Festive Hospitality: Get Your Venue Ready for Christmas
Guest post from Alliance South East.
With autumn well under way, we start looking towards wrapping up warm and bracing ourselves for the coming months. Due to Alliance South East supplying the hospitality industry we, along with our customers, are very much planning for the Christmas party season. With some venues already no doubt half booked up with festive parties throughout December, its important to start organising your Christmas theme.
What’s Vogue this Season?
The Classics
Obviously, it’d be remiss of us not to start with the classic colourways which dominate the festive period, we’ll start with the ever popular and present Gold, Red and Green.
These tones always feature in venues across the nation on account of them being the quintessential Christmas colours. They are warm and inclusive colours which scream festive cheer and work well due to the fact that any hue of red or green can work, so if you want the theme to be moody, opt for darker variants.
Staying with iconic looks, if Gold, Red and Green aren’t your thing you could go for the crisp, clean look of Silver and White. With the white imitating the coolness of Winter’s snow, the silver adds a tasteful hint of sparkle and glamour. A great way to achieve this look is by purchasing a snow effect / flocked tree to act as a backdrop for your Christmas decorations.
Navy & Gold
For a more refined and regal colour palette, navy and gold creates a striking contrast.
We at Alliance predict this to be a huge trend this season, particularly in luxury venues.
The deep midnight navy provides a dramatic and elegant stage to build your Christmas theme on. Lavishing the navy with gold accents instantly infuses the theme with a warmth which compliments a premium environment and makes a venue look distinguished and opulent.
Pink & Green
If you and your business embrace non-mainstream themes, then this may be for you. Perfect for quaint, quirky establishments that stand out from the crowd this soft, fresh and airy colour scheme creates a serene and inviting atmosphere.
Their range incorporates pearlescent crackers which introduce a subtle shimmer and glamour ensuring that they still look sophisticated on your table setting.
Supporting the Environment with a Bang
At Alliance, we have taken the initiative to ensure our Christmas crackers are fully recyclable.
This has been achieved by removing the powder (silver fulminate) from within the crackers which creates the classic crack.
We have replaced this with the snapping sound of card instead meaning the fun can still continue, but the cracker can be disposed of afterwards via an environmentally conscious channel.
