The Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing Event Decor

Avoid common event decor mistakes with these expert tips from Floral Reflections, NJ. Learn how to choose the right rentals and styling for a stunning, stress-free celebration.

Planning a party or wedding is exciting, but choosing the wrong decor can lead to a look that feels disjointed or underwhelming. At Floral Reflections NJ, we’ve seen how small decor decisions make a big impact. Here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid when planning your event decor, plus how to do it right.

1. Ignoring the Venue Style

Mistake: Choosing decor that clashes with the venue. 

Solution: Match your flower walls, signage, and mirrors to the existing style. For example, a rustic barn looks great with wooden details and greenery, while a ballroom suits glam flower walls and gold-framed mirrors.

2. Forgetting About Focal Points

Mistake: Spreading decor too thin or not highlighting key areas. 

Solution: Focus on high-impact areas like the cake table, entrance, or photo spot and make them pop with flower walls or a personalized mirror.

3. Overdecorating or Mismatching Themes

Mistake: Mixing too many colors, signs, or floral styles. 

Solution: Stick to a theme or palette and build around it. Our curated rentals are designed to coordinate beautifully for cohesive elegance.

4. Waiting Too Long to Book Decor Rentals

Mistake: Thinking you can book a popular item the month of your event. 

Solution: Reserve your favorite flower walls, mirrors, and signage early, especially during peak seasons in New Jersey. We often book out months in advance!

5. DIY-ing Large Installations Last Minute

Mistake: Trying to assemble your own flower wall or signage setup hours before guests arrive. 

Solution: Let us handle setup and breakdown so you can enjoy your day stress-free. We’ll make sure everything looks perfect, on time.

Bonus Tip: Ask for Guidance
