I need help decorating for my wedding reception!!! Please help!?

Question

Hello all! I am getting married in a lodge next spring. The problem is there are huge moose head hanging from the walls! They are so ugly, and I want someway to hide/detour them, but I don't know what to use... I had originally thought of some sort of tree or wall linen hangy thing? lol.. but I haven't figured anything out. We are not allowed to take them down, so that idea is out. I can even make something if I had an idea to do so off of. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated too! Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You knew they were an issue when you chose the place.Make them part of the wedding theme.Make your wedding setting as if you were in the mountains or in the woods.Incorporate camouflage into your wedding colors.If your wedding is in the fall.Fall colors would be easy to work into the unwanted wall decor.

Answer 2

Depending on what the ceilings are like you may be able to drop fabric covered lightweight wood frames in front of them.  It won't completely make them disappear but the fabric frames would be an attractive distraction.  Use the colors in your wedding and get creative with it.

Answer 3

Dress them up as if they were invited guests!

Obviously you don't have a choice, so make them fun, if the lodge owners don't mind.

Something simple, like a top hat on one with  an ascot , veil on another ( maybe some snow ball earrings from a craft store with clothes pins to hold them on).

They may just be the best guests there! They can't insult anyone, get drunk and obnoxious, step on your toes while dancing, they don't eat much,take up to much space on the floor and you don't have to give them a ride home.

The down side is, I don't think they will be giving you a wedding gift. I wouldn't expect anniversary card either.

Sorry you are stuck with them, but I think once you get there, you will hardly notice them, because you are going to have stars in your eyes for your husband. By the time you walk into that lodge, you will be Mrs....................!

My early congratulations to you, enjoy, and good luck!

You know what else you could use... lighting. If you direct lighting away from or from above the moose heads, they won't be as noticeable. Some type of drop lighting that is lower than the heads, that is if they are high up a high celing wall.
