Are you unsure how you would like to decorate your event?  Try choosing a theme.

Having a theme, whether it is based on colour or motif, is an excellent launch pad to the day’s overall feel.  Case in point, we were recently asked to provide chair covers for a bar mitzvah at the Congregation Schara Tzedeck in Vancouver where the theme was to be the “Simpsons” TV show.

Since the show uses mainly prime colours in its animation, the chair covers we provided reflected that simplicity: black regular banquet chair covers with plain yellow spandex bands.  These were the perfect choice to compliment the various “Simpsons” characters that adorned the tables and favours.

The centrepieces were a perfect compliment to the theme:  the “Simpson” family standing atop an illuminated light box, holding a table card depicting yet another beloved character from the show, while white balloon “clouds”, suspended from the ceiling, completed the decor.

Kudos to Cathy from “Only the Best” decorating for making this little boy’s vision a reality and for making this event a huge success! .
