Theming an event

Are you struggling to come up with a theme for your event? Whether it be for your Christmas party or another event, here are a few ideas.....

Country specific theme-I recently organised a Brazilian themed event, which allowed for lots of creativity, but was surprisingly easy to achieve. For entertainment we had Vincent and Flavia (celebrities from Strictly Come Dancing) and The London School of Samba.




Madame Butterfly - where East meets West …an Oriental inspired garden theme incorporating elegant blossom trees, pergolas, colourful butterflies and a taste of the exotic.

Contemporary Christmas - use silver, navy and white to give it a contemporary and stylish feel!

Diamonds and Pearls - A decadent and shimmering atmosphere with a multitude of pea lights and gems intertwined throughout. This theme could also be incorporated with a black and white theme (see A Touch of Colour below).

A touch of Colour - Often the simplest themes are the most successful. Whether it is the classic and elegant black and white mix or something a little sassier such as shocking pink, a colour scheme always works. The colour can be incorporated into everything – invitations, dress code, drinks, décor, and lighting ensuring continuity throughout.

Grease is the Word- For all Pink Ladies and T Birds, this retro theme would work particularly well at the All Lanes bowling venues which already incorporate a diner and full American cocktail bar.

James Bond, 007 - this is easy for both the organiser to theme and the guests to come suitably attired!

Vintage Hollywood - The glamour of 1950s Hollywood which could also be tied in with an Oscars theme, should your event be taking place in February/March which is close to the Oscars ceremony. Guests can make their entrance up a red carpet, with snapping paparazzi, and enter a world of glitz, elegance and untouchable glamour.

Other ideas include:

• Gangsters and Molls
• Fire and Ice
• 1920s High Society
• Cool Britannia/Best of British

These are just a few ideas, there are many many more! If you would like some inspiration, why not contact us?
