Dreams of magnificent celebrations are successfully realized by decorators. Representatives of this profession are well versed in design styles. Thanks to their well-developed artistic taste, they know perfectly well how to decorate a gazebo for a birthday or wedding at no extra cost.
General Principles
First of all, you should choose high-quality decor elements that are resistant to mechanical stress and bad weather. The support posts of the structure can be decorated with colored ribbons and live plants in a flower pot. In the summer gazebo, covered with an awning, there will definitely be space for an arch of blooming roses.
A festive mood will be created by combined bouquets of roses, sunflowers and daisies. If you want to decorate window openings with your own hands, do not forget about the rules for combining cold and hot palettes. For example, white objects stand out against the background of blue and yellow objects. Pink is best combined with olive and chocolate, and invigorating orange with lilac or purple.
In 80% of cases, the choice of decorations depends on the style of the interior.
For example, French Provence means old furniture with patina, a festive white palette, patterned tablecloths and chipboard paintings.
It’s easier for supporters of the loft. The main attributes of this style are raw surfaces and dark colors, so the standard inscription “Happy Birthday!” will be quite enough.
Chalet-style decor is inconceivable without hunting trophies, field forget-me-nots and wood crafts.
When preparing for the celebration, you do not need to use:
- Paper decorations. In windy weather, they quickly become unusable.
- Artificial flowers can be used year-round, but since they absorb positive energy, this is not worth it.
- Poisonous plants, especially hydrangea, jasmine, crocuses and callas.
- Photos that evoke bad memories.
- Fabric cloths from cheap materials. Such products are not able to protect against heat and insects, and their poor texture highlights defects in walls and other surfaces even more.

From this video you will learn how to decorate the gazebo for the holiday.
On the day of birth
Contrary to superstitions, every seventh celebrates round dates. On this day, everything that evokes positive associations can be used as decorations – from funny pictures to cutlery with an interesting history. As an example, it is worth offering original candlesticks in the form of mermaids and aromatic lamps.
Balls
Foil balloons impress with a variety of shapes and shades, but they quickly deflate with temperature changes. In this case, it is better to use latex products filled with helium. Thanks to the special Hi-Float impregnation, they retain their original appearance for several months.
Air figures are suitable for a children’s birthday. They should decorate the entrance to the gazebo and the clearing around. Glowing balloons are perfect for an evening celebration. If bright light adversely affects vision, it is better to use products with a weak glow. But the thread balls of our own production are suitable for decorating ceilings and doorways. If desired, they can decorate tall shrubs around the gazebo.
Flowers and garlands
The holiday should be bright in every sense of the word. Therefore, it will be useful to purchase LED strips. They evenly distribute light around the entire perimeter of the room, and their low power consumption contributes to minimal energy consumption. With self-assembly of such structures, it is necessary:
- cut the tape into fragments 5–6 m long;
- strip the ends of the wire;
- tighten fasteners;
- connect the system to the network;
- attach the tape to the adhesive backing on the ceiling, to the window and door openings of the extension.
A summer gazebo can be beautifully decorated with falling garlands. For decorating a roof or porch, mini-curtains with a white shimmer effect are more suitable.
Serpentine will make unusual decorations for garden furniture, complemented by felt and plastic. If you prefer live plants, gerberas, alstroemerias, and ornamental sunflowers will do. Their viability in the cut often exceeds 5-7 days.
Wedding
In addition to traditional posters and arches, amateur decorators will definitely need foam monograms. For greater effect, they should be covered with sparkles. Given the style of the wedding, you can choose the most suitable decor items.
So, the classic favors pastel colors, fragrant floral arrangements and furniture with expensive upholstery. Cards with the names of the invitees can be decorated with ribbons and rhinestones. The decoration of the gazebo in the Empire style involves the use of light statues and columns. In choosing colors, it is better to give preference to all shades of pink.
Floral decoration
It is better to decorate window openings and the territory at the entrance with living plants. These can be freshly cut roses, peonies, gerberas, field daisies, irises or freesias. They make stylish mono-bouquets, wreaths and prefabricated compositions. To improve the viability of cut flowers, you need to remove drooping leaves in a timely manner. Chrysanthemums are rightfully considered the queen of autumn. If the stems are properly trimmed, they can stand in a bouquet for more than a month.
Regardless of the style, the arch is considered the main wedding attribute. It can be semicircular, square or rectangular. In the choice of materials for the design of the frame, it is better to give preference to metal structures or products on a wooden basis. They can be installed on any basis. Of the living elements, you will need cornflowers, chamomile, dandelions and rattan. This is the best decoration for a gazebo for a wedding.
World
Glowing balls and garlands warm up the atmosphere of romance. Finished products can be ordered online or made by hand. To do this, you will need 12 V light bulbs, plastic cups, scissors, double-sided tape and glue. The optimal distance between the LEDs is 15 cm. They must be properly soldered to the wires, and for better fixation of the bulbs, use sealant. Upon completion of work, install the power supply and resistor.
To avoid fires, do not use garlands with a power of more than 60 watts.
Textile
To drape metal racks, breathable fabrics are needed – chiffon or organza. And since fragile decorations can deteriorate under the influence of bad weather, it is better to hang curtains made of tear-resistant acrylic from the outside. Inside – lambrequins and bows. The backs of the chairs should be decorated with taffeta decorated with beads and Czech beads.
The most original garlands and pendants are made from lace. Window openings and railings can be decorated with crease-resistant tulle pompoms.
