Decor Essentials: hosting functions

The silly season is almost upon us and with it comes a host of functions, events and dinner parties.

Whether you are hosting a big to-do, a fun brunch or a fancy cocktail party, Decor Essentials has everything you need to win the title of “Host with the most”.

From decorative backdrops and centrepieces to colourful napkins, tablecloths and chair covers, Decor Essentials has everything you need to throw a fab party or even start your own events business.

Here are some top tips from the team to help you pull off a stylish soiree.

Dress up chairs

Turn run-of-the-mill chairs into a decorative plus with colourful seat covers or sashes.

“Our chair covers are made from premium quality Trilobal fabrics that are long-lasting,” explains the company. “Plus, it fits plastic chairs, conference chairs and Derby Chairs.”

Decorate the ceiling

For something a little different, why not cover the room’s ceiling in helium-filled balloons, draping, streamers or garlands for a festive atmosphere?

Decor Essentials has a wide range of clear, coloured, metallic and customisable balloons.

Go big with dessert

Everyone loves a sweet ending, so why not turn your dessert course into a grand finale with a unique display?

Decor Essentials has a range of traditional cake stands, as well as a contemporary multilevel tabletop dessert stand that is beyond gorgeous and an OTT doughnut display wall.

Light it up

Nothing sets a festive mood like lighting, so opt for some pretty candleholders or lanterns with candles, fairy lights or cool light letters.

Don’t forget to add flowers

Floral decor is a must for any event.

Whether you decide to opt for contemporary bud vases filled with seasonal blooms, a display of preserved flora or beautiful arrangements of fresh blooms, Decor Essentials has a wide range of vases and flower stands to choose from.

The company has branches in Durban and Johannesburg, and also couriers countrywide.
