Set the Scene


Ah, beautiful, isn't it?  The hills of Tuscany.  Is there a more beautiful location in which to marry?  Even if you, as the bride and groom, had the money to fly off to Italy and marry in the countryside many of your friends and family may not be able to afford such extravagance.  Rather than take your guests to the location, why not bring the location to them?  Yes, it's doable!  There are companies that create massive backdrops in a variety of scenes and sizes that allow planners to transform any space into the clients' fantasy (visit Grosh or Backdrops Fantastic) .  And, believe it or not, it's not as hard on the budget as you might think.  Once you've decided you wish to look into this option and you've determined your budget will allow it, you'll want to consider your venue.  If you've just booked the stately mansion with historic woodwork knee deep you won't want to cover that beauty with an artificial backdrop.  However, if you're considering the popular hotel banquet room that leaves much to the imagination then let's invite your guests to do just that!  It is recommended that you let your professional planner do the research for you which will include researching options that fit your theme and budget as well as conducting a site preview at the venue to determine the exact size and location for the backdrop.  They'll also ensure on-time delivery and setup so that when you and your guests enter the space, you're transported to a whole new world.

To further enhance your theme, a professional planner can compile a variety of resources such as specialty linens, ambient lighting, floral and other elements.  For instance, did you know that for as little as $35 each you can rent European-style street lamps?  Imagine those with a few rented topiaries and a backdrop of the Eiffel Tower . . . your guests' jaws will drop!  What a beautiful way to create a memorable event.  Call us at 920.364.0212 or 614.448.1253 to learn more.
