5 Event Drapery Tips to Transform Your Venue

After browsing Pinterest and saving wedding inspiration pins, you may encounter a common thread – drapery. Although a subtle detail, drapery can transform your celebration, adding another level of elegance and class. It’s also versatile, so whether you want to create a dramatic scene or a dreamy ambiance, drapery can help you bring your vision to life. 

Keep reading to learn how to incorporate event drapery into your special day!

1. Creating a drapery backdrop 

Do you want to draw guests’ attention to key areas of your venue? Consider hanging drapery behind various focal points for a striking effect. You can use a gorgeous drapery backdrop for your ceremony altar, sweetheart table, dance floor, and more. 

Before selecting any drapery, explore your wedding theme with your partner to determine the best style. For instance, sheer drapery pairs well with a light and airy theme, while poly satin drapery delivers pure elegance. 

2. Changing the venue’s space

Large event spaces are great for entertaining many guests; however, if you want to establish an intimate and cozy vibe, drapery can help you achieve this. Simply use your drapery to portion off smaller areas until it feels just right. 

You can divide halls into private rooms, designate areas for eating, and separate spaces for games and activities. The perfect event drapery will allow you to seamlessly shape your space to match the picture in your head.

3. Enhancing the guest experience 

If you want to customize your event to elevate the guest experience, incorporate drapery to section off your larger space. For example, you can design a speakeasy-inspired cocktail bar, a silent disco, or a photo booth. Now’s your chance to get creative and give attendees a unique experience they’ll remember for years.

You can also enhance drapery with event lighting. The proper lighting can set the vibe for your romantic affair, transporting you and your guests to a dreamy oasis. Consider bringing light designers on board to accomplish this breathtaking look. 

4. Doing a big reveal

Like a stage, drapery creates a sense of mystery for a big reveal. Do you want to build anticipation for your walk down the aisle or reveal the cake cutting at the reception party? Utilize event drapery to initiate buzz and excitement. You can use this simple décor element with diverse colors and materials to create a showstopping effect.

5. Adding drama

We could do without gossip drama, but drapery drama is a must! Consider adding ceiling swag or hanging drapery for a dramatic swoop that will demand your guests’ attention throughout your festivities. You can play with colors, textures, and lighting to match the effect you’re looking for. And if you need support, hire a designer. A pro can use their design expertise to elevate your celebration. 

Event drapery lends itself to many themes and styles, so if you’re leaning toward this décor option, we would be happy to assist you. Contact us today, so we can set you up with one of our expert décor specialists and deliver your dream wedding, dramatic drapery and all!

Today, we’re highlighting Stirling and Tyler’s romantic celebration at Casa Real. Their special day included many show-stopping details, highlighting their personalities and styles. We could gush all day about how their unique vision came to life, but we’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Remember what we said about the details? Look at the stunning mirror seating chart! The antique gold frame and font exude luxury. We also love the addition of their pugs with the advice cards and doggie treats.

Happy Friday – this week, we’re wrapping it up with some gorgeous, romantic wedding vibes!

Jenny and Chris’ wedding was truly one for the books. Between the rich florals adorning our rustic beam Edison chandelier and the geometric drop chandeliers peeking out, who wouldn’t want to dance the night away?

Photo of the Day: Bountiful Elegance

Boy, do we have a photo to share with you today! This gorgeous floral arrangement encircling our 16-candle crystal chandelier exudes elegance and class, and we are HERE for it! *swoon*

With lush white and pink flowers, subtle touches of greenery, and glass + crystals dripping from all around, we think this fixture really dressed up Casa Real to the nines. Add some sweet chiffon drapery, extra greenery, and a sweetheart table bursting with blooms; sounds like a wedding day to remember, huh?

Photo of the Week: Serene Greenery

Bring on the greenery! If serenity were a picture, this is what it would look like: Two heartbeats becoming one rhythm.

This lovely couple hosted their reception at the beautiful Casa Real. Our rustic wooden beam Edison chandelier is the perfect counterpart to the delicate greenery and white florals that represent harmony and balance. Doesn’t get more serene than that, wouldn’t you say?

(Oh, and did you peep our reclaimed barn wood panel wall serving as the perfect sweetheart table backdrop?)

Photo of the Week: Romantic Luxury

How’s this for a taste of romantic luxury?

Not sure what’s more picture-perfect: Staring into the eyes of forever? Or the way the natural light envelopes this sweet pair, outlining the perfect silhouette of love? We’ll take both, please!

Tall floral centerpieces and a majestic chandelier give us all the romantic energy, creating the perfect vibe for these lovebirds! (Oh, and did you peep the delicately adorned arbor at the entrance? Swoon!)

This beautiful couple made the most of their alone time under our crystal beaded chandeliers as Ryan Lam Photography captured this sweet moment at Palm Event Center. If this isn’t the epitome of romance, we don’t know what is!

The beauty of a boho chic wedding is in its airy, natural earth tones that accent the bride and groom. Its distinct, soft color palette sets a romantic feel that knits nature, harmony, and love into one. Though the decor is minimal for a boho chic celebration, our quintessential wood bead chandelier will bring your wedding together like pages from an enchanted woodland book. Get in touch to add it to your upcoming event.

Did you know Geometric Chandeliers are now gold?! We are absolutely obsessed with their transformation and they certainly pop amidst all the greenery.

These vendor showcases are a labor of love, as we started working with our design teams months ago to bring our ideas to life. We were lucky enough to share our spaces with some amazing creative partners, who were all inspiring and such a joy to work with, so be sure to check them out!

We haven’t received any of the professional photos yet, but we wanted to share some of our favorite looks from the evening that we captured ourselves!

We were so excited to unveil our Statue LOVE Letters! Standing 8′ tall, they’re an amazing statement piece and they would be so much fun for photographs. We will be offering these letters in both the dark wood seen here and white! Nicole Ha Design always outdoes herself, and this year was no different! Our 9′ Round Crystal Beaded Chandelier is always stunning, but adding in the 20′ long Crystal Beaded Column, 5 Light Crystal Chandeliers, and greenery on the top takes it over the edge! We wanted to create a twist on our 12’x12′ Beaded Crystal Chandelier, so say hello to our Fabric Chandelier! Adding the GOBO patterns and 25 Light Crystal Chandelier will help create a stunning focal point over your dance floor! This may have been one of the smallest vignettes…but it was certainly one of our favorites! Our Black Velour Drapery and Edison Bulbs add to the autumnal dream Nicole Ha created! We loved getting the opportunity to collaborate with Liz of Enchantment Floral in this whimsical vignette! Our 16 Light Crystal Chandeliers complement the design so well! 

Our brand new 12′ Arbor is a really exciting addition to our inventory! It’s totally versatile and can be used in many different ways alongside our other items, like our Edison Bulbs and Geometric Chandeliers, but we especially love the look that Karl of Delford West created with the greenery!
