What are some good ideas to camouflage a church reception hall?
The biggest thing will be lighting. If you use the lighting typically found in church reception halls, it will be bright, white, florescent, and unflattering. So if you can bring in enough flattering light to keep the room well lit but disguise the room at the same time, that will help a lot. Use candles on the tables, Christmas lights on the ceiling and walls. Make sure the centerpieces are elaborate and impressive to help distract the guests attention. When it’s decorated nicely people will barely notice how spectacular the room itself is. If it’s affordable, drape fabric from the ceiling to cover the walls. Use potted plants and trees, flowers, and branches to decorate the wall you’re trying to disguise.
