Whatever the occasion, whether it be a birthday, graduation, a gender reveal or simply a get together with friends or family a little party decoration can make the celebration even more special, not to mention instagrammable! So here are 5 fun decoration ideas to consider at your next party.
1. A Doughnut Wall
Combine dessert and decoration with an on-trend doughnut wall and let the pretty colours and sprinkles of these sweet treats dazzle your guests. Doughnut walls can be created in any number of styles and sizes and can be filled with delicious doughnut treats to match your occasion or colour scheme - some brides are even ditching their wedding cakes in favour of one. If doughnuts don’t take your fancy another colourful dessert based decoration idea is to create a centerpiece out of cupcakes.
2. A Balloon Arch
Provide the perfect backdrop to any selfie with a spectacular balloon arch. Whether a kids birthday party, a hen-do or a classy black tie ball, balloon arrangements have been a popular go to for parties for many years and for good reason, balloons are fun, versatile and instantly scream ‘celebration’ making them the perfect way to decorate your venue. With an endless number of colours, shapes and designs there’s a balloon for any occasion - just be sure to dispose of them correctly so that they don’t float off and end up in the ocean.
3. A Flower Wall
A flower wall can add drama, sophistication and style to any party, not to mention they look great in photographs. With the option of both silk and natural flowers the design capabilities of a flower wall are endless and if you choose the silk variety they can be used again and again. Though we highly recommend you use both since using a combination of artificial and natural elegant flowers can create a unique and eye-catching aesthetic. The combination of textures, colors, and shapes can add depth and dimension to the flower wall, making it more visually appealing. For a wedding, why not have the initials of the bride and groom stand out in contrasting colours or for a gender reveal you could have a flower wall in both pink and blue and have guests take selfies with the one they guess.
4. Paper PomPoms
Add a touch of class to any party with paper pompoms. Coming in a number of colours and sizes paper pompoms and texture and variety, especially when used amongst more traditional decorations such as balloons. With very little assembly required paper pompoms are also a great last minute decoration idea and once you’re done they can often be folded down and used again - they also make great decorations for kids bedrooms.
5. Banners, Bunting and Garlands
Nothing says ‘Party’ like a banner. Whether it be bunting for a summer bbq or a ‘happy birthday’ banner - garlands, banners and bunting give any occasion a little lift and can help tie those awkward corners of a room together. If you’re having your party outside then utilise banners, bunting or a garland to decorate nearby trees, hedges or fencing. Or why not go one further and have a personalised slogan written on yours, or if you want to have a go at making one yourself then a traditional paper chain kit can keep you and the kids entertained for hours.
6. Personalized Decorations
Personalized decorations for your guests is a great way to make the party experience that little bit more special. For example, you can make some personalized place settings with a picture of each guest or something that you think represents who they are as a person. You could even go the extra mile and get some Personalized BobbleHeads Dolls of each of your guests. There are some great sites online where you can send in a picture and they will recreate it as a bobblehead. If you are going to have bunting at the party, you could even consider using photos of your guests on there. By personalizing the decorations, you can take your party to the next level.
