The class of a candelabra
Are you hoping for a feeling of elegance and opulence at your corporate event? Glamour can be a difficult thing to achieve, particularly on a limited budget; it is, by nature, an exclusive (and expensive) look.
But by hiring a few simple event props, it can be done. Candelabras on the tables are a great place to start, invoking the sort of sophistication and exclusivity more often associated with a dinner on an English country estate. A grand chandelier may also be worth thinking about.

Light it up with lanterns
Is your corporate event going to be held at night? If it is, lighting is all important. Lighting provides the perfect opportunity to affect the feel of the event in a cheap and effective way.
One of the most cost-effective options is the humble paper lantern. Perfect for outdoor night events, or events with a hint of an oriental theme, they are a cheap, cheerful, and beautiful option.

Eye-catching lycra plinths
More often than not a corporate event will incorporate a stage. An empty stage can be somewhat of an eyesore, however, particularly if the rest of the space is perfectly planned out.
In terms of a pure space-filler, you can’t do better than lycra plinths. These standalone boxes of lycra can often be lit from the inside, and will break up any empty space at your event.

Simulate the sky with a star cloth
If your corporate event is utilising a space that doesn’t have any windows or view of the outdoors, there can be an associated feeling of claustrophobia for your guests. One of the best ways to avoid this is by using a star cloth – a drape dotted with LEDs that simulate the night sky.
Star cloths can either be used sparingly as features, like behind the event’s bar, or as a total wall solution for your event.
