CORONATION PARTY TIPS

 

On the 6th of May 2023, the new King Charles will be crowned in Westminster Abbey, London. Monday the 8th is an extra bank holiday which spreads the celebrations over a long weekend. This significant historical and ceremonial event will be celebrated in homes and streets across the country.

 Whether you’re attending your very own street party or hosting in your garden, a pop up gazebo can help you bring your event together, providing a focal point for guests to gather and celebrate. The unpredictable British weather can bring rain or shine, so investing in a gazebo will ensure your party stays in full swing!

We have put together five creative tips to consider when celebrating this coming weekend. With a little creativity and planning, you can turn your gazebo into a fun centrepiece for your party.

                                                             

                                                          HANGING DECORATIONS

Hanging decorations can play an important role in enhancing the visual appeal of a celebration, by adding height and depth to the display.

When outside, achieving this effect can be challenging, however with a gazebo frame you can effortlessly attach bunting, balloons and lanterns to your setup. They can help create a fun and celebratory atmosphere for the event.

Decorations can make for great photo backdrops and props, which can encourage guests to take more photos and create lasting memories of the event.

If you would like to add something special, take a look at our Printed Flag Bunting which will perfectly frame your gazebo and tie together a theme or colour scheme for your party.

We also love this  Etsy Paper Bunting which can be added to the sides of your gazebo.

 

                                                          WATCHING THE CEREMONY

Using a projector to show the coronation of King Charles is a great way to create an immersive viewing experience for you and your guests.

A popular choice of many is using the wall of a gazebo as a projection surface. It is large and smooth enough to display the image clearly. Ensure it is located in a spot where everyone can see and gather around.

Choose a projector that has a high enough resolution and brightness to display the coronation ceremony clearly. Look for a projector with at least 1080p resolution and 3000 lumens of brightness. We recommend this Amazon find, 4K Wifi Projector coming in at under £100.

Simply connect the projector to your laptop, tablet, or phone, using an HDMI cable or other suitable connection and there you have your very own outside cinema!

 

                                                          TABLE DECORATIONS

Table decorations are an important aspect of event design, helping to create a welcoming and special environment for guests to enjoy.

Table decorations can help create a cohesive theme, tying colours together, making the overall design feel more cohesive and intentional.

Adding these visual interests to the space makes it more attractive and appealing to guests. Creative and unique decorations can spark conversation and create a memorable experience for everyone in attendance.

                                                                       COLOUR SCHEME

The most patriotic choice for the coronation celebration would be red, white and blue- the national colours of the United Kingdom. If the Union Jack flag will be a main feature of your event, extending these colours across all of your decorations will produce a vibrant and bold display.

If you would like to go for something a little different, opt for purple and gold. These colours are commonly used for royal events and would be a fitting choice for the coronation of King Charles.

Adding touches of silver and gold will add some sophistication, creating a luxurious and classic look.
