Birthday parties, company picnics, anniversary celebrations, and wedding receptions - these are just some of the types of events that can take place at an outdoor space. When these events are held outdoors, the guests tend to be more relaxed and hence, will have more fun and enjoy the gathering even more.
Although outdoor events are designed to make guests and all attendees feel more relaxed and comfortable, it doesn't mean that you can't add a splash of elegance to the occasion. Below are some tips that will enable you to add elegance to an outdoor event:
Have the right turf protection products installed on the lawn. Portable pathways are great turf protection products you can use to cover grassy areas. They are particularly useful if your guests are going to be in evening wear since high-heels and soft ground never mix well at all. These portable floor covering products are expensive but you don't have to buy them; you can rent them from companies known for their event hire products.
Consider carpets as well. Carpets always add a touch of luxury to events. You can also rent some rolled turf, carpets, and vinyl products that can cover the portable flooring material and match the look and feel of your event.
Make use of flowers and plants. If the lawn is lacking in bushes and other plants that can add color to the venue, consider bringing in extra plants to create a more lush setting. Keep in mind that the right floral settings can help set the mood you are looking for. To add a more romantic feel to the venue, consider placing some floating flowers. Adding some orchids can also create an elegant, modern look.
Be creative with your lighting features. Lastly, if the event will take place at night, bear in mind that lighting is particularly important. The good news is that you don't have to spend a fortune on buying expensive lighting features that you may only use for this event. With this aspect, it is important that you be creative. One tip you can follow is to use lighting to emphasize floral displays or draw attention to areas intended for people to gather. Candles are also great and affordable lighting options. Simply place one or more on each table. You can place a number of tall candles of various sizes grouped together in the center or just simple tea lights. If you already have some Christmas lights, you can use them, too. These lights can enhance the romantic atmosphere of the event.
