Are you looking to add a touch of green to your next shindig without the hassle of laying or maintaining real grass? Artificial turf at your next event can add a fun vibe in an instant to all sorts of different special occasions. In fact, it might just quickly become your new best mate for event planning! To help you on your way, here are seven creative ways to use artificial grass to spruce up your event, whether you’re an event planner, business owner, or individual party thrower. The ideas suit corporate event styling, wedding planning, and any type of party you need to set up for.
If you’d like to bring the outdoors in at your next event, you can do so by laying down some artificial turf in your Gold Coast, Byron or Brisbane venue. It’s perfect for creating a relaxed picnic vibe, even if you’re in the heart of the city. It works well when it’s too cold in winter to sit outside, but you still want an outdoorsy vibe, or in summer when it’s too hot, humid, or stormy for a party to be planned in an external setting.
Throw in some picnic blankets, baskets, and quality cutlery and napkins and you’ve got yourself a unique dining experience. Or, simply add lots of comfy cushions, low tables, and other party accessories for a fun indoor movie night.
Another way to use artificial grass at your event is to lay it down as a means of designating different areas at your event. For instance, you could place a large strip under the drinks station, another under the food buffet, and another for the relaxation zone of the venue. You could even set up an artificial turf VIP section if you’re planning a corporate event and allocating a certain number of tickets to very important people who will have their own separate space to enjoy the festivities.
Do you want to add a fun activity to your next event? If so, why not transform part of your Gold Coast or Byron Bay event space into a fun-filled miniature golf course using artificial turf for a party that’s remembered? This interactive activity is sure to be a “hole-in-one” hit with guests of all ages!
Create a series of challenging holes with various obstacles and themes that reflect your event’s theme or motif, or if it’s a corporate event you’re planning, you could incorporate company logos or products into the course design. This adds a personalised approach and also serves as an excellent social media photo sharing opportunity. You could organise a friendly competition with prizes for the best (and worst!) scores, too, which will help create even more of a buzz of excrement during your event.
If you’re planning a relaxed party or perhaps a traditionally formal one that you want people to be able to relax and have fun at, you might like to consider setting up a barefoot bar area in your venue space. Encourage your guests to ditch the thongs and go barefoot while they sip on tasty cocktails!
Use artificial turf for your event, such as a few 2m x 5m artificial grass sections or one or two longer 2m x 10m turf products, to create a comfortable barefoot bar area. It’s perfect for those balmy summer nights when you want your guests to feel the “grass” between their toes, but you don’t want to worry about any mess or upkeep!
No event is complete without an Instagram-worthy photo booth, which you can create by using artificial turf as a backdrop. Not only can you add some comfortable fake grass to the ground for your guests to stand on while they say “cheese”, but you can also bring in a pretty green wall backdrop to further elevate the outdoor look and feel of your photo backdrop.
Add some large vases full of native Aussie flora like banksias or bottlebrush for a true blue background or stick with pretty roses, happy sunflowers, or rainbow-hued gerberas, among other things. All of these elements can help party attendees loosen up for their photos, while the designs also ensure photographs don’t look too sterile or uninspiring.
Who says red carpets get to have all the fun? Shake things up at your next event by creating a striking artificial turf runway instead of a traditional red carpet one. This green carpet treatment adds a fresh, eco-friendly twist to grand entrances, fashion shows, or product launches. For an unforgettable premiere, line your turf runway with native plants like kangaroo paws or bottlebrush to create a uniquely Aussie atmosphere.
At a corporate event, you could also use the turf runway to showcase new products, with the lush green background providing an excellent contrast for photography. For weddings or formal events, a turf runway offers a whimsical alternative to traditional aisles – imagine the entire bridal party making their grand exit on a path of evergreen! Don’t forget to set up proper lighting to make your green carpet glow and ensure everyone feels like a VIP as they strut their stuff.
Lastly, if you’re planning an event or other party where children will be on the guest list, don’t forget to create a special zone just for them. You might like to keep the kids entertained with a dedicated play area on artificial turf. It’s softer than hard floors and easier to clean than real grass – a win-win for parents and event organisers alike!
By incorporating artificial turf into your upcoming event, you’re not just adding a splash of green to it but creating more interesting spaces that’ll have your guests talking long after the occasion is over.
