Description
The Snow Storm Draped Entrance is designed to make the transition into a Christmas or Winter Wonderland event feel like part of the experience itself. Rather than guests simply walking through a standard venue doorway, it creates a dedicated themed arrival that immediately introduces the wintry setting waiting on the other side.
It is particularly effective for Winter Wonderland parties, where the entrance can become the starting point for a much larger transformation. Continue the theme beyond the doorway with flocked trees, snowy foliage, white and silver décor and winter scenery to create the impression that guests have stepped into a completely different environment. Larger feature pieces such as our Ski Lift, Ski Rack Prop and Ski Sign Prop can then take the setting towards an Alpine or Après Ski direction.
For Christmas parties, the Snow Storm Draped Entrance provides a strong welcome for corporate celebrations, festive dinners, awards evenings and private events. Once guests have passed through the entrance, the styling can continue with Christmas trees, presents, festive table centres and seasonal props throughout the main room. Our Sleigh – Deluxe, Sleigh – Red or Sleigh with Presents could provide a focal point elsewhere in the venue, helping create a natural progression from the arrival experience into the main event.
The entrance can also work particularly well for Narnia-inspired events and magical winter concepts. Combine it with snow-covered trees and woodland foliage immediately beyond the doorway to create the feeling of entering an enchanted frozen landscape. Additional fantasy and winter props can then be introduced deeper into the venue, allowing the entrance to act almost like the opening scene of the event.
For an Après Ski party, use the Snow Storm Draped Entrance as the gateway to an Alpine lodge or ski resort setting. Ski equipment, winter signage, rustic details and snow-covered scenery can be positioned beyond the entrance, while bars and seating areas can be styled to continue the mountain-resort atmosphere. This works especially well when transforming hotels, conference spaces and other venues where the existing surroundings need to disappear behind the theme.
The Snow Storm Draped Entrance can also help separate different areas within a larger event. Rather than only being used at the main arrival point, a themed entrance can mark the transition from a reception area into the main party, dining or entertainment space, making the reveal on the other side feel much more dramatic.
For the strongest overall effect, coordinate the entrance with the décor guests encounter throughout the rest of the event. Flocked trees, our Small Flocked Tree Table Centres, winter foliage, sleighs, presents and ski-themed props can all help carry the snowy concept from the doorway through to tables, stages, bars and photo opportunities.
Available for nationwide UK hire from iCatching Events, the Snow Storm Draped Entrance can be combined with our Christmas props, Winter Wonderland scenery, flocked trees, sleighs, ski props and festive décor to create a complete winter transformation from the moment your guests arrive.
