Answer 1

I think you can definitely make it look nice. I think that the best, and probably cheapest thing to do, is to get some lighting. If you add the right lighting up against the walls in will cast a glow and make it look very romantic and beautiful when the lights are turned off.

Maybe think about getting some blue lights, like this:

You could also put white lights up against the wall for a soft flow like this:

There are plenty of things that you can do to make it look beautiful. No worries...it will work out.

Answer 3

We transformed a crappy school gym into a winter wonderland and it looked fabulous. Get people to scrounge around and give you  plastic buckets. You will need one bucket for every  4 or 5 feet of the entire perimeter of the hall. Then go out to the woods and cut down equal height of full branches of trees or bushes - no leaves required. Buy white spray paint and spray all the branches AND THE PLASTIC BUCKETS. When wet, throw on some sparkle (craft store). Fill the buckets with fast-setting post concrete OR (cheaper) make a mixture of newspaper shreds and white glue and stuff it really packed into the buckets. Stick the bushes in while wet so it dries hard around them for a stable base. You could tie each bucket with a ribbon in your color theme if you wanted. Get cheap fairy lights ($5 a string) and put lights on each bush or tree. To save money (we did!) we borrowed white fairy lights from everyone we knew. they all had at least one string stashed in their Christmas decorations box. (Be sure to put a label on each one you borrow.) Even if you had to BUY the fairy lights and needed to spend $300. you will have a "look" that would cost $2000 from a decorator. If you can spend $350, I would even buy 2 pkgs (30 yards each) of white tulle from Michaels and weave it through the branches to connect your little forest.
