Event Fabrics & Decorating Tips

The possibilities are endless when you use event fabrics to create decorations and backdrops at your homecoming, prom, or reception. Layer event fabrics to create deeper, richer colors. For a sheer and wispy appearance, use a single layer of material. Try using different types together to create your desired effect. Cover tabletops with vinyl tablecovers. Then add one or two layers of your favorite materials over them. Swag event fabric around table edges and create tidy, fabric bows on the backs of chairs. Cut small pieces to further decorate centerpieces, balloons, or favors for an event draped in gorgeous, fabric decorating.

Illuminate fabric with colored, string lights. A romantic, fabric sheen casts a warm glow over tables, around decorative columns, and on walls. Pick cloth to enhance the event theme. For example, liquid metallic fabric has the look of the gold and silver metals that say hip hop theme “bling.” Burlap adds to the earthy, country feel of a western event theme. If dreamy, romance is what you want, choose a tulle or chiffon fabric.
