Decorate Prom Like a Star

There are several ways you can decorate prom like a star: Hollywood Star, Rock Star, or Star Star! By the date of this posting, you probably have your star theme for this year settled so we’ve included some additional product ideas and tips.

If your plans are still  up in the air, read on to get a feel for which type of star best suits your school’s personality.

Hollywood Star. A Hollywood theme is perennially popular because everybody knows the script! Strong, dramatic colors like black with splashes of silver and red are the way to go here. So is plenty of glitz. Line a wall with silver metallic curtains. Host a Grand March under a star arch. Turn on a spotlight and pull out the red carpet for a paparazzi-laden stroll. Lay a path of Hollywood stars with attendee’s names and set tables with Hollywood movie camera centerpieces.

Rock Star. The Rock Star theme is a newer one but great fun because it’s over the top! This is the time to use a bold and unusual color scheme such as purple with red. Cover a wall or two with spot-lit Rock Star Scene Setters room rolls. Set up the Rock Star Theme decorating kit – complete with fan standees! – on the stage to make it the dominant feature of the party room. Prop inflatable instruments against amplifiers, and finish tables in die-cut musical notes and Rock Star metallic confetti.

Star & Moon. Starry night themes were some of the first prom themes ever, and they are an enduring favorite because they are romantic by nature and just so very versatile as well. Create a ballroom floor banked by a wall of starry window murals, or take prom “outside” by decorating with star-themed background materials and garden theme party decorations. A third option is to make moon and stars the only focus with one of our breathtaking star theme kits that whisk you to the Milky Way.

So there you have it: three ways to look at stars for prom. Have fun with your star theme prom, and happy decorating!

Create a Romantic Event with a Before Night Falls Prom Theme

For your prom, combine the beauty of a garden with the natural romance of a waterfall using the Before Night Falls Decorating Kit. The kit includes beautiful decorations that can totally transform your prom venue into a stunning scene.

The Before Night Falls Garden Kit includes two waterfalls, one lamppost, one pair of fir trees, one curved fence section and one straight fence section plus one bench.

Create a backdrop for your decorations using dark blue flat paper or royal blue gossamer to cover the walls. Use cobblestone flat or corrugated paper to cover the floor, creating the illusion of a garden walkway.

Next, set up your waterfalls. The Before Night Falls waterfalls are made of blue water gossamer and twinkle lights draped over cardboard tubes. They stand 10’ high and 10’ wide. Iridescent shred completes the look adding a light-catching shine.

Set up the Before Night Lamppost to add a charming accent. The fir trees add a natural touch.

The Before Night fence set separates the waterfalls from the floor. The fence is a great addition to photo settings.

Finish it all off with a Before Night bench. The bench is the perfect place for students to take pictures. It stands 19” high and 3’ wide. It makes the whole set-up look more like a park.

Fill out the theme kit with a variety of fake or real plants and flowers. Greenery such as silk ivy garland is an excellent choice.

Have tickets and memory booklets custom printed to match your theme. The Garden Silhouette Booklet is a great pick. It features a silver ivy pattern and your custom wording. The book is held together with a silver cord’n’tassel. Check out our Memory Booklet Tips for more idea.
