All about Ambiance!

Did you ever think that bad decor can actually spoil an almost picture perfect moment? Many people fail to believe that decor and photography are co-related. For a perfect picture, we just do not need a better photographer, but also a better decor! If the lighting is not perfect, if the decor is not set up right, then there is nothing much a photographer will be able to do!

When we step into weddings, we see the entire area is lit with a lot of yellow and other colorful lights. Do you know why?

It is because these lights help in enhancing the look of the pictures. They add the touch of natural light to every picture that is captured during the wedding rituals and other candid shots around the space.

Sometimes you would have also noticed that the cameraman team comes with a set of camera lights, this is because if the light on the stage or any other space is not up to the mark, these camera lights help in uplifting and enhance the quality of the photos.

When it comes to decorating the space, at Indian weddings we tend to see flowers everywhere. From different breeds to different colors, and different forms of decor. These flowers are used at the entrance of the venue, around the seating area, and also used to decorate the stage and backdrop. Why is this decor essential? Well, this decoration of flowers, helps in highlighting the pictures and breaking the monotony of a plain background. The latest trends go with theme based decoration, tassels, and photo booths to add a different flavor to the photography.

Many people go with the opinion that the ambience or the decor has nothing to do with the photography. But the truth is, they are correlated! Just imagine, if the lighting at the wedding is not right, will it sum up to bright good pictures? No right! Not only this, the ambience and decoration add a different flavor to the photography.

From the entrance to the stage, every small detailing in terms of decoration enhances the photos. So, when if you are looking at capturing the best of the wedding moments of the bride and the groom, then ensure that the stage is lit with the right decor, and lighting and make the photographer's job a little easier. So, do not take decoration lightly at weddings, or any other celebration, because decoration and the overall ambience is what creates the atmosphere for a fun-filled event.

Adding charm to your event

Makeover

Stage Decoration creates the moment! Be it a theme-based event, a small prop-night or a wedding. We all want to be dressed in the best way, then why not light up the whole event with some stage decor? Here’s to a few tips to remember on stage decoration, while you plan your next event. 

Tip no 1: Keep it simple: Adding too much to the decor might kill the show. So, keep the stage decoration simple and elegant. If it is for a reception or a wedding, flowers will add the charm. If in case, it is for a kid’s birthday party or a theme-based party, convert the stage into a photo-booth where people can come and create memories with the props.

Tip no 2: Budget: Sometimes, stage decoration might take up a huge budget. So, fix a budget before hand and appoint a stage decoration vendor who falls in your budget. Also, meet a few stage decorators, get quotes from them, check out their past work, ask about the vendor’s work from few people, negotiate and then appoint a vendor. Because this is a one-time thing, we cannot give any chance to any mistakes happening.

Tip no 3: Decoration ideas: Well, with the rise of technology and the boom of the internet, individuals have become smart with time. Yes, you got me right! I am talking about doing some research before hand. Based on your theme look for how people have executed the decorations for their event in the past. This research might help you come up with new ideas and also help you negotiate in many aspects with the event planners. While coming to the wedding decoration, we all know flowers and lights do the magic. Look for flower stage decorations and choose something that goes contrastingly well with your outfit and sets the charming mood. Save a couple of images from the internet, show it to your stage decoration vendor and do a bit of moderation if you want and then here you are all set! 

Tip no 4: Photos - Photos: We all want to capture every nook and corner of the event. From the empty hall with no people to the jam-packed hall. We tell our photographers to come well before time to capture the tiniest of things at the event. And, the photographer looks for nothing more than a spot or a stage which calls for attention. If you are decorating your stage with the photo-booth concept then assist your guests to the spot to capture some reminiscing moments. 

These are the basic tips, you might have more to suggest or add, do comment with a few more tips one should look out for while considering stage decoration. All the best for your upcoming events and craft a stage that is simple, elegant and stays in the mind forever! Roses or props, the choice is yours!
