Backdrops Fantastic AUSTRALIA
Whether you want to be stranded on a lush tropical island, living it up
in Las Vegas or dining in Dracula’s Castle – Backdrops Fantastic
Australia can take you there according to the company’s Valerie Ling.
Backdrops Fantastic rent one-of-a-kind hand-painted theme backdrops for
corporate events, gala awards and event productions.
“Our backdrops are really the first layer in creating the perfect
themed event,” Ms Ling said.

“You
can install a backdrop before positioning tables, placing centrepieces
or dimming the lights and immediately you can set the scene for the entire
event.
“Created
specifically with the event professional in mind, we design backdrops
that are easy to use and adjustable in height. Many clients are working
in function spaces with only a three metre ceiling height, so we created
adjustable backdrops utilising removable sections.”
Each backdrop consists of a series of sectional panels with invisible
seams that are zipped together so that no matter the height option needed,
the image on the front of the drop is never compromised.
“Quality,
consistency and innovative designs are our main objectives in producing
each of our backdrops,” Ms Ling
said.
“We have also welcomed and have subsequently created a number of
custom backdrops based upon specific themes requested from our clients.
What we are all about is servicing the client by giving plenty of options,
a great selection, and most importantly a fantastic product.”
Backdrops
Fantastic has more than 500 themed backdrops available for hire covering
such themes such as Gala Awards, Las Vegas, Disco, Medieval, Masquerade
and 50’s. Every backdrop is based upon hand painted original artwork
and designed by a talented team of 14 scenic artists. Each drop is treated
with industry standard fire retardants.
The company is based on the Gold Coast and ship to events all across Australia.

Top Trends for 2007 from Prop Shop
Some
key classic themes are in place for the dressing of gala events, awards
nights and corporate hospitality, according to Jano Dawes of The Prop
House in Brisbane.
Romance is in the air with the Midsummer Night’s Dream. Soft luxurious
fabrics in pastel shades, hints of glitter, gilded gold frames and furniture,
touches of moss and delicate ivy vines combine to create a theme that
really provides a sense of sophistication and occasion.
“The impact of repetition of contrasting colour saturation is also
back in vogue,” Ms Dawes said.
“It
ensures drama and energy at any event. By introducing a splash of colour,
such as red, the impact created is shattering, with essential key elements
including lycra cones, chandeliers and chair covers, candelabra encrusted
with jewels, glass hurricane shades, dramatic table linen, overlays and
napkins.”
