How to decorate a dance floor at a reception

decorate a dance floor at a reception

It's interesting:
"Henry told me he's had a little upgrade in time for his wedding night. ... Gillian Simon's wedding has been better attended than this year's Liberal ..."

The centerpieces are dazzling, the wedding cake is a piece of edible art, the bride and groom look stunning, but in the middle of the reception hall, there is a blank void: the dance floor. Rather than letting a boring dance floor suck the life out of a beautiful reception space, jazz it up with some decorations. With the right dance floor decor, the dance floor becomes more than just a practical spot for dancing, but rather an important part of the reception's style.

Things You'll Need

• Dance floor decal
• String lights
• Paper lanterns
• Pillars or columns
• Tulle or other light fabric
• Balloons

Instructions

1. • 1

     Decorate the dance floor itself by applying decals similar to window-clings. Chose decals that are relevant at the wedding, such as the word "-love"- or heart shapes. While these decals will not destroy the surface of the floor, they add a special touch to the dance floor.

     Focus on the space above the dance floor. Stringing brilliant white lights over the space creates the look of stars in a night sky. Alternatively, paper lanterns suspended over the dance floor illuminate the floor with a romantic warm glow.

   • 3

     Shine a decorative spotlight upon the dance floor, imprinting the floor with colorful text or designs. For example, have the spotlight beam down your monogram, or keep the energy of the space going with interesting patterns, similar to a kaleidoscope.

     Create a decorative arch to span over the dance floor. Pillars posted at the corners of the dance floor and sheets of tulle create a romantic, dream-like space. For a more whimsical look, make an arch out of a string of balloons, which can float over the dance floor.

Tips &- Warnings

• Check with your wedding planner, event coordinator or the venue's manager to learn if they have any rules regarding decorating the dance floor.
