D is for Decor

In our first 9 months as a venue, we've seen creative and transformative decorating and design ideas at each event.

Uplighting

Adding specialty lighting changes the atmosphere of the room - it sets the mood for the event, creates conversation, and draws people into the space.

Fabric

Using pipe and drape systems and specialty lighting, Entertainment Unlimited Events was able to divide The Center's ballroom into separate lounges for The Knot Cocktail's and Connections 2012 event. The fabric lined walls took on a clean and elegant look, providing the perfect back drop for the evening. Image below by Shelby Street Photography.

Candles

Candlelight gives off a warm, soft glow and creates an intimate and romantic feeling for an event. While they look great on their own, they can be further enhanced by using flowers or petals. Candles can be incorporated into the centerpieces, positioned along the aisles during the ceremony, and in other elements of the decorations. Be sure to check on flame policies if you plan to use candles as part of your decor. Image below by Leppert Photography.

Flowers

Flowers can be used to enhance the ceremony and reception. The arrangements can be done in various styles, ranging from romantic to modern. The flowers you choose can help to work in your wedding colors or complement them with an accent color.

Courtenay Lambert Florals designed a beautiful modern arrangement for The Knot Cocktails and Connections 2012 event. The design incorporated tall glass vases, candles and flowers and produced a unique effect. It almost looked as if the flowers had been delicately tossed in the air and wer frozen in place, framing the entrance for guests as they first came into the space.

LED

LED bars, cocktail tables and other rental items have been hugely popular for our events. Functional, bright and modern, it is a simple way to add some excitement to the cocktail hour or the area surrounding the dance floor. Accent on Cincinnati provided the LED bar pictured below.

Furniture

There is so much that you can do with the furniture. Tables and chairs, along wiht the linens and centerpieces, all influence the arrangement, look and feel of the room. Soft seating and lounge furniture provide a fun way to break from tradition and give guests a laid back and relaxed atmosphere. A Day to Remember! USA provided the furniture pictured below.

Centerpieces

The linens and centerpieces are another great way to bring color into the room. We loved the unique look of the event pictured below. The centerpieces included black and white placemats lined with tiny chocolates for the guests and tall vases with LED lights and ostrich feathers. Other tables featured LED lit vases filled with turquoise beads and water. Party Pleasers and Grand Expectations Events provided the lighting and decor pictured below.
