If you want to create an event to remember, then forget classic backdrops and standard props. It’s time to start incorporating unusual artistic elements to your event, which are more likely to create a ‘wow’ factor, and get your guests talking!

Here are TFG’s top 5 ideas;

1. Spell it out Spell out a brand name or some simple key words that relate to your event, using unique items that make a direct association to that word. Eg. Red Cherry – made of cherries, JC Penny – made of pennies. Mount to walls or add to table tops for branding that is a little more artistic then your average pull-up banner.

2. Create a unique structure Segregate areas and create unique spaces by using materials such as intertwined rope or sheets of bubble wrap. The key here is to do it on mass. This will add some serious artistic flair to your event and will work logistically as well.

3. Centrepieces made of unique objects Think of unusual items that are different to your typical floral centrepiece. Antique telephones, paint tins, spare parts are some examples of items that are a bit more creative, and are likely to be more cost effective as well! Just aim to keep the items related to the event somehow.

4. Serve canapés in unique objects Old briefcases, medical kits – the possibilities are endless! Pair up with some roving actors and wallah! An artistic theming masterpiece!

5. Sculptures A large sculpture at the entrance to your event can create a striking effect! Choose a sculpture that somehow encapsulates the theme/brand of your event and watch as all the guests get a photo standing next to it! This adds to the fun, the theming and provides your guests with a memory they will cherish for long after!
