How to decorate a cafe for festive events

The most important and very first holiday that is held in every cafe is the opening ceremony of the cafe. The more fun the guests get, the more likely they are to come back and tell their friends and acquaintances about the cafe. The main highlight is the spectacular decoration of the cafe for the holiday at the time of opening. The path to the hearts of visitors begins from the moment the cafe opens. Then there are undoubtedly orders for family and corporate celebrations (weddings, New Year's, graduations, anniversaries).

Decorating a cafe for a holiday

Where to start

Important matters in wedding matters include the design of the hall for the celebration. For decoration work in a cafe, you can resort to the help of specialists or do the decor yourself. To avoid insurmountable difficulties, you need a plan:

• The design must be planned in advance.
• Wedding decoration should take into account the features of the interior style, the size and configuration of the room, the presence of tables and chairs.

It is necessary to clarify the quantity and shades of materials, their cost in order to draw up a budget.

It is better to decorate a small room in light shades to visually expand the space, diluting it with similar tones. It must maintain a single style.

Method 1. Pant suit

Situation: business dinner, evening with work colleagues or evening with friends

Realization: a trouser suit is always very stylish, and recently also fashionable. In it, a woman looks elegant, giving the impression of a strong and confident person. This somewhat scares off the opposite sex, but if you have no intention of finding a life partner this evening, then you can safely opt for a trouser suit.

Both classic black and dark blue variations, as well as brighter, red or viola colors, for example, are suitable. In order not to look like you just left the office, you need to do evening makeup and get rid of the strict “laconic” hairstyle. Let it be free or even slightly casual. It is not necessary to wear a shirt under a suit; a top will also work. But shoes with heels are preferable. The best thing is boat shoes. Don't forget a small clutch.

Working on design errors

Templates in wedding design are not acceptable. Copying the design of the hall leads to unsuccessful decor. Among the miscalculations are:

• Decorating what is beautiful in itself (using covers with bows for sophisticated chairs).
• When holding a holiday in natural conditions, you need to take advantage of the beauty of the landscape and play along with it. But decorators decorate it with balls, vases with flowers from isolon against the backdrop of living plants.

Such decor requires enormous financial costs with zero aesthetic effect.

It is better to adapt wedding decor to a hall decorated in one of the design styles rather than changing the existing one. This is fraught with enormous costs of money, effort and time. It is better to choose another room that is close in style to the ideas of the celebration.

Method 5. Floor-length dress

Situation: gala dinner, presentation, corporate event

Implementation: remember that you are not going to a ball, red carpet or wedding. There is no need to wear a dress with a cake-shaped full skirt, all embroidered with stones from top to bottom. Brevity is the sister of talent, and moderation is the sister of a stylish image. Let the dress be closed but fitted, without active details but made of beautiful material. Carefully consider your hairstyle, makeup, manicure. Shoes - with heels, but with a comfortable last, then you will feel calm and confident all evening.

The worst outfit ideas for corporate events

Stylists have highlighted a number of unsuccessful looks for a corporate evening.

Among them:

• openwork dresses made of organza or lace fabrics. The style of such outfits does not overlap with business at all and is more defined as romantic;
• outfits with a very active print : large flowers and patterns, an abundance of rhinestones and stones, animalistic patterns. Leopard print dresses with deep necklines are bad taste and bad taste;
• too soft fabrics . It is better to give preference to textured samples that hold their shape well;
• sporty style in evening establishments . For some women, casual wear is sneakers and turtlenecks. A corporate event is a reason to think about changing your image;
• sexy details: fishnet tights, peeking stockings, see-through underwear can create the wrong impression on employees and managers;

• monochrome black images will create a mournful mood, not a festive one.

Before a corporate event, you can look at photos of successful images on the Internet from famous stylists. This will help you decide how to dress for the party. For a woman, the main thing is to relax, have fun and chat with employees in an informal place, not forgetting that tomorrow you will have to encounter the same people again in a work environment.

