Here are a few DIY Prom decoration tips
You literally don’t have to hire any event management company to pull off the greatest prom ever!
Ceiling and Accent Lights
A small tweak in lighting can change the mood.
- For a special lighting option, place a mirrored disco ball in the middle of draped fabric.
- Behind draped panels of sheer indigo or navy blue gossamer, small white string lights can be softly diffused across the ceiling.
- To draw attention to decorative backdrop materials like shimmering curtains, use purple or blue LED spotlights.
- For a romantic appearance, use lace as a backdrop and light strings strung from ceiling to floor.
- Punch tables look stunning when lit up beneath a tablecloth.
- Make luminaries for walkways and entrances using white paper bags and flameless tea lights.
Balloon Arches
Making balloon arches is simple, and they can be used to adorn a buffet table, a foyer, or as a decorative border for prom photos.
A plastic decorating strip anchored by buckets or sandbags can be used to support an arch made of helium-filled balloons because the helium will hold the balloons in place. However, this kind of arch only lasts six to twelve hours in addition to the higher cost of the helium.
An arch made of air-filled balloons can be assembled days before prom night using a lightweight PVC frame. A balloon arch with two colors can be made using the guidelines below.
Use a great hashtag
Hashtags are a fun way to get everyone interested and build anticipation for prom night.
The teens will be more likely to post their experiences and pictures on social media if your decor includes a unique hashtag. Additionally, since hashtags are a popular way to promote interaction among students, it’s a fun way to make sure your prom decorations are noticed by them.
The photo booth decor is the ideal place to add a hashtag as prom decorations. Since the hashtag will appear on the pictures and videos taken on prom night, this will give the students memories.
Your photo booth’s custom hashtag can be added by:
- Adding die-cut letters with glue to give it a 3D appearance
- Affixing balloon letters to it
- Wrapping it in traditional fabric
Take some quality pictures of the decorations as they come together for your special event if you’re a volunteer or a member of the prom decorating committee. One day, you’ll enjoy looking back on them and gloating about them to your kids. Go all out.
Happy Prom!
