Home / Why Choose Dream Circus Theming For Your Next Event

So you’re looking to host a party and you know you want to transform your event space with an epic theme, but you’re not sure what theme to pick. Well, have we got a treat for you! Our dream circus event theming option is a fantastic option for all kinds of parties and events and is sure to capture your guest’s imagination.

In this blog, we will talk about all the components you’ll want to consider when booking your dream circus theming. Plus we’ve included loads of images of our dream circus events to help you get inspired!

What is Dream Circus Event Theming

Brimming with oddities, curiosities and magical mystique, our dream circus theme is a grown-up take on our traditional circus event theming.

Drenched in a monotone colour palette of blacks and whites, and using texture and patterns to create psychedelic displays, this theme has the ability to completely transform your event space.

The beauty of this unique party theme is that every iteration of the theme is always unique and designed bespoke for each client. We can incorporate exactly what our clients want, and bring in their ideas of what a dream circus would look like for them.

Props and Decorations For Your Dream Circus Theming

As mentioned we can tailor this theme to suit our client’s exact preferences, but below we have outlined some of our most popular props, decorations and displays used for dream circus theming.

Cloud Props

One of the most impactful ways you can instantly transform your event space for dream circus themed events is by suspending giant fluffy cloud props from the ceiling.

Not only does this maximise on making the most of your space, but it also creates a really immersive event space as guests are completely surrounded from floor to ceiling in the event theme. Although our cloud props work really well for event spaces with high ceilings, they can look equally as good in small spaces and we can add in as many or as few clouds as desired.

Furthermore, we can also project video mapping onto the clouds to create a really atmospheric environment.

Monochrome Animals

When you think of an old-fashioned circus you think of a menagerie of animals including mighty elephants, dancing bears and elegant horses. But for a dream circus, we picture the animals looking a little different.

For this theme, we created bespoke animal props painting all our animals in black to fit the monochrome aesthetic of the dream circus. Using our giant black elephant as the focal point of the whole event space, we then added in various other monochrome animal props to keep the theme consistent throughout the venue space.

Balloon Backdrops

Balloons can be a great way of creating amazing installations and backdrops at all kinds of parties and events. To stick with the grown-up feel of our dream circus event theming, we wanted to incorporate balloons but stuck to using just black and white colours to add a little sophistication to the finished look.

Depending on your venue space, you may want to have huge floor-to-ceiling backdrops, or you may want to get creative and have archways or poles.

By using a variety of different size balloons and creating a really large-scale installation we were able to ensure that the balloon backdrop had the ultimate impact as guests entered the dream circus themed event space.

We also included painted back boards to the ballon backdrop to add another layer of pattern and interest.

Projections and Lighting

No themed event is complete without some clever lighting and projections, and this couldn’t be more true than when it comes to decorating your dream circus event space.

We are able to incorporate all kinds of different lighting and projection displays into your venue dressing. From branded logo projection to projection mapping over props, mood lighting, atmospheric projections and more.

We can stick to a monotone palette to compliment your dream circus theming, or alternatively, we can add a pop of colour to add a bit more dimension to your event.

Photo Areas

We know how important it is for guests to be able to get killer content in front of amazing photo areas. Therefore, we can create all kinds of different dedicated photo areas around your dream circus themed event.

Incorporating props, draping, lighting and more we can create the perfect backdrop for any photo and we can even set up photographers on hand to take professional shots of guests that can either be printed out or sent digitally to guests.

Black and White Props

To keep a consistent theme running through your entire event we can hand-select all kinds of black and white props that will carry your dream circus theme. Sourcing all kinds of curious items, from unicycles to podiums, giant hot air balloons to carousel horses.

Additionally, we can create and build bespoke black-and-white props for your event. For example, if you want a certain backdrop painted or a giant neon logo building, our in-house team of designers is able to bring your vision to life.

Monochrome Chill-Out Zones

After all that mingling and exploring the venue space, your guests may want to take the weight off their feet and find somewhere to sit and enjoy their drinks.

Therefore, we can create lots of different chill out areas for guests. Sourcing all kinds of monochrome seating, from plush velvet sofas, to imposing black chairs and unique seating options, we’ll ensure guests can relax and soak up the details of your dream circus event.