Style motifs in design

Winter celebrations are decorated in European styles. The main details for a wedding are thick light curtains, a fireplace fire, chandeliers, and candlesticks. Christmas fir wreaths with orange scent are suitable for decorating the entrance.

There are many options for wedding decorations in different styles:

• In the traditions of the Russian people, details of national clothes with ornaments, embroideries, fabric napkins, and cotton tablecloths are used for weddings.
• Loft-style rooms have brick walls, where a minimal amount of laconic decor is placed.
• The café, the color of Marsala wine (crimson), exudes luxury. This year's trend, complemented by golden shades, is reminiscent of Baroque.
• The design based on a French village remains popular and inimitable. The halls are filled with the subtle scent of lavender branches, linen tablecloths and capes, and wicker furniture.

Decorating weddings in Shabi-chic, a romantic, sophisticated style never goes out of style. It is characterized by floral prints, chairs with covers, napkins with lace, pastel shades of fresh flowers.

Outfits for office corporate events

It can be difficult to gather the entire team at a certain time and in a specific place, then the location of the holiday becomes the place of work itself, if this does not contradict the corporate charter. Wearing a floor-length evening dress or a shiny suit in this case would not be appropriate.

Often corporate holidays begin immediately after the working day, so you should take into account that you need to work all day in the chosen outfit. Changing clothes sometimes doesn't make sense. Therefore, the outfit is chosen in a business style with festive accents. This could be an elegant sheath dress with a bright belt or brooch.

You can choose a pencil skirt, for example, in silver or gold, and choose a calm jacket: gray or black.

A pair of shoes made of an unusual material or color can enhance the look and make it bright. Light-colored suede shoes will look great with a matching pantsuit. Red shoes are a classic that goes with everything. It is necessary to take care of styling or hairstyle on this day in the morning. Makeup can be brightened immediately before the event.

The best DIY wedding decoration ideas

The homemade decor is amazing. Such decoration for a wedding will cost less. Common DIY design methods include:

• Decoration with balls, combined with the shade of textiles (curtains, covers, tablecloths). They are used to create figures of newlyweds, hearts, rings, arches, animals, birds, garlands, stars.
• The most popular are red balls, which decorate the dance floor, entrance, and the table of the newlyweds.
• They use vases and flowers from isolon on the walls.
• Design with light transparent fabrics (chiffon, mesh, tulle, guipure). They decorate the walls, ceiling, covers.
• Decorating a cafe with flowers is a win-win option. The design of flowers made from isolon is not inferior to fresh flowers.
• The autumn decoration of the hall from orange, yellow, crimson leaves and twigs looks fantastic.

Rules for choosing clothes for a corporate party by age

How a woman should dress for a corporate event (photos of successful and unsuccessful options can be found on the Internet) must be decided taking into account age. Young and unmarried girls should not show their status with their entire appearance: flashy and vulgar outfits with deep necklines or miniskirts will not be appropriate .

Bright makeup will also look strange, especially if the girl has never used it at work. A corporate party, even though it is a holiday, involves a meeting of employees, not friends and comrades, therefore the style of clothing should be between business and evening.

Older women should give preference to sophisticated outfits and not try to look as young as possible.

A correctly selected bow, combined with well-placed accents, will emphasize femininity and a sense of personal style. Older women also have to work hard on their evening look. Hair and styling is a must for them. An outfit should be chosen strictly according to your body type, emphasizing your strengths and hiding your flaws.

Makeup can be made a little brighter. Smart trouser suits in this case are a winning option. It is advisable to choose comfortable shoes with low heels.

External design of the courtyard area and entrance group

The cafe has been preparing since the end of November. New Year's decoration of cafes and restaurants requires a careful approach so that the cheerful meeting with Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden is a success.

