While Christmas may still feel months away, September is actually one of the busiest times of year for professional event stylists. Businesses, venues and private customers who want their festive celebrations to look truly memorable know that booking early makes all the difference.
At Events Right, we begin planning Christmas installations long before the decorations appear in the shops. From elegant corporate Christmas parties and festive product launches to winter weddings and family celebrations, our diary starts filling quickly as autumn arrives.
If you’re thinking about hosting a Christmas event, here’s why September is the perfect time to secure your décor.
The Best Dates Book Up First
December is one of the busiest months in the events industry.
Many venues hold Christmas parties every Thursday, Friday and Saturday throughout the month, meaning decorators often have multiple installations taking place on the same day.
Booking early gives you the best chance of securing:
- Your preferred event date
- Your ideal installation time
- Your first choice of props
- More flexibility for bespoke designs
Waiting until November often means fewer options are available.
More Time Means Better Bespoke Designs
Every event is different.
Some customers simply want elegant balloon displays, while others are looking for complete venue transformations with bespoke props, personalised backdrops and branded installations.
Booking in September allows plenty of time to:
- Discuss ideas
- Finalise colour schemes
- Design personalised signage
- Manufacture bespoke props
- Plan installation logistics
Rather than choosing from what’s available, you’ll receive décor designed specifically for your event.
Corporate Christmas Parties Continue to Grow
Christmas celebrations have become far more than a festive meal.
Businesses now use Christmas events to:
- Celebrate achievements
- Thank staff
- Entertain clients
- Launch new products
- Recognise milestones
- Strengthen company culture
Professional event styling helps create an atmosphere that reflects your business and leaves a lasting impression on guests.
Popular corporate décor includes:
- Branded balloon columns
- Balloon arches
- Bespoke sailboards
- Festive photo backdrops
- Custom props
- Light-up numbers and letters
- Welcome displays
Christmas Balloon Décor Isn’t Just Red and Green
One of the biggest trends in recent years has been moving away from traditional Christmas colours.
Many customers now choose themes such as:
- Champagne and white
- Gold and ivory
- Emerald green and gold
- Black and gold
- Silver and white
- Navy and silver
- Burgundy with metallic accents
Professional balloon décor can be tailored to suit your brand, venue or personal style.
Create a Christmas Photo Opportunity
One of the most popular additions to Christmas events is a dedicated photo backdrop.
Guests love capturing memories, and businesses benefit from photographs being shared across social media.
Popular combinations include:
- Balloon garlands
- Sailboards
- Flower walls
- Sequin walls
- Personalised vinyl
- LED numbers or letters
- Festive props
A professionally styled backdrop quickly becomes the centrepiece of the event.

Christmas décor isn’t just for corporate events.
We regularly style:
- Staff parties

Leaving décor until the last minute often adds unnecessary pressure.
