Unit 2: CEILING DRAPING & DECOR

Course Introduction

When design a wedding or event one of the most important aspects is the ceiling draping & decor. Depending on the venue and desired atmosphere, adding ceiling draping or decor can vastly change the look and feel of the event. By adding a low hanging linear draping you can make larger rooms feel more intimate and cozy, while a full starburst ceiling draping can add a flare of grandeur. Ceilings can also be enhanced with accents & lighting, such as oversized chandeliers, to give the event an extra touch of luxury.

Whatever you decide for the ceiling, it is very important you have the correct tools, hardware & techniques to execute the design in a safe and efficient manner. Whenever planning a ceiling draping, you’ll want to ensure you do your research by visiting the venue, identifying potential connection or support points, measure ceiling heights, and discussing the proposed design with the venue manager. Finally, you’ll want to ensure you have the correct ladders or skyjack to reach the ceiling! 

By the end of Unit 2: Ceiling Draping & Hardware – you will have all the skills to effectively design, plan & execute a variety of ceiling drapings & ceiling draping alternatives!
