Below are the steps and visual diagrams to create your own Pom-Poms, using tissue paper. These were created as a beautiful ceiling feature, in our booth at the Wedding Fair. To create our tissue paper ceiling, we used over 6,000 sheets of tissue paper! The Pom-Poms were originally inspired by Martha Stewart Weddings, but here’s our take on them! Give them a try for yourself…

STEP 1
Take 10 sheets of tissue paper (26in. x 36in.) and stack on one another. Make 1 1/2in. wide accordian folds, creasing each fold.
STEP 2
Fold an 18in. piece of floral wire in half, and slip over the center of the folded tissues. Twist. With scissors, trim the ends of tissue into rounded shapes.

STEP 3
Separate all the layers, pulling away from the center, one tissue paper at a time.
STEP 4
Tie a length of floral wire for hanging.
Here are some photos from our Tissue Paper Ceiling at the Wedding Fair!

One of the most thrilling parts of planning an event with our clients is the creative process – dreaming up a spectacular décor plan that brings their visions to reality.

Often we find a venue that’s perfect in many ways – food, budget, availability, capacity – but there are design challenges to the space to make it work with a client’s desired look and feel. Draping is one of the best ways to make an ordinary space extraordinary – and one of our favourite examples of draping was for a birthday party we coordinated at Silvertip Resort in Canmore.
Michelle’s family are frequent golfers at Silvertip – and their two eldest daughters were both married at the venue. So when it came time for Michelle and her family to plan her 25th birthday party, Silvertip was the natural choice.
Silvertip Resort
The venue is nestled at the footsteps of the Rocky Mountains with spectacular views surrounding the area and offers exceptional service, food and experiences for guests. The one challenge with the venue was the rustic design of the space was at odds with the Cinderella princess party theme designed for Michelle’s party.One of the key transformative elements was draping. The room was lined with 15’ pipe and draping panels – soft white chiffon that billowed along the perimeter of the space. The material instantly softened the room’s rustic design, and tied the decorate elements together for a cohesive look.

The material itself is just part of the transformation – the draping was then lit by one of our favourite vendors – Stardust Event Group. Bill and Bert lit the panels so the room was lit with all shades of pink, ranging from blush, fuchsia, crimson, magenta and soft lavender. They also lit the hallway leading to the event space – so the moment guests entered the venue, they were transported to Cinderella’s castle lit and lined with draping, crystals, trees and votives.

Draping provided an instant alteration to the space – and helped take the décor over the top! The evening was a magical feast for the senses for Michelle and her family and friends celebrating with her.Tell us: what’s the most unbelievable room transformation you’ve seen for an event?