They start decorating the institution from the entrance, the outer showcase, the territory, in order to attract the attention of passers-by:

• The simplest entrance design is multi-colored garlands.
• The design arsenal includes popular lighting elements (light sculptures, neon cords, LEDs).
• A special photo zone is being created at the entrance, making visitors want to leave a memory of the holiday.
• The territory of the yard is like a fairy tale in reality - unusual compositions, luminous ribbons, bows on columns, lanterns, gates, fences, tree branches.

Decoration of cafes and restaurants for graduation parties

Decorating halls with balloons for graduation is considered popular. This design has many advantages:

• It adds solemnity to the atmosphere of children growing up and saying goodbye to childhood.
• The material is easy to attach to any surface.
• The airy world of balloons easily fills spacious rooms.

Talented decorators are able to create not only arches, columns, fountains, garlands, but also fill the walls with compositions that cause indescribable delight among children, parents, and guests of the celebration.

Shooting options

When photographing an anniversary, the master uses various types of photography. Of course, the bulk of the photographs will be taken in reportage mode. The ability to properly use the lighting available in the room will help the photographer get high-quality photographs. If the restaurant has a intimate atmosphere, slightly dimmed, diffused light, then the specialist will use a flash, and its use also requires special knowledge.

The presence of a professional photographer will be almost invisible. He knows how to appear in the right place without causing inconvenience to the guests of the holiday. It will not interfere with dancers participating in competitions. At the same time, not a single interesting moment or funny episode escapes his attention.

In any restaurant or cafe you can find a particularly colorful, originally designed corner, where, at the request of the hero of the day and guests of the celebration, a photo session can be held and staged shots can be taken. To do this, you can take advantage of breaks in the official part of the program. Such pictures will add variety to a photo album. This could be a large photo with all the guests, photos with friends, relatives, co-workers.

Our agency’s specialists will select the most successful photographs, carry out additional processing and, if necessary, adjust the images and create a photo album or photo book about the past holiday. You will start a new page in your life, but the holiday will remain with you. At any time, you can open the album and immerse yourself in its fun, exciting atmosphere again.

Outfit for New Year's corporate party

How to dress for a corporate event as a woman (photos of ready-made outfits can be purchased from stylists along with a personal consultation) - most often this task arises before the New Year holidays. New Year is a time of magic, fireworks and playful mood. This means that you should approach the choice of outfit with the mindset to shine and stand out.

Perhaps this is the only reason for corporate evenings to dress brightly and boldly. Sequins and lurex fabrics are in fashion today, so a long floor-length dress decorated with these elements would be an excellent choice. For a more modest outfit, you can choose a pantsuit that fits your figure, and wear a mother-of-pearl top with sparkles under the jacket.

Floating midi-length skirts made of shiny fabrics in combination with a calm top will also attract the eyes of others.

Another trend for fall-winter 2021 is leather products combined with chiffon or any other light fabrics. The combination of rough and gentle is very popular. A lingerie-style silk T-shirt with a leather pencil skirt will highlight the girl’s curves, and high-heeled shoes will complement the New Year’s look.

Floristry in cafe design

The best birthday gift is fresh flowers. This is a popular type of cafe design for birthdays. They are used:

• at the entrance, in photo zones;
• hanging arrangements, flower garlands;
• banquet hall premises;
• bouquets on festive tables.

Floristry harmoniously combines with textiles and occupies its own corner in the kingdom of nature during outdoor celebrations.

How does the accounting system help you with optimization issues?

We are currently using Poster POS. The program for a restaurant is the fundamental axis of our entire establishment, everything revolves around it, all incoming and outgoing products, all sales go through it, all receipts go through it. The only thing that I personally don’t do at Poster is I don’t manage the cash register, but this is my privilege and my peculiarity. I'm afraid that someone might look at something, there are some subtleties. It’s convenient for me when I personally take the cash register every day and count everything.

For example, I do cash collections and all these details are displayed in the finance menu, it’s convenient for me. Also with the cash register shift, I just come up, count the money and see how much money is missing, how much was collected and for what.
