First place at the Olympics. A symbol of a long and successful marriage. The elusive winning tickets for the priceless adventure in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. When only the best will do, gold is the answer. So why would event planners be any different? Table settings, picture frames, candle holders, right down to the food your guests will eat, can all be given the golden touch. It doesn’t have to blow your budget and it always adds a dash of class, sophistication and glamour whether it’s a social gathering, product launch or elegant gala.
The use of gold for your table decoration gives you a wealth of opportunity. There are the more obvious examples – cutlery handles, flower vases and candleholders, plate trimmings – as well as those that may create more discussion. Creative gold napkin rings can give a regal look to your dining area while salt and pepper dispensers too can join in the occasion. Surrounding your tables, whether dining or not, you have wonderful choices of lighting and wall or ceiling décor to make your guests feel like kings and queens for the day.
If the bold sophistication of gold is the look you’re going for at your event then make it clear from the offset. The first impression your attendees have is a powerful one so take advantage of it. From a majestic gilded door that opens to unveil your chromatic theme, to a chandelier or staircase with hints of palace-like luxury, your venue can help you start as you mean to continue.
Now after a classy event, how better to complete the experience for your attendees than to leave them with a golden token of the day. Have you considered gold-plated pens, for example, or a gold leaf in desserts?
