Light Up Your Next Event

String lights, in all their forms, are all the rage these days. They can be added to almost anything to bring a touch of magic to your event! String lights can be used as an elegant decoration, to bring attention to an object or space, or establish a sense of ambiance.

A Sense of Ambiance

Hang string lights behind a sheer curtain to diffuse and soften the appearance of string lights while creating a warm, elegant look. Combine our pipe and drape rental with our LED string lights for the ultimate effect!

Make It Personal

Personalize your event by strategically hanging string lights to form a word or shape of an object. The options are endless with this idea! Here are just a few:

  • A newlywed’s last name
  • A heart
  • “Love”
  • “Yum”
  • “Dance”
  • “Relax”
  • A tree
  • The geometric shape

Guiding Light

Tracing the outlines of objects can help draw attention to them! Have your string lights follow the shape of doorways of entrances for a sense of magic or line them up along a pathway to guide your guests in a certain direction.

Center of Attention

Battery operated fairy lights work great as part of a centerpiece! Using a large glass vase, lantern, or bottle, arrange the fairy lights within to create a dazzling centerpiece for your table. Add other elements to this combination as well to support the theme of your event such as flowers, shells, or holiday ornaments!

Picture This…

Create a photo wall by hanging string lights horizontally and attaching pictures between the bulbs. This is a popular idea for intimate affairs such as weddings, birthday parties, and more. Not only will your photo wall look amazing, but it will also give your guests something to interact with!

Light It Up

The most common way to use string lights is by hanging them overhead. For a creative twist, hang the lights in a zig-zag pattern or have them flow downward to create a beautiful backdrop.

String lights present endless possibilities. For more ideas, contact the talented team at Grimes Events & Party Tents. We have everything you need to light up your event!

Holiday Color Palettes 2020

Colors can have a powerful effect on a person’s emotions. They can resonate with particular emotions and become associated with memories. Especially around the holidays, certain color schemes have become standard to help people feel festive. However, some new color palettes have also entered the picture this year.

Varying Shades of Blue

The Pantone color for 2020 is classic blue. That being said, we are seeing more blue holiday décor than ever before! Deep navy, classic blue, sky blue, and white make a perfect combination. The cool tones help to bring on the chill of winter, encouraging people to cozy up and get warm. This color palette is not only great for the holidays but can last throughout the entire winter season!

Deep Purples With A Touch of Gold

Magenta purple made it onto this year’s Pantone Fall/Winter 2020/21 list!  This color has been popular throughout autumn but is also adding a pop of color to holiday decorations this December! Other colors to mix with magenta purple could include eggplant, gold, and cream. This color palette exudes elegance and class. Not to mention, it is yet again a color scheme that could last all winter long!

The Classics

Red and green have and continue to be the most classic holiday color palette. Combining colors such as sage, evergreen, crimson, and wine are guaranteed to get people into the holiday spirit. Throwing in a touch of gold or silver can give your palette an extra sparkle!

Keep it traditional with a classic color palette this holiday season or try something new by going blue!

Drive-By Driveway Events

Many large events have been postponed or canceled because of COVID, but creativity has allowed us to continue celebrating special occasions! We have taken to providing our clients with opportunities to host socially distant events from the comfort of their driveway.

A Special Birthday

Recently, we helped one of our special clients celebrate their 10th birthday with a driveway event. Guests could drive by, wishing our client a happy birthday, or stop in for a socially distanced party. We transformed their driveway into a multi-colored, tie-dye extravaganza fitted with a tent, tables, goodie bags, and cupcakes! By partnering with GoFar Balloons and Bella Fiori Flower Walls, we were able to create a beautiful experience for all the attendees. Drive-by or stop in events such as these are great for celebrating anniversaries, graduation parties, birthday parties, and more while taking into consideration social distancing, health, and safety.

Host a Driveway Party

Provide your guests with a remarkable experience as they help celebrate your special day from your driveway! Whether you are looking for a casual get-together or elaborately themed party, converting your driveway for such a celebration is easy. Tents, tables, and lounge furniture can be set with ample distancing for mingling and an open house styled event. Include carpets, lighting, and textures to give your set up a unique theme.

Have a special occasion coming up? Contact us at 561-853-8368 to learn more about how we can provide you with creative solutions to help you carry on with the festivities of life!

Consulting with Grimes

As any seasoned event professional will tell you, no two events are the same. Between weather conditions, permits, and the number of guests, an event can easily become complex and overwhelming. Since details are the backbone of any event, it’s necessary to know how to handle them and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

What is Consulting?

Grimes Events & Party Tents offers a Consulting service, where we can do computer-aided design (CAD) planning and help create a vision for your event. We can also give you a list of preferred vendors for any vertical, including catering, flowers, DJs, and more! With the front of the house having over 80 years of real-world event experience and the back of house having over 100 years of combined event and install experience, we can help you understand how each piece in the event comes together and offer guidance on how to make your event a success. We believe in the importance of this service because an event can only be as successful as it is planned to be. By offering a Consulting service, we help you make the decisions that allow us to make your event successful.

What If We Need More?

During the Consulting part of the process, we may find that you need an event planner. That will be helpful in the day-to-day communications between you and your vendors. Your event planner can take our vision and help bring it to life.

At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we do more than rental supplies for parties! Since we have become South Florida’s premier tent and event rental company, we can also offer you guidance on best practices for your event and lead you to the people that can make the most of the important, smaller details.
