your remote guests should be able to know what kind of event they&#8217;re attending, without it being spelled out for them.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s illustrate this with an example of an in-person luncheon. For guests, it&#8217;d as simple as walking into a venue and automatically knowing where to sit. How do they know this? Because they see tables! For a virtual luncheon, an event decorator may design the platform to look like your company lounge area. Remember: familiarity is your friend when designing or decorating a virtual event.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-Medium-Quality-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-Medium-Quality-3.jpg\" alt=\"Smiling woman on couch, looking at laptop\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-Medium-Quality-3.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-Medium-Quality-3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Tips_for_Adding_Event_Decor_to_a_Virtual_Event\"><\/span>4 Tips for Adding Event Decor to a Virtual Event<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Draw something that you know is a must-have for an in-person event, so you can incorporate this image into your virtual event.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your areas for help, more information, and exiting the platform are clear and visible.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure that every platform is balanced with information and attendees.<\/li>\n<li>Design a one-page website that contains all of the event&#8217;s essential details.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Utilizing_a_Virtual_Production_Team\"><\/span>Utilizing a Virtual Production Team<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Earlier, we talked about virtual events. Now let&#8217;s talk about how to add different decor elements to it! I\u2019ve mentioned the idea a few times about a virtual production team.

Adding event decor services to your business allows for an additional stream of income. Moreover, event decor doesn\u2019t involve as much hand-holding as coordination and planning services. As a result, this service makes for a great breather in-between coordination and planning bookings.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a graduate of QC\u2019s <a href=\"\/online-event-courses\/event-decor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Event Decor Course<\/a> and I&#8217;m grateful to offer my clients these kinds of services in-person, as well as online. I personally recommend this course because event design doesn\u2019t come naturally to everyone. Even if it <em>does<\/em>, I still strongly urge you to get professionally trained and certified if you haven&#8217;t already. After all, you wouldn&#8217;t skip schooling if you wanted to become a nurse or doctor, right? Professionalism requires practice and education, no matter the industry. I originally admired event decor from a distance but shied away from the service. Then I realized that I only shied away because I was unfamiliar. So, I chose to get educated &#8211; and it\u2019s been a journey of creativity for me ever since!<\/p>\n<p>What I appreciate most about QC Event School\u2019s <a href=\"\/online-event-courses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online certification courses<\/a> are how they take you around the world and across time.
