Decorating park pavillion & bathrooms?

Any ideas? Wedding is October 31. Black tablclothes, with yellow daffodils %26amp; pink %26amp; orange gerberas are our flowers. Lots of greenery as well.



Each bathroom has one sink with a small countertop area. If flowers or candles were used to decorate it, they'd have to be small.

Decorating park pavillion %26amp; bathrooms?
Rather than decorating the bathrooms, I'd suggest putting out some little niceties - a small basket with tampons/pads, a bottle of lotion, some Shout Wipes to clean up little stains...Just make sure the bathroom is CLEAN. That'll speak worlds louder than putting flowers or candles in there. =)



Edit: I can't really help you with basket placement unless I have an idea what the bathroom looks like. You could potentially bring in little tables (or even sturdy music stands!) to put the baskets on depending on how much space is available. Throw a piece of fabric over it and it'll look just fine holding a basket of thoughtful items. =)



Alternatively, you could possibly hang the basket, either from the top edge of the nearest stall or using suction cups against some appropriate surface. (Think about those shower baskets that you can buy to hold shampoo, etc.)
Reply:Daffodils are spring flowers, you won't be able to get them for a Halloween wedding. Black tablecloths sound like a bad idea.

For the restrooms, don't crowd the counterspace with vases %26amp; candles. Look into florists clay/ modeling clay. This will allow you to stick vases %26amp; candle holders on the wall. You might also be able to hang things if the bathrooms have tile ceilings - you can run a wire above the ceiling supports and hang flowers, candles, etc. from that.

Turning your wedding into a Halloween party will be hard to explain to your children in 10 years. I wouldn't do it.
Reply:I would say not to decorate the bathrooms but place little baskets..with a box or two of floss, maybe some toothpicks, hand lotion, some of those stain removal wipes, tampons, and hair pins/bobby pins in the womens rest room, and a small sewing kit..

*add or take away whatever you need*



as for decorating the pavilion..its hard to say without actually seeing the building
Reply:The pavillion is one thing but I think you need to ask about those bathrooms, you are not renting those and they are not covered in your permit.
Reply:I love the idea of a Halloween wedding! It's the best time of year! We are getting married on the 18th of oct. this year, that's as close as we could get being that halloween isn't on a sat this year, and we had to work around osu's home game schedule.



Anyway....you might think this is cheesy but orientaltradingcompany.com has cute toilet paper with a bride and groom on it that I'm thinking about getting. They will also print personalized banners and stuff that you could use in the pavillion.

Other than that I would stick with things in season like silk leaves, berries, gourds, and stuff like that to decorate the reception.
Reply:Hi. I live in upper Michigan and have been to many park bathrooms so I have an idea of what you are describing.



Here is what I would do. IF you can bring in a little table of some kind, then you can place the basket of "bathroom items" on that. It doesn't need to be near the sink....just in some location. If not, then don't worry about the basket of essentials.



I would, however, buy 1 or even 2 wire baskets or plastic baskets of guest towels. Put them on the countertop area. Something like this:

NOTE: There are many places on the internet where you can purchase guest towels. I have even bought them at Target! They are just a little extra nicer than the brown paper in most public bathrooms! I used these for my son's wedding in the bathrooms and they were all used up by the end of the night!



If you want, get a bathroom rug and put it in front of the sink area. Make sure everything is clean and has LOTS of toilet paper!! Put extra rolls in each stall.



That's about all you can do!
