Consider purchasing a complete prom <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">theme<\/a> that includes everything you need. Place pieces strategically around your space, arranging them to best suit the area you have to work with. You might have to get creative with odd-shaped areas or parts of the room that you have to work around, like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Ceilings:<\/strong> Depending on the look, you might not need to do anything at all. Beautiful, ballroom-style ceilings will work perfectly as they are. Unsightly ceilings can be covered with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/decorations\/fabrics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fabric<\/a> (use a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/decorations\/fabrics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">magnet kit<\/a>, so you don&#8217;t\u00a0damage the\u00a0ceiling), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/decorations\/chandeliers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chandeliers<\/a>, or patterned background <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/decorations\/wall-coverings\/patterned-paper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">paper<\/a> to match your theme.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">Corners:<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\"> Turn odd-shaped corners or nooks into part of your theme by filling them with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/props-and-kit-separates\/columns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">columns<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/props-and-kit-separates\/silhouettes-and-stand-ups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">silhouettes<\/a> and stand-ups, or theme accent pieces, like trees, or streetlights.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">Bleachers or Lockers:<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\"> Large areas like these can actually be used to your advantage when it comes to decorating for Prom. Cover with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/decorations\/murals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">murals<\/a> or background paper and use them as your theme background or photo backdrops.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Prom Tables<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You don\u2019t want your prom tables to stand out; you want them to blend in with your theme d\u00e9cor as much as possible. To do this, cover tables with fabric, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/decorations\/wall-coverings\/cracked-ice\/48-in-x-24-ft-decorating-cracked-ice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cracked ice<\/a>, or paper that matches your theme. Line with lights and add chair covers and sashes to chairs. Accent both tables and chairs with coordinating d\u00e9cor, so they become part of your theme instead of extra pieces.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/photo-booth-themes-and-props\/photo-booth-themes-and-backdrops\/360-1-4-selfie-photo-op\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4818\" src=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Prom_selfieStation1-300x231.jpg\" alt=\"Prom_Venue_Decoration_Ideas_Selfie_Station\" width=\"370\" height=\"285\" \/><\/a>Prom Photo Ops<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Finding a space for a photo area can be tricky, because these spaces often don\u2019t fit in with the tone of your theme. Here are a few Prom venue decoration\u00a0ideas\u00a0for photo spaces:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set up a photo area at the entrance (works well with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/complete-themes\/hollywood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hollywood<\/a> or Red Carpet theme), so as not to ruin the flow of the theme decorations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Create a separate space (or room) away from the rest of the theme for a selfie station or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/photo-booth-themes-and-props\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">photo booth<\/a>. Stock it with props and give teens space to spread out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t have a designated photo area. Encourage students to take their own pics throughout the night and post on social media.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Seamlessly integrating your Prom theme and your venue is an important part of giving your teens the full Prom experience. Take advantage of these easy ideas, and get creative with your own, to create the perfect memorable event for all your Prom attendees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Like these Prom venue decoration ideas?
