- 2 min reading time
Throwing your own Oktoberfest? Here’s how to decorate a hall, garden, or living room with blue-and-white decorations, pennant banners, balloons, and table décor.
For an Oktoberfest party at home or in a hall, the Bavarian blue-and-white checkered pattern is the foundation. With garlands, bunting, balloons, and table decorations in those colors, the atmosphere is set within an hour. In this article, you will set up your own Wiesn step by step with items from the Oktoberfest decorations collection.
Which colors do you use for Oktoberfest decorations?
The standard colors are Bavarian blue and white, usually in a checkered pattern. Complement them with wood-look elements, beer mug motifs, and phrases like O'zapft is. By sticking to one color scheme, even a living room looks like a party tent.
Hanging Oktoberfest garlands and bunting
Start with the lines above the space: hang Oktoberfest garlands crisscrossing the hall and finish the edges with Oktoberfest bunting. This makes the ceiling appear lower and immediately gives the space the feel of a tent.
Setting the table for Oktoberfest
Cover the tables with blue-and-white tablecloths or runners, napkins, and small decorations in Bavarian style. In the Oktoberfest table decorations collection, you will find beer mugs and table decorations that can withstand a party night, among other things.
Balloons and eye-catchers for the hall
Place eye-catchers at the entrance and the stage with Oktoberfest balloons and larger elements from the Oktoberfest decorations collection. One large element per corner works better than something small everywhere.
Complete the party with the right clothing
Decorations and dress code reinforce each other. Ask guests to come in a dirndl or lederhosen and refer them to the Tyrolean Oktoberfest clothing collection, then the image is perfect from the door to the dance floor.
