Don't forget about the ceiling decor at your next party.
More than likely, you have gone to a party where the decor is breathtaking, until you look up at the plain, drab white ceiling. The ceiling, sometimes neglected compared to the rest of a room, can be tough to decorate. Depending on the venue you chose, the ceiling may be too high, or virtually impossible to hang things from. However, a well-decorated ceiling, whether elaborate or simple, can significantly enhance the beauty of an elegant party.
Instructions
1. Cover the ceiling with balloons. If a ceiling is just too high up but you still want to decorate it in some way, balloons filled with helium may be your best bet. Use the theme colors of the party, sticking to no more than two colors to keep it classy. Find out the approximate size of the ceiling so that the party store will know how many balloons you will need.
2. Hang fabric from the ceiling. Long pieces of white silk or chiffon fabric draped across the length of the ceiling add drama and elegance to any event and are popular at weddings. Use any rafters the ceiling may have to drape the fabric from the corners of the room to the center. If the ceiling does not have rafters, you can still elegantly hang the fabric in long sections from one end of the ceiling to the other.
3. Hang paper lanterns from the ceiling. Round paper lanterns are ideal for evening parties that are dimly lit. If the ceiling is paneled you can hang the lanterns from hooks and hang them from the panels, or you can hang them from the rafters. Hang the lanterns at different levels to create depth in the room.
4. String lights across the ceiling. Christmas lights strung across the ceiling add a festive sparkle to a party. Weave the lights through any rafters the venue may have, or simply string them across the room.
