A Step-by-Step Checklist

Whether you’re planning a lavish awards night, an intimate dinner, or a high-impact product launch, creating a visually stunning event is all about the details. From lighting and layout to centrepieces and signage, every element contributes to the overall atmosphere and guest experience.

To help event planners—both seasoned professionals and first-timers—we’ve compiled the ultimate checklist for styling your event to perfection. With insights from the team at Table Art, this guide covers the must-have décor elements to elevate your next event from good to unforgettable.

Venue Styling Essentials

Define Your Theme and Colour Palette

Before you begin sourcing décor, clarify your theme, tone, and colour scheme. These will inform every design decision, from table styling to lighting.

Consider the event type: Is it formal, fun, futuristic?
Align your colour palette with branding or seasonal trends.
Decide if you’re going minimalist, maximalist, or somewhere in between.

Floor Plan & Flow

We're All About The Layout...

A well-designed layout sets the tone and ensures smooth guest movement.

Position entrance features and photo moments near high-traffic areas.
Create clear focal points like stages or feature tables.
Allow space for entertainment, dining, and socialising zones.

- Illuminated centrepieces enhance ambience and visibility.
- Use branded props for corporate events or personalised touches for weddings.
