There are many different types of ballroom designs. The ballroom continues to be a favourite wedding venue for a lot of Toronto couples. While it might not seem like Ballrooms have flexibility in their design, Ballrooms offer an elegant space that is neutral in colours so that it’s easy to tie in your wedding colours. A lot of big corporations use ballrooms for their events so ballrooms are designed to easily bring elegance to any event. 

Divide Up the Room

It’s a blessing and a curse that ballrooms are so big. You’ll never have to worry about if you have enough space for all your guests if you choose a ballroom but that might be too much space and leave areas empty. So how do we fix this? Divide the room. 

By sectioning off the rooms you create a welcoming feeling and visual interest to the entire room. Think of sections like a lounge area and a cocktail area and a dance floor. Photo booth rentals in Toronto also make a fun area. Renting a Toronto photo booth is a ton of fun for you and your guests. Photo booth rentals give your guests great take home memories and if you rent from a top-rated photo booth rental company in Toronto like Events 365,  you get digital copies of your event photos as well.

The Vertical Space in a Toronto ballroom wedding

So many people forget to plan for the empty space above their heads which makes the venue feel cold and empty. Use tall centrepieces to elevate the room.   Alternating the Tall centrepieces with table-level centrepieces stops the room from feeling crowded. A lot of people object to tall centrepieces because they are afraid it blocks table conversation. It actually doesn’t if it’s done right. The height of the centrepieces should reach over the heads of your guest so they can still see and speak to each other. 

Using hanging decor like flowers is another way to bridge the gap from ceiling to table and create a beautiful look for your wedding. It lowers the ceiling and creates a more visually pleasing sightline. 

Tackle that space closer to the ceiling with drapery. Honestly cleaning ceilings is hard and you’ll probably see old balloons stuck up there and it’s generally not that appealing to look at. Usually, there is a nice chandelier that you won’t want to hide with your drapes so talk to your venue coordinator on what can be done. Chances are you aren’t the first one to drape the ceiling. When done right the ceiling drapery can create a good sense of intimacy and elegance. 

The flexibility of Toronto wedding balloon decor should not be ignored. Balloons come in all shapes and sizes and give the feeling of celebration. Balloon centrepieces are great for filling vertical space .not only that you can build them up into balloon garlands and balloon arches. and of course, you can use them to fill empty space in the hall as well. Toronto wedding balloons are a cost-effective way to decorate your wedding in your wedding colours.

Light Up the Room

Lighting is easily the most important way to decorate a room. Why? Well for photos. In recent years wedding photography has become one of the biggest expenditures because of how important couples feel it is. You are going to want transitional lighting. You’ll want it nice and bright while your guests come in and find their seats. No one wants to be looking for a name tag in the dark but you’ll want the lights to dim as the night changes from dinner to dancing. Toronto marquee letter light rentals are a great way to not only decorate the room but also gives the room some ambience.

Candles are a popular way to create a warm welcoming and romantic ambience to the wedding reception. However, some venues don’t allow candles because it’s still technically a fire hazard. Having something else like those tea lights that run on watch batteries is a lot better is an excellent substitution if you have your heart set on candles. 

 Visit your venue at the time of the reception so you can see how the lighting looks. If your venue has windows see if it heats the room depending on the time of year. See how much light it lets in. Don’t rely on the windows for light, because there might be a storm and the clouds will have less light.  Remember to try and see the venue at the same time as your wedding that way you’ll know what the lighting situation is like during your wedding
