Fundraiser Décor

Gala decorating ideas run the gamut from clean and simple affairs to soirées boasting elaborate lighting and florals. A skilled décor team will combine your event theme with your organization's mission to create a cohesive vision.

Mission-guided design is imperative in gala decorating. For example, in one charity event on PartySlate, an organization supporting environmental awareness used live plants instead of cut florals for decoration. At another — a fundraiser for a children's charity — the décor was colorful and lighthearted, with neon Slinky toys suspended over the dance floor. Yet another, supporting heart health, employed red lighting hues, scarlett furniture, and crimson tablecloths.

When it comes to fundraising event themes, guests have grown to expect creativity. From circus motifs featuring tons of draping to under-the-sea soirées effused with rippling blue lighting, your event planner and design team will work hand in hand to realize the concept. Gala décor ideas should take into consideration the flow of the event and purpose of each area, from the lounge to the auction and on to lunch or dinner. Find innovative gala decorating ideas here.
