If you are planning an event, one thing you need to get right is the theme. Read on for some great suggestions that are guaranteed to impress.
Old Hollywood Glamour
This is a theme which is glamorous, extravagant and luxurious. Rewind the clock to the days of Hollywood scarlet Marlin Monroe with sophisticated and seductive party decorations. Your colour scheme should be black, red and silver. It’s all about the detail with this theme and that’s why the party decorations play a pivotal role. Red roses are imperative. You don’t have to purchase real ones as flowers are obviously expensive. You can opt for fake flowers or decorations incorporating the red rose.
In addition to this, look for drapes of crystals to lace on the wall just as you would with bunting. You can even buy pots of loose assorted crystals to scatter across the tables. These are undoubtedly a welcomed addition. Ornate black photo frames with black and white images inside can look fantastic. If you are the sort of girl who likes all eyes on you, you could get your parents to treat you to a photo shoot before the event and fill the frames with old school Hollywood photographs. This personalises the occasion which is always important. You need to make sure your food and entertainment matches the event too.

What about going for a Japanese inspired event? This is unique and looks fantastic. After all, Japanese art and design is filled to the brim with rich colours and lavish gold adornments. You can find some really cheap yet beautiful party decorations that play to this trend beautifully. From the unique Konichiwa banners, to Shoji screens, to paper dragons, to colourful paper lanterns; the list is endless. And don’t forget the stunning oriental fans to decorate the drinks! Once you start shopping for party decorations you will keep unearthing new and exciting products. Flowers also play an important role in this trend. The Cherry Blossom is an obvious choice. If you can’t afford fresh flowers go for party decorations that incorporate the Cherry Blossom pattern.
Vintage Floral
Vintage floral is undeniably stunning. This is the party trend for those girls who like subtle and natural beauty. Think of colours such as rose, ivory and cream. Similarly to the assorted boxes of crystals, you can also buy boxes of pearls to lace the tables with – this is highly recommended for the Vintage Floral trend. You can also buy strings of pearls to decorate the walls as well. There are some really cool and quirky tissue paper pom poms on the market these days as well. These make fantastic party decorations. Attention to detail is important here. The simplicity of the colours allows the true detail of the party decorations to come to light.
Happy Hippy
This is a great trend for a 21st birthday party because it stimulates a happy and friendly environment, which is what a party is all about. Sometimes the best events are those that have more of a laidback feel rather than a glamorous and sophisticated edge. This is because people feel free to enjoy the party as suits them rather than having to totter around in six inch heels and a fitted sequin dress. When looking for party decorations you can incorporate a wealth of colours, from green, to purple, to pink, to orange, to yellow. Furthermore, you should be looking out for flower power designs and the peace sign. This shouldn’t be too difficult as the peace sign has soared to the height of fashion as of late.
