Event decor from a nutcracker-themed corporate holiday event
Varying event décor year to year is fun and refreshing. This year we were given the opportunity to bring in various nutcrackers sprinkled with other holiday details to create the perfect corporate holiday party atmosphere. The event was held at the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center Ballroom in Des Moines, Iowa. To see decor from our other holiday events visit our Holiday photo gallery.
Centerpieces
Christmas bulbs were a large component of this year’s centerpieces. However, we were able to get creative by gluing them together to make holiday trees, filling glass vases with them, and spreading them around the bases of centerpieces. This brought pops of color and sparkle to each centerpiece that was different on each table. On cocktail tables, we added a small trio of miniature poinsettias to incorporate the traditional greenery.
Ceiling and Entryway
The ceiling and entryway were made complete using over-sized ornaments. The large ornaments hanging from the ceiling stretch as long as eight foot! The use of urns and ornaments together in the entryway provided a unique entrance to the holiday party.
Nutcracker Displays
Nutcrackers were placed around the room as a unique décor piece this year. They could be found on cheese and fruit displays, dessert tables, and in a large display in the center of the room. Variation in nutcrackers that were used brought character to this décor element.
