A lot of otherwise sensible and staid people use New Year's Eve as an excuse to go absolutely wild. It can be great fun watching people having a good time on New Year's Eve, but as an event organiser I also need to put a lot of effort into making sure that the night is safe for everyone that attends. People don't realise that I spend most of the year getting our NYE events in order, just so that they can have a magical night. This blog is for people organising events like New Year's Eve parties in their communities, who want to ensure the safety of the participants.
For many Australian couples, their wedding day is one of the most important and momentous days of their lives. However, it can also be the most expensive day of their lives, with the average cost of a wedding in Australia being a huge $26,000. For many couples, such a high price can be both prohibitive and also add a significant amount of stress and anxiety to what should be a happy occasion.
For this reason, a rapidly growing number of people are opting for low-budget alternatives. One of the most popular options is to hire a marquee and have a simple yet stylish backyard wedding. If this is an option that you're considering, then here are two essential marquee accessories that will help create a beautiful and magical venue for your wedding day.
1. Marquee lighting
Even the most basic marquee can be completely transformed with the right choice of lighting. Your marquee lighting needs to be practical as it will illuminate the space as night falls and it also needs to be suitable for outdoor use. It also needs to look beautiful and create a striking ambience and romantic mood.
There are several types of lighting that you can choose from and most of them can be provided by the marquee hire company that you use. Fairy lights are an enduring favourite and festoon lights can also help to create a festive and intimate feel. If you'd like a more luxurious and decadent look, an ornate outdoor chandelier may be ideal.
2. Wooden flooring
Another excellent marquee accessory for your beautiful backyard wedding is wooden flooring. It will give the marquee a more solid and practical feel and can help to make the space weather-proof in the event of inclement weather. If cost is an issue, adding wooden flooring to part of the space can also provide you with a safe, flat dance floor area.
As well as being highly practical, wooden flooring also looks beautiful. You can choose from a range of colours and finishes to match your theme perfectly. Wooden flooring is erected on a sturdy steel frame and can be installed and dismantled by the marquee hire company.
With these two essentials, your wedding marquee will be ready to add the finishing touches to your wedding. You'll have a striking and functional space that will cost you a fraction of the cost that hiring a traditional wedding venue would. Look for a company that provides marquee hire to learn more.
