Ideas for Greek Party Decorations

Bringing Greek Architecture to your Home: To add classical Greek touch to your party so that the ambiance is reminiscent of classical Greek architecture, use various types of Grecian columns, terra cotta urns, and classical statue busts made of paper mache. In addition you can find a number of pedestals and Greek balustrades at various party stores and even online that you can use in your decorating.

Choosing the Colors: Decorate the party venue in colors of gold and white or use the blue and white colors of the Greek flag. You can also use features like grapevines, oil-burning lamps and ivy vine garlands for that ancient Greek feel. To add a golden touch to your home, spray gold paint to cover all the decorations. Along with it, you can drape and sway white or gold gossamer across ceilings, walls, and the edges of table skirting, for that dramatic effect.

Lighting the Greek way: Candles provide a beautiful and exotic ambiance to the setting. You can use floating candles with vintage candle holders, done up in gold. Use mirrors at the base of the candle holder and enjoy the romantic effect this setting provides.

Using Balloons: Yes, I know there were no balloons in ancient Greece. However, when white and golden balloons are used to decorate the space, they can transform a room of any size into a cozy space, in minutes, at a very low cost.

Table Decorations: For the table decorations use golden colored plastic dinner plates, and napkins, glass, spoons to match. Or else, you can use a gold paint pen to draw random Roman numerals or the Grecian block pattern, on the handles of white plastic cutlery. For the table cloth, you can use a simple white cloth and drape ivy gold garland along the edges or use a golden table skirt. If you are using plastic tablecloth then find one with large golden swirls, a Grecian block pattern or Roman numerals on it. For the table centerpiece, you can place laurel wreaths and gold candles or use a golden votive candle holders with tealights.

Most of the Greek party supplies are available at party stores, as well as online. If you find these decorations too expensive then with a little creativity and imagination you can make them yourself. After all, the most important part is to have fun!
